Reviews
Hall's book is a tour de force: it convincingly explains a wide range of phenomena. . . .He suggests enough new experiments to keep workers in animal learning busy for years. And he exhibits great zest: one might say that he writes with faith, hope and clarity. --Nature<br> Stimulating. . . . well written. Hall's text is an excellent example of a scholarly monograph focused on a single problem. It is not to be missed by anyone interested in associative theory or Gibsonian (ecological) perception. --Contemporary Psychology<br> [Hall] presents refreshingly objective and integrative interpretations of the data. --Science<br> Each chapter by itself is a joy to read. The strength of the chapters is that each is a self-contained unit. Because the introductions are so clear and give the reader an intuitive feel for the chapter material, they serve as a great enticement and encourage, if not bait, the reader to continue reading. . . . discussion of experiments is quite extensive . . . extremely relevant. Since the topic is presented in an intuitive matter, as well as a detailed and specific matter, the book can be enjoyed by a wide audience. It would certainly make a great source for a graduate learning seminar and a great source as a current reference book on associative learning. --New Ideas in Psychology<br>
