The Essentials of Conditioning and Learning. Fifth Edition
Michael Domjan; Andrew R. Delamater
APA Books
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: (1) Increased discussion of clinical and translational relevance of research with laboratory animals; (2) Additional coverage of current associative, ethological, behavioral, and information processing approaches to the study of learning and behavior; (3) New neuroscience findings to clarify behavioral mechanisms; (4) A streamlined presentation, clarified explanations, and copious new research; (5) Greater emphasis on how concepts relate to common human experiences--for example, learning to discriminate between phone apps or wine tasting; (6) A list of YouTube mini-lecture videos designed to accompany and augment the text; and (7) For instructors: a companion website is available containing PowerPoint slides, multiple-choice questions, reflection questions, key terms and definitions, links to supplemental videos, and a transition guide to the new edition.
