9780534007003: Learning and behavior

Synopsis

LEARNING AND BEHAVIOR looks at learning as an evolutionary mechanism. Chance's book is stimulating, interactive, and peppered with high-interest queries and examples. Chance provides the depth of conceptual knowledge usually associated with books twice as dense and infinitely less interesting. Chance's engaging work has become a favorite of students because of his ability to illuminate how the psychology of learning can offer insight into their own behavior.

Review

"The easy narrative style and the many examples are a strong selling point."

". . . permits the 'novice' student to both incorporate some material from previous courses and at the same time be exposed to new concepts that will build a foundation for future work in the area."
