Description
Learning is a fundamental process that underpins many aspects of psychology, neuroscience, and life sciences. Without it, memory, language, and intelligence would not be possible. In this book, Mark Haselgrove explores the concept of learning from the perspective of associative theories of classical and instrumental conditioning.
He examines the origins of these theories, discusses the techniques used to study learning in both animals and humans, and considers the importance of learning for animal behavior and survival. This Very Short Introduction provides a concise and accessible overview of the dominant analyses of learning in contemporary psychology.
