An up-to-date approach to behavior analysis within the framework of evolutionary theory Introduction to Behavioris a contemporary textbook for students in behavior analysis and other behaviorally-oriented disciplines.

Readers will be introduced to a far more effective way of viewing behavior than the traditional reinforcement-based approach.  Examine traditional concepts of behavior analysis from an evolutionary perspective  Gain a concrete conceptual framework that can be used to guide research and practice in applied behavioral science  Understand human and nonhuman behaviors, both in laboratory settings and in daily life, from an individual and a social perspective  Build your knowledge of why people make the choices they make given particular environmental inputs  Introduction to Behavior fills an important gap in available texts on behavior analysis, placing helpful behavioral concepts within a sound, evidence-based evolutionary framework.
