Thinking and
Language

Judith Greene’s contribution to the Essential Psychology series edited by Peter Herriot. First published 1975 by Methuen and reprinted 1977; ISBN 0 416 81880 3 in paperback. It sets behaviourist and cognitive theories of thinking against each other, works through problem-solving experiments — verbal learning, concept attainment, reasoning, insight — and moves on to the relation between thinking and language. Dedicated “For my mother and father”.
