PSY 357 - Learning Theory

Credits: 3

The scientific study of learning over the last one hundred years has produced a sizable body of laws and principles describing how these processes work. This course investigates the ways in which organisms (human and non-human) change their behavior as a result of experience. The course provides the behaviorist perspective on such changes and therefore focuses on respondent and operant conditioning.
