Handbook of Complex Learning

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