Riassunto

Emphasizing research findings rather than just theories, the third edition of this text surveys the major areas of the psychology of learning. It provides a balanced treatment of animal learning and conditioning with human learning and memory - ranging from instinctive behaviour and reflexes to problem solving and cognition. Catania uses experimental data to illustrate the relevance of basic principles to important human concepts, such as language, memory, self-awareness, freedom of choice and self-control. New features include full chapters, one on evolution and behaviour and one on social learning. Greater emphasis is placed upon such topics as animal cognition, ethology and foraging theory, higher-order classes of behaviour, equivalence classes and biological constraints on learning.
