What is learning? How does it take place? What happens when it goes wrong?

The topic of learning has been central to the development of the science of psychology since its inception. Without learning there can be no memory, no language and no intelligence. Indeed it is rather difficult to imagine a part of psychology, or neuroscience, that learning does not touch upon. In this Very Short Introduction, Mark Haselgrove describes learning from the perspective of associative theories of classical and instrumental conditioning, and considers why these are the dominant, and best described analyses of learning in contemporary psychology. Tracing the origins of these theories, he discusses the techniques used to study learning in both animals and humans, and considers the importance of learning for animal behavior and survival.

Very Sturdy Industrial Shelves with a High-End Look
Size: 48in, Color: 3-layer
The OLDRAINBOW Industrial Pipe Shelves with Wood Planks 3 Tier 48in are very sturdy and have a high-end look once installed. The combination of metal pipes and wood planks gives them a strong, rustic-industrial style that looks more expensive than expected. They feel solid and well-built, not flimsy at all. Once mounted, the shelves feel very stable and can hold a good amount of weight, which makes them practical for books, decor, or kitchen items. Overall, these shelves are both functional and visually impressive. They add a polished, high-end feel to the space and I am very happy with them.

Really sturdy. Beautiful addition in Kitchen
Size: 36in, Color: 3-layer
We put this up in our kitchen to hold our recipe books and other odds and ends. It is really beautiful and ties the space together nicely with the blank wall we had. It’s sturdy to hold several recipe books and a great price point for the quality. The only thing was that the second shelf did not line up from one pipe to the other. The top and bottom shelves aligned perfectly, so the pipes were leveled, but it seems that the pipes in the middle were not equal distance and the shelf wobbles. We’ll be putting something underneath one end to balance it out.
