Summary: Shows how learning principles revealed in animal research can be applied to human behavior. Challenges readers to think for themselves by exploring the logic of experiments, and focuses on key theories, presenting an in-depth coverage that clarifies complexities. Introduces neural network models and explores their potential to explain all aspects of learning, from classical conditioning in slugs to language learning in humans. Includes chapter glossaries, summaries, and questions. This third edition includes many practical human learning examples, expanded coverage of choice behavior and concept recognition, and illustrative images from a new software program that simulates learning phenomena.
