This online publication was written by Dr. Brown, Dr. Foster, Dr. Gordon and Dr. Yates.  The book is designed to become a new type of learning tool intended to help students succeed.  "In developing this book we have held three goals in mind. Our first objective is to provide you with an efficient tool designed to bolster your ability to master the content of Introductory/General Psychology.  Overall, however, our goals for you are far more ambitious.  We seek to teach you the content in this course in such a fashion that as you learn psychology as an academic subject you begin to apply learning principles to your own study and rehearsal strategies so that you become empowered in your capacity to learn.  Once you become skillful at knowing how to learn there is no stopping you.  You can master any academic subject you encounter, and you can prepare yourself for success in any career of your choosing."
