Doody’s Review Service "Highly engaging and accessible, this concise text reviews the most essential discoveries in the study of the psychology of animal learning. The issues are examined from a variety of perspectives — ethological, associative, behavior analytic, and behavioral economic. Psychology students and investigators in related disciplines looking to acquaint themselves with the key concepts and phenomena driving our understanding of basic learning processes will benefit greatly from this book." —Andrew R. Delamater, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Brooklyn College, and Graduate Center of the City University of New York, New York
"In this thoughtfully revised edition, Domjan's writing is carefully constructed to avoid as much jargon as possible in a jargon-prone and jargon-rich field. The learning and conditioning processes are contextualized so that readers without particular expertise can appreciate the role of such processes in everyday life, as well as the importance of research in the area to solve significant health problems faced by society." —Rick Bevins, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln
"Domjan expertly delivers on what the book's title promises. Each chapter integrates the fundamentals of learning with evolutionary processes through conversational text and clear diagrams and figures — a well-balanced text for undergraduate courses on learning and behavior." —Christopher A. Podlesnik, PhD, BCBA-D, Associate Professor, Schools of Psychology and Behavior Analysis, Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne
