A good, detailed book on Learning and Conditioning. I read the 1994 version when considering it for a textbook in my learning class. However, this particular book seemed a bit heavy for my undergraduates.

Could've been better and more thorough, if more self-test, quiz material, and colour graphics were in the text. All-in-all, the book gave a lucid introduction to the topic of Learning Psychology. Domjan did a much better job than my lecturer in explaining the material. Therefore, if you are currently the object of subpar teaching, do yourself a favour and read the book.

Wonderful textbook. It offers a comprehensive understanding of classic learning theories without intimidating its readers the way the original literature would. It's thanks to this book that I began studying classical conditioning, which remains a strong foundation in my research to this day.
