As always, Malott's tone and writing style is very engaging. The storytelling examples are always very good for flushing out difficult concepts. My students love this text in general because of his unique approach. - Lawrence Venuk, Naugatuck Valley Community College

It is by far the most user friendly text on this topic I have seen. It introduces new material in a understandable, gradual manner [with] Realistic case studies. - Sherman Sowby , Brigham Young University

Outstanding mastery and competence of every level of behavior analysis, from experimental, to applied, to theoretical. Dick Malott is the heir apparent to B. F. Skinner today. - David Feeney, Strayer University
