Behavior Analysis and Learning: A Biobehavioral Approach, 7th Edition, serves as an advanced textbook exploring the principles of learned behavior. The volume draws on evolutionary concepts alongside neurophysiological and biological research in its examination of B. F. Skinner's radical behaviorism.
The text introduces foundational principles spanning reflexive actions, respondent and operant conditioning, stimulus control, and aversive control, extending to applied behavior analysis and cultural design. It also examines the biological context of conditioning, investigating interrelationships between operant and respondent processes.
Intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this edition organizes behavioral science within a selectionist framework uniting biology, behavior, and culture. Distinctive New Directions sections highlight expanding lines of contemporary research.
