Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

With an emphasis on human behaviour, this book presents in detail both the principles of behaviour analysis and the experimental evidence underlying them, examining the factors that make such principles effective. It focuses on actual research into human behaviour problems to capitalize on its inherent fascination for students, and provides numerous graphs which illustrate the factors contributing to the effectiveness of behaviour principles.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 524-569) and indexes.
