A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For sophomore/graduate-level courses in Learning, Learning and Behavior, Learning and Conditioning, and Behavior Analysis.

Widely adopted for its thoroughness and clarity, this contemporary survey of the field of learning offers comprehensive coverage of both classic studies and the most recent developments and trends—with an emphasis on the importance of learning principles in everyday life. Many real-world examples and analogies make the often abstract concepts and theories of the field more concrete and relevant, and most chapters include sections that describe how the theories and principles have been used in the applied field of behavior modification.
