"With its modular organization, consistent chapter structure, and contemporary perspective, this groundbreaking survey is ideal for courses on learning and memory, and is easily adaptable to courses that focus on either learning or memory. Instructors can assign the chapters they want from four distinctive modules (introduction, learning, memory, and integrative topics), with each chapter addressing behavioral processes, then the underlying neuroscience, then relevant clinical perspectives. The book is further distinguished by its full-color presentation and coverage that includes comparisons between studies of human and nonhuman brains.

***  The new edition offers enhanced pedagogy and more coverage of animal learning ***

REVIEWS:
Students rated the reading very highly and felt the information was very clearly written and engaging. - Nanthia Suthana, UCLA
I love the way this textbook organizes the chapters to the three different parts. It helps me with teaching the material because it keeps me organized and it allows for a nice transition during the lectures. This structure seems to benefit the students as well. They have said that it makes studying the material in the book easier when it is broken down into chunks. - Monica Bolton, University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Between the writing style and wonderful graphics I am absolutely in love with this text. - Arlo Clark-Foos, University of Michigan, Dearborn

I love the organization, that’s the primary reason I selected the book in the first place. Covering all three parts [behavioral processes, brain substrates, and clinical perspectives] ensures that most (if not all) students can find something of interest. For instance, I have a number of clinical psych students take the course who typically enjoy learning how the behavior and brain material is translated into clinical outcomes. - Derek Lindquist, The Ohio State University
