The Science of Violent Behavior Development and Prevention Contributions of the Second World War Generation Edited by Richard E. Tremblay | Université de Montréal
This book describes the lives of 12 people born in Europe and North America during World War II, who became leading scholars on the development and prevention of human violence. The reader will discover very different life histories, whose paths crossed with time, creating an exceptional international network of scientists. • Describes the development, from birth to retirement, of twelve outstanding scientists who pioneered longitudinal and experimental research on the development and prevention of violent behaviour • Provides exceptional examples of the numerous developmental paths leading to excellence in research on human development • Outlines how scientists from different backgrounds, different disciplines, and different countries created a science of violence development and prevention • Summarises the next generations’ perspective on what steps will need to be taken to advance knowledge and initiate positive action December 2020 228 x 152 mm c.300pp 978-1-108-83481-0 Hardback £85.00 / US$110.00

An engaging introduction to learning and memory that encourages critical thinking while providing stimulating material on human research and how it can be applied. Examples include behavioral treatments of autism, recovered memory, and improving studying. The text concludes with the remarkable achievements of neural networks and deep learning. • New critical thinking questions interwoven throughout the text, encouraging students to evaluate their reactions to the material they’ve read and to relate the findings to their own lives • Streamlined presentation of the Rescorla-Wagner model to improve student comprehension of this classic theory • Includes the latest research on cutting-edge topics such as neural networks and deep learning, explaining how extraordinarily simple processes can give rise to extraordinarily sophisticated behaviors • Lively and engaging writing style to stimulate and engage students • Promotes critical thinking in students with in-depth discussions of the methodology of selected experiments, emphasising depth rather than breath
