Section outline

  • Continuing our look at the ways we learn, we'll begin this week with an in-class project of sorts. Below, you will find the instructions to make a "Little Book of Learning." (No need to print it out, because each of you will get one.) Each page of the book will be filled with everything related to Classical Conditioning, Operant Conditioning, Social Learning, and more. If you complete the assignment completely, not only will you receive a lot of points (50) for your effort, but the book then becomes the one and only test aid to be used next week when you take The Learning Test.

    Wednesday there is no instruction due to the SAT.

    By the end of the week, we will be moving into the realm of Social-Cognitive Learning. Aside from a few supplemental examples (the Crash Course episode "The Bobo Beatdown" being one), each of you will be expected to read pp 208-215 from the text. As you read, please  1) extract 20 facts from text; and then 2) create a cognitive map of your neighborhood following the directions on page 215.

    EXTRA CREDIT -- Below you may find the worksheet for "The Bobo Beatdown" which you can fill in for extra points.
