Behavior Analysis and Learning: A Biobehavioral Approach, 6th Edition

The sixth edition expands focus on neurophysiological mechanisms and their relation to the experimental analysis of behavior, providing updated studies and references to reflect current expansions and changes in the field of behavior analysis. By bringing together ideas from behavior analysis, neuroscience, and epigenetics under a selectionist framework, this textbook facilitates understanding of behavior at environmental, genetic, and neurophysiological levels. This “grand synthesis” of behavior, neuroscience, and neurobiology roots behavior firmly in biology. The book includes special sections, “New Directions,” “Focus On,” “Note On,” “On the Applied Side,” and “Advanced Section,” which enhance student learning and provide greater insight on specific topics.

This book is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology or other behavior-based disciplines, especially behavioral neuroscience. For additional resources to use alongside the textbook, consult the Companion Website at www.routledge.com/cw/pierce.
