Publisher's Synopsis

The last 50 years have seen a shift in the biobehavioural study of learning and motivation, from an emphasis on mechanistic ideas about drive and reinforcement to a focus on ethology and on cognitive theories. Robert C. Bolles was at the forefront of this shift, and his work "Theory of Motivation" stirred interest in radical empiricism and adaptive function. This book traces the development of Bolles' work, and examines the impact that his thinking has had.
