This edited book addresses four themes of contemporary importance
in the experimental and applied analysis of behaviour:
chronobiology (relationships between time and behaviour), the
emergence of rational thinking, language, and behavioural medicine.
The current empirical and theoretical status of each theme is
considered in individual chapters, the authors of which are
distinguished research scientists drawn from a wide range of
scholarship and with a distinctive European dimension. This
cultural and theoretical diversity emerges from the fact that each
chapter is developed from a paper originally presented by
invitation at the Second European Meeting on the Experimental
Analysis of Behaviour, which was held in Liege, Belgium in 1988.
Within the four themes, individual topics address issues such as
circadian rhythms in behaviour, temporal regulation in children and
in animals, the emergence of equivalence relations in children and
animals, the development of thinking in mentally retarded children,
reasoning and associative learning in animals, rule?governed
behaviour, theoretical issues relating language to the theory of
mind, the relationship between behavioural and visceral functions,
the relevance of behavioural approaches to the prevention of AIDS,
and the development of self?detection skills for breast cancer. The
book makes an important contribution to the literature of
contemporary behaviour analysis by reviewing issues of current
interest and importance from a broad theoretical base.
