After you have read about the theories of
learning, reflect on how you learned as a child. What methods did your parents
use to teach you how to act? Was it through classical conditioning? What about
operant conditioning and social learning theory? Which theory had the biggest
impact? Why? Give an example and state how it has impacted the person you are
today.Memory and
Intelligence (graded)
We all seem to want a good memory (What are my
coworkers names? Where did I leave my computer? What day was I supposed to
submit that proposal to my boss?). These might be typical memory issues. After
reading about memory and intelligence, what is your most valuable tip for the
class in improving your ability to remember things?
