- Summary:
- [This comprehensive volume] gives both students and professors a methodological introduction to the study of invertebrate learning. [It] provides historical background and discusses approaches to experimentation, apparatus design, and fundamental conceptual issues in this fertile area of study. /// The [book] presents detailed and practical instructions not only for applying the most effective experimental techniques and control procedures but also for designing an investigative strategy and selecting the apparatus most suitable for use with it. An exhaustive list of references gives resources for discovering both the rich legacy of past investigation and fresh avenues for innovative work. /// Charles I. Abramson explores the significance of findings about invertebrate learning and memory for current understanding of basic learning processes, stereotypic behavior, and cellular mechanisms of behavior, and he equips the reader with tools for assessing individual experimental results.
- [This book] is designed primarily as a supplemental text for courses in animal behavior and physiological psychology. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
