Behavior Analysis and Learning: A Biobehavioral Approach provides an in-depth, integrative exploration of the principles and processes that govern behavior from both behavioral and biological perspectives.
The 6th edition continues to advance the understanding of how learning, conditioning, and reinforcement are rooted in neurobiological mechanisms, offering a comprehensive framework for students and practitioners in psychology, neuroscience, and applied behavior analysis (ABA).
Key features include:
Detailed coverage of operant and respondent conditioning, motivation, and behavioral neuroscience.
Integration of classic experiments and modern research in behavioral science.
Expanded sections on relational frame theory, stimulus equivalence, and behavioral pharmacology.
Learning objectives, review questions, and applied examples that reinforce key concepts.
Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this text bridges the gap between theory, research, and application, making it an essential resource for anyone studying or practicing behavior analysis and biobehavioral science.
