Learning and behavior

James E. Mazur (Author)
Reviewing how people and animals learn and how their behaviours are changed as a result of learning, this text describes the most important principles, theories, controversies, and experiments that pertain to learning and behaviour that are applicable to diverse species and different learning situations. Both classic studies and recent trends and developments are explored, providing a comprehensive survey of the field. Although the behavioural approach is emphasised, many cognitive theories are covered as well, along with a chapter on comparative cognition. Real-world examples and analogies make the concepts and theories more concrete and relevant to students
