Based on the latest research available, INTRODUCTION TO LEARNING AND BEHAVIOR, 4e equips students with a clear introduction to the basic principles of learning and behavior. Designed to apply learning theory and principles to the presentation of learning, it vividly illustrates how learning principles work in both animals and people. The authors clearly demonstrate how the study of learning helps solve practical problems, such as improving study skills, improving relationships, raising children, and effectively stopping smoking. An all-new chapter focuses on "Comparative Cognition". Helping readers maximize their comprehension and retention of key concepts, the authors include numerous opportunities for review and self-testing.

Textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 3 January 2013Verified Purchase
This is a textbook for my Theories of Learning psych class and I must say that love it. The book is huge with a lot of pages but the layout is great for studying. Each chapter is split into sections with little review quizzes so you get a better understanding of the material and its applications. Each chapter ends with a chapter test that is numbered weird so that you can avoid "accidentally" looking at the next question's answers until you're ready. It's a great textbook.

Great book
Reviewed in the United States on 5 June 2013Verified Purchase
I just wanted to add to the others. This is a great book, I have no intention of selling it back. The layout and format make it easy to read and learn. It's set up to help you study better and help you retain that knowledge. All of this is independent from the actual type of information taught. I wish every subject I studied had books that were so well written. Oh and the information in the book is great too.

This is an awesome textbook. The concepts are clearly presented and easy to understand. New concepts are built upon as the book progresses, and quizzes at the end of each section make sure that you understand the important concepts. I used this book for an online class and it was so thorough I didn't even watch the lectures and still got an A.

Fantastic Textbook for Behavioral Changes
Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2014Verified Purchase
I had to buy this textbook for a course entitled Learning and Behavior (focusing on behavioral changes through classical and operant conditioning). I have begun reading it and so far it is a wonderful textbook, as textbook goes it is on the smaller side so you don't have to worry about lugging around a large hefty book. Regarding the book itself, after each section there are quizzes to review all the information in said sections, these quizzes are fairly simple in the sense that the answers lie within the section and don't require much more searching. Each chapter is arranged that at the end there is a summary, chapter test, key/major definitions from the chapter, and chapter test answers. Having bought the textbook used the quizzes and chapter tests are filled in, whereas they wouldn't be there if the book was new. So far I like the format of the book, since its tools enhance productive studying and other preparation skills. I will be using this textbook since my professor said she will be using questions directly from it, which makes studying/preparation somewhat simpler.
