Learning and Memory From Brain to Behavior SECOND EDITION

Gluck, Mercado and Myers’ breakthrough first edition brought a long overdue modern perspective to the learning and memory textbook. It was the first book for the course developed from page one to account for the growing importance of neuroscience in the field, the first to compare brain studies and behavioral approaches in human and other animal species, and the first available in full-color throughout. Rigorously updated, with a convenient new modular format, __Learning and Memory__, Second Edition, is unmatched at showing students where the study of learning and memory is and where it is heading. Requiring no prerequisite coursework, it connects learning, memory, and neuroscience in a way that fits your classroom. **To preview a chapter from __Learning and Memory__, Second Edition, visit here.** The psychology of learning and memory The neuroscience of learning and memory Habituation, sensitization, and familiarization : learning about repeated events Classical conditioning : learning to predict important events Operant conditioning : learning the outcome of behaviors Generalization and discrimination learning Episodic and semantic memory : memory for facts and events Skill memory : learning by doing Working memory and cognitive control Emotional influences on learning and memory Social learning and memory : observing, interacting, and reenacting Development and aging : learning and memory across the lifespan.

Gluck, Mercado and Myers’s Learning and Memory is the first textbook developed from its inception to reflect the convergence of brain studies and behavioral approaches in modern learning and memory research incorporating findings both in animals and humans. Each chapter integrates coverage of both human memory and animal learning, with separate sections specifically devoted to behavioral processes, brain systems, and clinical perspectives.

Rigorously updated, with a new modular format, the second edition of Learning and Memory brings a modern perspective to the study of this key topic. Reflecting the growing importance of neuroscience in the field, it compares brain studies and behavioural approaches in human and other animal species, and is available in full-colour throughout. Developments in neuroscience have changed the field of learning and memory significantly in the last ten years. This comprehensive introduction to learning and memory covers behavioural processes, brain systems, and clinical perspectives
