Book Description
DONALD K. ROUTH WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A reader who happens onto this book on the library shelf may find the title a puzzle. Learning is one broad subject. Speech is another. And the "complex effects of punishment" might seem far afield from either. Perhaps, intrigued by this apparent diversity and wanting to discover what common theme underlies it, the reader may begin leafing through the chapters. The first one recounts a series of studies of rats-using learning techniques from the psychology laboratory, to be sure, but applied to the study of behavior genetics, sex differences, and aging. The second chapter has to do with young children's discrimination learning. Then, there is a chapter on learning sets. Next, there is a chapter on stuttering. Then the topic shifts back to the study of learning in rats. Then, there is a clinical chapter on punishment effects. Finally, there is a historically oriented essay on Iowa psychology graduates. Surely, by now the puzzled reader wants an explana tion of why such diversity belongs between the covers of a single book.

Book Description
Psychological Development in the Elementary Years is the second in a series of reviews relating current theory and research on psychological development to educational practice. The book discusses the significance and change in psychological sex roles; peer relations; and the development and regulation of aggression in young children. The text also describes the acquisition of self-control; the developmental trends in the learning processes; and the foundations and direction of cognitive development. The theory and research on children's achievement; the family influences on language and cognitive development and the personal and social causation in the school context are also considered. The book further tackles the behavioral perspective of children with learning and behavior problems. Psychologists, psychiatrists, behavioral psychologists, and students taking related courses will find the book invaluable.

Book Description
This book looks at the brain control of psychomotor purposeful action and in particular speech through findings obtained from a new methodology developed by the author. The 'Multiple-Delayed-Reaction Verbochronometry' or MDRV can be applied in normal and pathological conditions and includes an analysis of verbal reading reactions and picture naming. Both latency times and duration of the responses (acousticograms and oromandibular electromyograms) are measured as mean values from a series of 12 trials. MDRV can be employed in a wide variety of scientific disciplines such as neurology in the diagnosis of dementia, psychiatry in determining schizophrenia and depressive disorders, and neurosurgery in evaluating the damage exerted by tumors. It can also be used in the field of phoniatrics by detecting alterations in stuttering and spastic dysphonia. In addition, neuropediatrists, logopaedists and philosophers will find a number of informative sections on the background and application of this revolutionary methodology.

Book Description
In How and Why People Change Dr. Ian M. Evans revisits many of the fundamental principles of behavior change in order to deconstruct what it is we try to achieve in psychological therapies. All of the conditions that impact people when seeking therapy are brought together in one cohesive framework: assumptions of learning, motivation, approach and avoidance, barriers to change, personality dynamics, and the way that individual behavioral repertoires are inter-related.
