For
undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Behavior Modification, Behavior Analysis and
Learning.
This text offers a solid
introduction to the principles of behavior using a clear, interesting, entertaining style
with many case studies and everyday examples. This text maintains a high level of
intellectual rigor, addressing fundamental concepts at the beginning of each chapter with
more advanced topics left for one of the two enrichment sections within each chapter.
A flexible introduction
to behavior theory and analysis, presenting each chapter in two sections:
The Fundamentals section
presents the bare-bones essence of the chapter content and can be understood by
undergraduates and graduates alike.
The Enrichment section
consists of two levels: Basic, written at a level appropriate for undergraduates
who might not aspire to any further coursework in behavior analysis; and Intermediate,
written at a progressively more difficult and esoteric level for juniors, seniors and
others who will be doing further work in behavior analysis. The authors assume anyone
reading the Intermediate level will also read the Basic level and find it useful.
Hypothetical Skinner box
examples using rats or pigeons illustrate many basic behavioral contingencies and
procedures.
Compare and Contrast
sections-Presented where necessary on topics such as: escape vs. punishment,
reinforcer vs. reinforcement, time out vs. response cost, penalty vs. extinction,
differential reinforcement vs. reinforcement.
Research methods can be
presented in one of two ways-either in context in the various Enrichment sections,
or in a separate chapter.
Engaging, friendly writing
style.
Allows authors to present
fairly sophisticated information in a way that encourages students to read. Fictional
characters abound but they always refer to the original research. Likewise, after
professional behavior analysts are introduced with formal titles and last names, they are
referred to by their first names to demonstrate their humanness and to reinforce to
students that these are professions to which they can aspire.
Contains pedagogical
devices-Such as study objectives, multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions
throughout.
