With Motivation and Emotions now out of the way, this begins our examination of how and why we Learn.
The first part of the week focuses on what Classical Conditioning is all about. This will be done through lecture notes (found below), the Crash Course episode "How To Train A Brain" (link and worksheet also below for extra credit), and additional worksheets which will be handed out, but can also be found below as part of the Learning Packet.
By the end of the week, we will start the transition over to Operant Conditioning. In fact, Friday will be a PsychSIm called .... Operant Conditioning. Handouts will be provided. Since PsychSims are no longer online, this activity will be done together as a class. I also may introduce you to an older video series called "Discovering Psychology." This is a series hosted by Stanford professor Philip Zimbardo.
Reminder -- The "Inside Out" activity is due by Tuesday, 2/25. Also, any extra credit from last week is also due by week's end.
