Show students how to examine learning through an evolutionary lens as Chance/Furlong's LEARNING AND BEHAVIOR, 8E demonstrates how learning has evolved as a biological mechanism to aid in survival. This clear, engaging presentation embraces a scientific approach to studying behavior with updated content, numerous learning features and current examples that strengthen comprehension. Timely research demonstrates the relevance of the content as students study concepts such as "nature via nurture" and the co-dependency of ontogeny and phylogeny. This edition also includes one of today's clearest explanations of the Rescorla-Wagner model. New learning objectives direct attention to important concepts for study while updated Concept Checks further ensure comprehension. In addition, all content corresponds with the latest edition of the APA Publication Manual.
