Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how rats perform differently when introduced to mazes of varying degrees of difficulty, following various stages and combinations of training. The author experimented with the learning behaviors of different rat groups across multiple maze variations and sequences. The rats' performance outcomes were measured across numerous parameters including time, trials, and errors. Results were analyzed to determine whether there was a positive or negative transfer of training between mazes, and whether or not this effect was cumulative and persistent across the different mazes and conditions. Findings suggest that positive transfer of training is present when rats learn subsequent mazes, and that this transfer effect persists across a series of mazes. However, the data does not suggest that the transfer is cumulative, as there were various instances where the transfer decreased over the course of three maze learnings. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into the nature of learning transfer and its implications for understanding how learning occurs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Wicked witches, bad fairies, and the restless dead be damned, for those who are looking to fill up their folk horror fiction shelves, Damnable Talesis a must-have' Andy Paciorek, Horrified Magazine 'I had to keep pulling myself away from it so I didn't finish it in one sitting . . . An incredible book'Annie Kapur,Vocal Media This richly illustrated anthology gathers together classic short stories from masters of supernatural fiction including M. R. James, Sheridan Le Fanu and Arthur Machen, alongside lesser-known voices in the field including Eleanor Scott and Margery Lawrence, and popular writers less bound to the horror genre, such as Thomas Hardy and E. F. Benson.These are damnable tales, selected and beautifully illustrated by Richard Wells. They stalk the moors at night, the deep forests, cornered fields and dusky churchyards, the narrow lanes and old ways of these ancient places, drawing upon the haunted landscapes of folk-horror - a now widely used term first applied to a series of British films from the late 1960s and 1970s: Witchfinder General (1968), Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), and The Wicker Man (1973).But as this collection shows, writers of uncanny fiction were dabbling in the dark side of folklore long before. These twenty-two stories take the reader beyond the safety and familiarity of the town into the isolated and untamed wilderness. Unholy rites, witches' curses, sinister village traditions and ancient horrors that lurk within the landscape all combine to remind us that the shiny modern, urban world might not have all the answers Copyright © Unbound.…
