Discussions:
What is learning? What are the different approaches to the
study of learning? What is the relationship between learning
and psychology?
In learning and cognition, one of the major areas of
discussion is the impact of nature and nurture. What is the
concept of nature-nurture, and why is it important in the
study of learning and cognition?
What are the differences between conditioned and
unconditioned responses?
Provide at least 3 examples of each type of response. What
does it mean when a
behavior is classified as a conditioned response? What are
some examples of
conditioned emotional response that you have observed in
yourself or someone you know?
What behaviors can best be learned by using classical
conditioning methods?
Provide two “real-life” examples of classical conditioning in
your explanation.
What is operant conditioning? How do reinforcement,

5. punishment, and extinction apply to operant conditioning?
What behaviors can best be learned by using operant
conditioning methods? Explain your answer.
Thorndike and Skinner were close in agreement on a number
of issues including the control of behavior by stimuli and the
ineffectiveness of punishment. However, there were
differences in their approach to conditioning. Thorndike
believed in instrumental conditioning, and Skinner believed
in operant conditioning. Please compare and contrast
Thorndike’s and Skinner’s beliefs concerning conditioning.
What is verbal learning? What variables have an impact on
the acquisition and retention of “verbal” information?
What are the similarities and differences among free recall,
cued recall, and recognition memory? Please provide
examples in your explanation.
What are the concepts of working memory, short term
memory, and long term memory? Please include examples

How can memory be influenced by internal and external
factors? What strategies can be used to enhance memory?
Don't use artificial stimulants so you can stay up and study
longer. Caffeine and other stimulants can wreak havoc with
your sleep schedule and your health. Since sleep time is just
as important as study time, you need to be able to rest when
you can. Finding the right balance between studying and
sleeping is a better strategy for acing tests....
