Mowrer and Klein have long been making contributions to the field
of contemporary learning theories. Their first two-volume set
included chapters authored by many of the leading researchers in
the field of animal learning and focused primarily on Pavlovian
theory and instrumental conditioning. These impartial texts were an
important addition to the field and remain widely cited.
Over the last decade research on the nature of the learning
process has evolved considerably. The research in this new volume
represents the cutting-edge contributions of first rate authors and
co-authors. These 14 chapters deal with the theoretical
perspectives concerning the nature of the learning process, as well
as the innovative research that supports these positions. This text
is bound to be invaluable to both students and faculty of
psychology and related disciplines, as well as to outside scholars.
Key features include:
* an introductory chapter describing general theories of learning
and the causes of the shift to more specific, contemporary
theories;
* five chapters detailing the research and theories of the nature
of Pavlovian Conditioning;
* four chapters dealing with the current thinking and research on
the nature of instrumental operant conditioning;
* three chapters describing the link between learning and
physiology; and
* a concluding chapter detailing the application of learning
theory to abnormal psychology.
