Learning, Interim (4th) Edition
by A. Charles Catania
Emphasizing research findings and basic concepts, the Interim (4th) Edition surveys the major areas in the psychology of learning from a consistent behavioral point of view. As in previous editions, Learning explores the continuities between human learning and the learning of other animals. The book organizes the phenomena of learning in a systematic way, moving from Behavior Without Learning (evolution) to Learning Without Words (basics in nonhuman behavior and learning) to Learning With Words (human learning and memory). For anyone familiar with the Fourth Edition, published in 1998 by Prentice Hall, this Interim (4th) Edition presents 40 pages of new material, inserted as addenda to chapters throughout the book. The table of contents clearly marks this new material, which should make it easier for instructors to update their teaching notes.
