Holden-Day, 1968, Hardcover (Original Cloth), Book Condition: Very Good, Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good, Unstated
From the Dust Jacket: "Designed as a supplement for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on animal learning, learning theory, and mathematical psychology, this monograph presents the first precise treatment of discrimination learning in book form. The volume discusses a wide variety of questions which must be answered in the course of formulating a precise quantitative model. After a large number of experimental results are introduced for each question and their implications for theory considered in detail, a 'best guess' is made about what assumptions should be made in a theory. In the final part of the monograph, these 'best guesses' are integrated into a formal model for discrimination learning, and the behaviour produced by this model is compared with that of real animals."
