An up-to-date approach to behavior analysis within the framework of evolutionary theory Introduction to Behavior is a contemporary textbook for students in behavior analysis and other behaviorally-oriented disciplines.

It will help students at all levels, particularly students being trained in applied behavior analysis, offering an easily approachable and plausible framework that can inform both research and practice. Excellent for undergraduate and graduate students alike, as well as others interested in the field of behavior science, this book covers standard topics in behavior analysis from an up-to-date perspective.

Readers will be introduced to a far more effective way of viewing behavior than the traditional reinforcement-based approach.
