ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on a number of the topics which make up the subject of the psychology and which seem to us to have something to offer to the teacher. It presents a number of ideas about how children learn; two of these are summed up in the two words 'conditioning' and 'concepts'. These are symbols for two different sets of ideas which have been found useful by many people in trying to understand, and to explain to others, how it is that children learn. The book considers the child in a wider context than that of the schoolroom, for the concept of the 'whole child' must regard him not as an individual in isolation but as an individual within a particular society.
