Adaptive Learning and the Human Condition

How the human condition relates to
classical and instrumental conditioning


Adaptive Learning and the Human
Condition emphasizes the relationship between experimental
research and classical and instrumental conditioning. The text
addresses classical and instrumental conditioning while stressing
the definition of learning as an adaptive process through which
individuals acquire the ability to predict and control the
environment. This approach creates a perspective within which it is
possible to consider the fundamental nature of the learning process
in understanding the human condition and in addressing significant
individual and social concerns.
