Principles of Learning and Behavior

The text explores key concepts in learning across 13 modules, beginning with the definition and historical development of learning within psychology. It also examines the major research methods used to study behavior before moving into topics such as elicited behaviors, respondent and operant conditioning, observational learning, and related cognitive processes including sensation, memory, language, and concept formation.
