Primer on Learning and Conditioning: A Quantitative Approach is a
succinct, practical, and exercise-based learning and conditioning
textbook designed to help students easily grasp key concepts in the
field. The book emphasizes a conceptual perspective on associative
learning and conditioning, and features a distinct focus on
experimental design and quantitative analysis. The book begins with
a brief history of the field and introduces students to the concept
of learning. Later chapters provide students with the tools and
information they need to successfully design conditioning
experiments and represent functional relations. Concepts such as
modal action patterns, generalization gradients, habituation, and
sensitization are explored. The text discusses Pavlovian and
operant conditioning, elaborating on foundational concepts such as
contingency, reinforcement and punishment, and simple schedules of
reinforcement. Students also explore the topics of self-control,
behavioral economics, and their implications on mechanisms of
reinforcement. Featuring exercises designed to strengthen key ideas
at the end of each chapter, Primer on Learning and Conditioning is
an interactive text that helps students bridge the gap between the
foundational concepts of learning and conditioning and empirical
research. It is well-suited for courses in experimental psychology
or neuroscience that are focused on learning, conditioning,
motivation, or behavior.
