Description: Learning and Behavior, Hardcover by Chance, Paul, ISBN 1111832773, ISBN-13 9781111832773, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US This textbook focuses on learning and behavior, emphasizing how learning is a biological mechanism, how changes in behavior are the products of biological and environmental events, and that the natural science approach is the best way to study behavior. This edition has updated content; new topics like evaluative conditioning, asocial observational learning, computer-based VRET (virtual reality exposure therapy), progressive schedules, and constraint-induced movement therapy; more studies, especially those that are controversial or counterintuitive; new applications, including the use of Pavlovian and operant procedures for diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of medical disorders; and replacement of the Miller-Dollard theory of observational learning with a generic operant learning theory. It has more emphasis on the role of context in forgetting and the idea that forgetting may be a matter of stimulus control; replacement of footnotes with brief marginal notes; more emphasis in recommended reading lists on items students are likely to read; more illustrations; more research by various scientists; more on research outside the US; researcher affiliations; and a new section at the end of each chapter on its implications. It deletes the workbook, shortens the discussion of memory, and removes discussion of Edwin Twitmyer, semantic conditioning, self-control, self-awareness, and mnemonic systems, placing some content on the companion website.
