Schemes for Learning and Behaviour

This page gives access to the full text of my Ph.D. thesis in Adobe pdf format (and zipped postscript). Please note the filesizes if you are using a slow modem. 

You can obtain a free pdf file viewer from www.adobe.com

WinZip is a useful Windows shareware utility for zipping and unzipping files, try ghostview as a stand-alone viewing utility for postscript files on most platforms, or as an add-on to your browser.
