Handbook of Complex Learning

"How do organisms learn to adapt in a changing world? What transforms a simple behavior into a complex repertoire such as speaking, reasoning, or planning?"

Designed like a spiral staircase, this manual guides the reader from the historical and scientific foundations of learning to advanced phenomena such as verbal behavior, categorization, consciousness, problem-solving, and derived relations. With each turn, the text deepens and expands the understanding of how fundamental learning processes underpin even the most sophisticated forms of behavior. Written in a clear style with numerous examples, this work is an essential tool for students and professionals wishing to understand, level by level, how behavioral complexity is built.

"A book designed for ascent: concept by concept, until reaching a panoramic view of complex learning."
