DESCRIPTION: Now in its fourth edition, Michael Domjan's classic textbook offers a concise introduction to learning and conditioning that describes the most influential research findings and theoretical perspectives.

Domjan not only summarizes basic learning and conditioning principles using both human and animal examples but also describes how the latest discoveries in the field are being applied to tackle major clinical health problems.

Thoroughly updated to reflect contemporary research, this edition contains a wealth of new material on various aspects of extinction, and contemporary research on consolidation, reconsolidation, and memory updating is explored in an expanded discussion of memory mechanisms.

Domjan also describes novel applications of Pavlovian conditioning and, in his discussion of instrumental conditioning, new findings on response allocation and behavioral economics.

Students of psychology and neuroscience will value this succinct overview of the processes and mechanisms responsible for conditioning and learning.
