The Essentials of Conditioning and Learning - Paperback Book - by Andrew R Delamater - 9781433840142 - American Psychological Association

Through four previous editions, students and instructors have relied on this book’s clear, concise, and highly accessible overview of the processes and mechanisms responsible for conditioning and learning. Domjan and Delamater summarize major theories of how humans and nonhuman animals learn, along with the classic experiments that support these theories and how they have been applied to address real-world problems.

New in the fifth edition:

Increased discussion of clinical and translational relevance of research with laboratory animals

Additional coverage of current associative, ethological, behavioral, and information processing approaches to the study of learning and behavior

New neuroscience findings to clarify behavioral mechanisms

A streamlined presentation, clarified explanations, and copious new research
