About this title

Synopsis

In its fourth incarnation, Learning preserves its well-balanced academic rigor and accessibility. Klein continues to present a thorough coverage of both classic and current studies of animal and human research. Of particular interest are the recent findings of leading psychologists investigating animal learning. New pedagogical elements lead students through the logical processing of information. And the reorganization of chapter coverage and order allows instructors more options in planning their course.
