Learning and Behavior 7th Edition

LEARNING AND BEHAVIOR looks at evolutionary and environmental influences on learning based on the theme that learning is a biological mechanism that aids survival. Chance's book is stimulating, interactive, and peppered with high-interest queries and examples-yet it still provides the kind of thorough conceptual knowledge usually associated with books twice as dense and infinitely less interesting. Explains learning and behavior, Pavlovian principles and applications, and schedules of reinforcement.Much detail and theory with large reference section. This is a TEXTBOOK for the serious student of behavior.
