Customer Reviews

Straightforward and useful

The book is pretty straightforward and helpful. The mini self-examinations at the end of each section either reviews highlights the major concepts concisely or indicates that you weren't paying enough attention. I am HAPPY with my purchase. Very clear little psychology book that can also be entertaining to read.

Jade's Review

Learning and Behavior is very well written, clear, and effective text for Psychology students. This book covers some history of psychological theory, the actual application of those theories, and conducting and understanding behavioral research and it's implications about the learning process of humans and animals. The mini-chapter reviews and end of chapter tests are excellent for solidifying information in one's memory and aiding in the application of such information. This book provides evidence that a smaller, condensed, and micro-focused text is far more effective for studying a subject, than a huge text book attempting to cover too many fields worth of information.
