For ten days, a number of neuroscientists met at Reisensburg to attend a series of lectures and discussions, an Institute, on animal learning. The students were drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, including anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, physiol ogy and zoology. It is probably true to say that many of them had at best a sketchy knowledge about the learning behavior of animals, about the conditions which are necessary for learning to take place and about the theories that psychologists have constructed about the learning processes.

Annotation Carroll (psychology and neuroscience, U. of Minnesota) and Overmier (psychology, U. of Minnesota) present 22 essays promoting the use of animal behavior research as an important window into the psychological study of human problems such as anxiety, stress, aggression, dementia, drug abuse, and depression. After an introduction that discusses the benefits, uses, and ethics of the use of laboratory research with animals, the contributions explore specific studies that may have contributed to the understanding of human behavior. In addition to the problems mentioned above, issues explored include, sleep, injury and pain, learning, memory, and cognition. Finally, a fuller exploration of the ethics of using animals in human behavioral research is included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
