Reviews

"In sum, this book is important for neuropsychologists and psychologists as well as for any student or scholar interested in associative learning. The chapters are well written, adequately illustrated, and fully referenced. In addition to having access to the important body of knowledge produced by Thompson's past collaborators, the reader will have a chance to pry into some of the collegial interactions that took place while this outstanding science was in the making."
—Neural Networks"I found two different books in Model Systems and the Neurobiology of Associative Learning, both equally important and equally intriguing. (The) explicit book is important for neurophysiologists and psychologists as well for anybody interested in associative learning in animals and humans. The chapters are written in a detailed but accessible manner, adequately illustrated and fully referenced. The second, 'implicit book' comprises a series of anecdotes about the interactions between Thompson and the authors of the chapters....wonderful celebration of a scientific life."
