Apparently, thesedistinct behavior patterns are acquired andtransmitted through observational learning(Whiten, 2009). For example, after an individualchimp learned a new food-gatheringtechnique, the rest of its group acquiredthe new skill within a few days. In turn, thenewly acquired skill spread to other chimpanzeegroups who could observe the newbehavior (Whiten & others, 2007). Thesechimps in the Edinburgh Zoo are learninghow to use a tool to extract food – one ofthe tasks that Andrew Whiten (2009) hasused to study observational learning andthe development of unique behavioral traditionsamong chimpanzee tribes.Appendix A, Statistics: Understanding Data• Expanded discussion of inferential statistics includes Type I error andType II errorAppendix B, Industrial/Organizational Psychology• Fully revised and updated• New co-author (Claudia Cochran, El Paso Community College) brings a freshperspective• Expanded discussion of theories of leadership, workforce diversity, work-lifebalance, and job satisfaction• Two new boxes present high-interest, topical themesAppendix C, APA Goals and Outcomes• New to this editionxxvii
