A classic introduction to the science of behavior, this book surveys how living beings sense, act, and adapt. It covers the basic ideas of sense organs, instinct, learning, and habit formation, using practical examples and clear explanations.
- See how sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch shape responses in animals and people.
- Explore the role of instinct and how social influence can modify inherited patterns.
- Learn how habits form, how training methods work, and how different factors affect learning.

Excerpt from Behavior an Introduction to Comparative Psychology
An endeavor has been made to adapt the book to the needs of various classes of readers. Where only a short time can be devoted to a classroom course in behavior, I suggest that chapters I, II, III, V, VII, and IX be omitted.

Excerpt from Behavior an Introduction to Comparative Psychology
This volume on behavior is an elaboration of the eight lectures given at Columbia University during the winter of 1913. It has been written with the hope that it may be found serviceable in classroom work in psychology and biology. Needless technicalities and detailed references have been omitted. For this reason the general reader may find something of interest in its pages. The book must not be looked upon as a reference book or treatise. The treatment of the research material has not been exhaustive. For the most part no attempt has been made to give investigators detailed credit for their work. I have not, however, been able to carry out consistently the plan of omitting references. In most sciences which have existed for any length of time a general body of data becomes common property, and it is unnecessary to mention the original discoverers of the universally accepted facts. Some parts of the study of behavior are so involved in controversy that no results can be said as yet to be universally accepted by specialists in the subject. In dealing with these facts, especially in the chapters on the sense organs, it has been necessary to enter with some detail into the discussion of the investigations and theories of individual writers. It is hoped that the volume will contribute something towards the introduction of more careful methods in the study of behavior, and serve to mark off the study from the other sciences.
An endeavor has been made to adapt the book to the needs of various classes of readers. Where only a short time can be devoted to a classroom course in behavior, I suggest that chapters I, II, III, V, VII, and IX be omitted.
In the preparation of the manuscript my heaviest obligation is to Dr. K. S. Lashley, Bruce Fellow in Biology, the Johns Hopkins University.

Behavior an Introduction to Comparative Psychology (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the traditional understanding of psychology, advocating for a shift from the study of consciousness to the objective observation of behavior. The author argues that the focus on introspection and internal mental states has hindered psychology's progress as a natural science. Instead, the book proposes a behaviorist approach that emphasizes the prediction and control of behavior through the study of stimulus-response relationships and habit formation. Published in an era marked by the rise of behaviorism, this book contributes to the ongoing debate about the nature of psychology and its methods. It delves into topics like instinct, habit formation, learning processes, and the limitations of animal training. The author draws upon extensive research on animal behavior to illustrate key concepts and demonstrate the applicability of behaviorist principles across species, including humans. The book explores themes of adaptation, the influence of heredity and environment on behavior, and the role of language in shaping human experience. It questions the existence of purely mental phenomena like imagery and emotions, suggesting that they can be understood as forms of implicit behavior with observable physiological correlates. By presenting a comprehensive framework for understanding behavior, this book offers valuable insights that extend beyond the realm of psychology, influencing fields such as education, law, and medicine.
