About this Item

This text shows students how the psychology of learning can offer insight into their own behaviour. The book has been extensively revised and updated with new examples, pedagogical features, definitions, and more. At the same time, Chance maintains the strengths that gave previous editions such wide appeal: a simple writing style; high-interest material; numerous applications and examples; humour; queries that help students monitor their comprehension; review questions that stimulate thought and discussion; an emphasis on key concepts; and a strong natural-science approach to behaviour.

About this title

Synopsis

LEARNING AND BEHAVIOR looks at evolutionary and environmental influences on learning. Chance's book is stimulating, interactive, and peppered with high-interest queries and examples-yet it still provides the kind of thorough conceptual knowledge usually associated with books twice as dense and infinitely less interesting. Chance's engaging work has become a favorite of students, as it illuminates how the psychology of learning can offer insight into their own behavior.
