Originally published in 1975, Volume 2 of this Handbook looks at
areas traditionally associated with learning theory such as
conditioning, discrimination and behavior theory. It deals with
concepts and theories growing principally out of laboratory studies
of conditioning and learning. The intention was to treat
mechanisms, processes, and principles of some generality -
applicable at least to all vertebrates. It was becoming well
understood that detailed interpretations of particular behaviors
required the authors to take account of the way general principles
operate in the context of species-specific behavioral organizations
and developmental histories; but detailed consideration of just how
these interpretations were accomplished for different animal forms
was another enterprise. Here the authors limit their task to
abstracting from the enormous literature facts and ideas which
seemed general enough to be of interest and perhaps utility to
investigators in other disciplines at the time. Volume 1 presented
an overview of the field and introduced the principal theoretical
and methodological issues that persistently recurred in the
expanded treatments of specific research areas that comprise the
later volumes. Volume 3 looks at human learning and motivation,
while the last 3 volumes range over the many active lines of
research identified with human cognitive processes at the time.
