Description
Using a behavioral perspective, Behavior Analysis and Learning provides an advanced introduction to the principles of behavior analysis and learned behaviors, covering a full range of principles from basic respondent and operant conditioning through applied behavior analysis into cultural design. The text uses Darwinian, neurophysiological, and biological theories and research to inform B. F. Skinner’s philosophy of radical behaviorism.
The seventh edition expands the focus on neurophysiological mechanisms and their relation to the experimental analysis of behavior, providing updated studies and references to reflect current expansions and changes in the field of behavior analysis. By bringing together ideas from behavior analysis, neuroscience, epigenetics, and culture under a selectionist framework, the text facilitates understanding of behavior at environmental, genetic, neurophysiological, and sociocultural levels. This “grand synthesis” of behavior, neuroscience, and neurobiology roots behavior firmly in biology. The text includes special sections, “New Directions,” “Focus On,” “Note On,” “On the Applied Side,” and “Advanced Section,” which enhance student learning and provide greater insight on specific topics. This edition was also updated for more inclusive language and representation of people and research across race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, and neurodiversity.
Behavior Analysis and Learning is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology or other behavior-based disciplines, especially behavioral neuroscience.

Daniel Evans –
Well-written and incredibly thorough. The updated 7th edition remains the most comprehensive biobehavioral resource currently available on the market.
Michael S –
This 7th edition provides a perfect bridge between biological processes and operant conditioning for my graduate-level behavior analysis coursework.
Sarah J –
I love how Pierce and Cheney integrate neurobiology with traditional behaviorism; it makes the science feel much more modern.
David R –
The international student edition is affordable and contains all the essential diagrams needed to understand complex reinforcement schedules clearly.
Jessica K –
As a BCBA candidate, I found the chapters on elicited and operant behavior incredibly detailed and helpful for exam prep.
Robert H –
The biobehavioral approach is the future of the field, and this textbook explains the intersection of genes and environment.
Emily W –
A bit dense at times, but the research citations are up-to-date and the pedagogical aids help with difficult concepts.
Christopher M –
This is the gold standard for understanding how biology constrains and enables learning across different species in laboratory settings.
Amanda T –
Excellent layout with clear definitions; it really helped me grasp the nuances of respondent conditioning versus operant learning styles.
