"Although I have been basically an academic for most of my life,
the way I got there has taken some surprising turns." An
unsuspected ancestry, playing in WW2 London, comical schooldays,
and a spell in colonial Africa are just a few of the childhood
moments described in John Staddon's memoir The Englishman. This is
not just another transatlantic autobiography from a British
working-class kid who made his name in the USA. It's a witty and
entertaining romp through the subject he has made his own. By way
of his wide-ranging interests in biology, artificial intelligence,
economics, philosophy and behavioural neuroscience, John Staddon
introduces and explores his most important work on how animals
learn. He discusses the exciting field of behavioural
psychobiology, explains theoretical research on choice and interval
timing and debates so-called superstition in the learned behaviour
of pigeons, rats, fish - and people. The Englishman is an
entertaining life story interwoven with expansive thoughts on the
fascinating field of behavioural psychology.
