Associative learning and conditioning theory: human and non-human applications

Organisms survive and succeed because of their ability to learn and adapt to changing circumstances and new demands. As discussed in the chapters of the present volume, an appreciation of the mechanisms and principles of learning andconditioning is fundamental to any analysis of normal behavior.
