The Psychology of Learning
The Psychology of Learning
It's a world full of "stimuli" and "responses". How do we make connections among them? How do we...learn?
Provides a framework for understanding concepts, phenomena, and theories from the field of learning
Illustrates the field's key ideas using film clips and other popular media
Explains important topics rarely covered at length in Learning textbooks
Description
You could see the world as nothing but randomly appearing stimuli (i.e., events you experience) and responses (i.e., your own behaviors), but you don't. How do you learn that one stimulus is associated with another (classical conditioning)? How do you learn that your own behavior can make something in your environment change (operant conditioning)? And how do classical and operant conditioning change the way you behave? As it turns out, these two forms of learning--and what they tell you about the predictability of your world--can change your behavior in surprising ways.
These videos are the ideal study tool for AP Psychology courses, CLEP Psychology test preparation, and any college-level Psychology of Learning course.
