From my undergrad Psychology days (10+ years ago), here are a few of the textbooks used in my classes: Language Development by Erika Hoff-Ginsberg (I used the 1st edition) 4th edition, 2008 (outrageously expensive) 3rd edition, 2004 (reasonably priced) [ (Second Edition)Learning and Memory: A Biological View (http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Memory-Second-Biological-View/dp/0124749925/) by Joe L. Martinez, Jr. and Raymond P. Kesner [It seems like they’ve released a more recent book, http://www.amazon.com/Neurobiology-Learning-Memory-Second-Raymond/dp/0123725402/”]Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, Second Edition I actually still have the “Learning and Memory” book (they came out with their new book, so I got stuck with this one). It’s been awhile, so I couldn’t really tell you much about them beyond their name. But maybe it will at least give you a starting point.
