Learning

by A. Charles Catania

Emphasizing research findings and basic concepts rather than theories, this book surveys the major areas in the psychology of learning from a consistent behaviorist (i.e., B.F. Skinner) point of view. 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).

A really challenging book for a challenging topic. Clarifies a lot about human learning and is a great intermediate/advanced book for those who like experimental behavior analysis.

This was a textbook for class. The information wasn't bad, he just sounded like he was trying to sound smart and important the whole book. He didn't have to make things as complicated as he did.
