Judgment, Decision, and Choice: A Cognitive/Behavioral Synthesis
This book views both cognitive and behavioural theories and experiments in an historical and philosophical context. Current theory and practice are presented as part of an ongoing effort to understand voluntary human behaviour with roots as deep as those of western civilization. Cognitive and behavioural approaches are viewed as complementary (rather than competing) descriptions of judgement, decision and choice.

On Rachlin`s view of choice and decisions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The book makes a good analysis of the choice behavior, with special emphasis to the methodological and theoretical treatments given by the Skinnerian perspective, which shows the role of the enviroment on human and animal choices, and the Cognitive Psychology, which attempt to the internal processes of the decisions. With this book, Rachlin shows how these two approach have working about the same phenomena.
