Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is dedicated to the late B.F. Skinner as a tribute to his pioneering work on the experimental analysis of behaviour. This science that he initiated studies the behaviour of individual organisms under laboratory conditions.;The volume describes a broad collection of representative and effective research techniques in the experimental analysis of behaviour; techniques derived solely from infrahuman subjects, which have been selected both for their utility in behaviour analysis and for their potential value in expanding the use of behaviour analysis in the neurosciences. By bringing together under one cover the expertise of individual authors regarding techniques based on their particular laboratory experiences, the book provides an informative and practical source of methods and techniques for those practising or interested in experimental analysis of behaviour.
