Suggestions for Further Reading
Mazur, J. E. (1999). Learning and behavior. Englewood Cliffs,
NJ: Prentice-Hall.
An excellent book written for upper-division courses in behaviour
analysis. This text presents an overview of classical and operant
conditioning and is up-to-date on research and theoretical positions in
behaviour analysis.
Skinner, B. F. (1953). Science and human behavior. New York: The
Free Press.
This book, although originally published more almost 50 years ago, is
still a valuable interpretation of the behaviour-analytic position. The
basic principles of operant conditioning and their application to
understanding a wide range of behaviours are explained interestingly and
clearly. This book is an excellent choice if you wish to know more about
Skinner's views.
Skinner, B. F. (1987). Upon further reflection. Englewood Cliffs,
NJ: Prentice-Hall.
This little anthology of Skinner's more recent ideas covers topics
ranging from why we are not acting to save the world to cognitive
science to behaviourism to education. This book, too, is
thought-provoking and clearly written.
