This course examines major theories of learning relevant to understanding how learning results in memory. Classical and operant conditioning are compared and contrasted, with special emphasis placed on understanding positive and negative reinforcement and punishment schedules. Cognitive learning, observational learning, learning style preferences and techniques, as well as motivation, stages of memory, and learning across the life span are also explored.  During the course, students will consider relevant research on traditional and contemporary issues in learning, with an emphasis placed on human learning and memory.
