Progress in Physiological Psychology

Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 1 is a six-chapter text that covers the advances both in experimental and theoretical studies on physiological psychology. Chapter 1 provides the electrophysiological techniques to bear on classic problems of learning and performance in learning situations, while Chapter 2 describes the association between consciousness and attention. Chapter 3 considers the relations between functional demands and the development and maintenance of neural systems. This chapter also examines the effects upon microstructure and the various measures of neurochemical, neurophysiological, and behavioral growth. Chapter 4 presents certain dimensions of behavioral analysis, particularly in the continuing studies of self-stimulation and reward and punishment systems within the brain. Chapters 5 and 6 survey the mechanisms underlying motivation and emotional behavior. This book is of great value to neurophysiologists and psychologists.
