discussion 2
In this unit, you are examining how people learn information, as
well as how they remember it. Behaviorism is a school of thought
in psychology that attempts to explain learning through different
types of associations and conditioning. Think about how this type
of learning occurs in your own life, as well as your own memory
processes.
Choose one of the forms of learning that you read about in your
text: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, or observational
learning. Give a specific example of how this form of learning goes
on in your life or the life of someone you know.
Explain how this example relates to this style of learning, with
regards to associations (classical conditioning), shaping (operant
conditioning), or reasons for social imitation (observational
learning).
