Adaptive Learning and the Human Condition provides a coherent and
comprehensive introduction to the basic principles of classical
(Pavlovian) and instrumental (Skinnerian) conditioning. When
combined with observational learning and language, they are
responsible for human accomplishment from the Stone Age to the
digital age. This edition has been thoroughly updated throughout,
relating adaptive learning principles to clinical applications as
well as non-traditional topics such as parenting, moral
development, and the helping professions. Defining learning as an
adaptive process enables students to understand the need to review
the basic animal research literature in classical and operant
conditioning and consider how it applies to human beings in our
everyday lives. Divided into four parts, this book covers
historical research into psychology and adaptive learning,
principles of adaptive learning (prediction and control), adaptive
learning and the human condition, and behavior modification and the
helping professions. The book showcases how an adaptive learning
strategy can be practical, diagnostic, and prescriptive, making
this an essential companion for psychology students and those
enrolled in programs in professional schools and helping
professions including psychiatry, special education, health
psychology, and physical therapy.
