Description

The Essentials of Conditioning and Learning - Fifth Edition

This thoroughly updated fifth edition textbook provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of conditioning and learning psychology. Written by renowned experts Michael Domjan and Andrew R. Delamater, this classic text serves undergraduate and graduate psychology courses with clear explanations of learning processes and mechanisms.

What's New in the Fifth Edition

This revised edition expands coverage of clinical applications and translational research with laboratory animals. The authors have streamlined the presentation while adding substantial new research findings. Enhanced discussions of associative, ethological, behavioral, and information processing approaches provide students with current perspectives on learning theory.

New neuroscience findings clarify behavioral mechanisms throughout the text. The fifth edition emphasizes real-world applications, connecting concepts to everyday human experiences like learning to discriminate between phone apps or wine tasting. Each chapter is supported by YouTube mini-lecture videos designed to accompany the text.

Core Content and Approach

The textbook summarizes major theories of how humans and nonhuman animals learn, supported by classic experiments and real-world applications. Coverage includes classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and modern learning mechanisms. The authors balance theoretical frameworks with practical examples, making complex psychological concepts accessible to students.

Teaching and Learning Resources

Instructors receive access to a companion website containing PowerPoint slides, multiple-choice questions, reflection questions, key terms and definitions, supplemental video links, and a transition guide from the fourth edition. These resources support comprehensive course planning and student engagement.
