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.

Great frisbee for our golden doodle
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: 9" Pack of 5
Love the product. Our golden doodle can chase these all day long. They are light enough and easy on him to catch them and they fly well. Only complaint is I wish they were a little cheaper. He does go through them

Amazing frisbees for dogs!
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: Pack of 2
These are the best frisbees for dogs. They hold up well but do fade over time if left in the sun. Our border collie mix is an avid frisbee guy and these are his favorite. The float in water well and last for quite a while. He’s not a chewer so I can’t speak to the durability with chewing. I buy a couple every year when his old ones get faded and gross, otherwise we would continue to use these for over a year!

Our dogs adore these!
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: 9" Pack of 5
We have two large-breed dogs who love retrieving in the water and playing catch in the yard, and these flying discs have been fantastic. They are the perfect size, easy to throw due to their lightweight design, and the vibrant colors make them simple to locate. While they hold up well during play, they are best suited for fetching rather than tug-of-war, as the material can be delicate if pulled too hard. Overall, both we and our dogs absolutely love them!

Fun toy, breaks with rough play
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: Pack of 2
It's a fun toy and my dog loved it, however he is quite rough so the toy broke at the point where the little plastic loop in the frisbee connects. Good for dogs who are a little more gentle.

Best dog frisbee ever!
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: Pack of 1
These frisbees are the best. We have had these for several years now they have been through countless catches, tug of war, being peed on (ew), and left out in the blazing sun, freezing cold, snow, ice, and rain. They are faded, yes, but they are perfectly intact without even a loose stitch. The design of them is different from others and the fabric of the frisbee has a slight parachute effect that gives your dog just a tiny bit more time to get those long throws. I would buy them again, but the three we have are still going strong.
