This 1980 book provides a general but comprehensive study of the
way in which animals learn and in particular, learn about the
relationship between events in their environment. The study of
animal learning and conditioning can be approached from two very
different perspectives. The psychologist can focus directly on
behaviour, relying on the conditioning experiment in his attempt to
formulate behavioural laws and principles which will transcend the
confines of the laboratory. The learning theorist however, is
concerned not with behavioural change per se but rather with the
way in which animals acquire knowledge through experience: the
types of relationship to which they are sensitive, their
representation of their knowledge about these and the mechanisms
that control these representations. Dr Dickinson provides an
integrated survey of the experimental and theoretical work which
was being carried out as he wrote. The book will continue to
interest scholars of animal learning theory.
