Behavior Analysis and Learning: A Biobehavioral Approach International Student Edition 7th Edition

Description

Behavior Analysis and Learning, Seventh Edition offers an advanced and comprehensive introduction to the principles of behavior analysis from a behavioral perspective. Covering the full spectrum—from foundational respondent and operant conditioning to applied behavior analysis and cultural design—it presents a well-rounded exploration of how behaviors are learned and influenced.

Grounded in B. F. Skinner’s philosophy of radical behaviorism, the text draws on Darwinian evolution, neurophysiology, and biological research to deepen understanding of behavioral principles. This edition broadens its scope with an expanded focus on neurophysiological mechanisms and their connection to the experimental analysis of behavior, reflecting the latest studies and developments in the field.

Uniquely integrating concepts from behavior analysis, neuroscience, epigenetics, and cultural studies within a selectionist framework, the text allows readers to examine behavior through multiple lenses—environmental, genetic, neurobiological, and sociocultural. This interdisciplinary “grand synthesis” underscores the biological roots of behavior, reinforcing a scientific foundation across various levels of analysis.

To support student engagement and critical thinking, the book includes dedicated sections such as New Directions, Focus On, Note On, On the Applied Side, and Advanced Section, offering in-depth insights and real-world applications. Additionally, the seventh edition embraces inclusive language and ensures broader representation across race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexuality, and neurodiversity—reflecting a more comprehensive and respectful approach to behavioral science and research.
