Handbook of Classical Conditioning

In this volume, the authors share their combined 40 years of experience in conducting classical conditioning experiments. Unlike many books on classical conditioning, this book explores hands-on issues of how to implement classical conditioning experiments, describing many of the techniques and equipment used to discover the locus for a simple memory in the brain. Circuit diagrams for instrumentation and software for control and analysis are detailed, and many of these apply to other behavioral paradigms. Included in the CD are source codes in Forth and C++ implementations for classical conditioning, drawings and images of a simple rabbit brain atlas emphasizing the cerebellum and brainstem, and the original figures used in the text.
