Each has contributed much. Their main meeting ground has been the study of mammals, especially rats. This classic book is unique in bringing together the principal conclusions of these researchers in a compact, well illustrated, and lucid form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author himself made important original contributions to wild rat behavior; his account of white rat psychology and of relevant work on other species is equally authoritative. Experience as a teacher enabled him to write an unusually logical and comprehensive text, suitable for students of zoology, psychology and medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book belongs to no particular school of biology or psychology. Rather it admits the work of all schools and strict adherence to none. The principal topics covered include: movement in the living space; feeding behavior; social and reproductive behavior; the analysis of instinct; the analysis of learned behavior; motivation and drive; the brain and behavior. The book includes a full, carefully selected bibliography, current up to the time of original publication of the original edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: Statement of Themes; 2: Movement in the Living Space; 3: Feeding Behaviour; 4: Rat ‘Societies’; 5: Fixed Patterns and Heredity; 6: A Taxonomy of Learning; 7: Analysis of Learning; 8: The Analysis of ‘Drive’; 9: Brain and Behaviour; 10: The Study of Behaviour","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd (Sales)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017643360599,"sku":"9780202309774","price":45.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780202309774.jpg?v=1750774209","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-rat-a-study-in-behavior-9780202309774","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
