Summary "The purpose of this book is to explore various experimental and naturalistic observations of complex human behavior in terms of learning principles and thereby to offer a relatively general conception of how the physical and social environments may shape human behavior. The strategy' is to employ an integrated set of learning principles that seem to have "heavy-weight" effects. There is no attempt to give an exhaustive account of learning principles or to consider the controversies and on-going research concerned with those that are presented. In extending the principles to complex human behavior, areas of application are sometimes reached that have not yet been sufficiently subjected to experimentation. Nevertheless, there appears to be enough support of the basic principles as well as a sufficient number of demonstrations of the relevance of their extrapolations to consider a learning conception of complex human behavior to be a powerful approach"--Preface.
