Explore how classical and operant conditioning influence learning in this comprehensive Psychology of Learning course, perfect for AP and CLEP test preparations.
This course dives into how we learn by connecting stimuli to our responses, focusing on classical and operant conditioning. You’ll see how these concepts play out in everyday life and gain a fresh perspective on the science of learning.
It's a world full of "stimuli" and "responses". How do we make connections among them? How do we...learn?
You could see the world as nothing but randomly appearing stimuli (i.e., events you experience) and responses (i.e., your own behaviors), but you don't. How do you learn that one stimulus is associated with another (classical conditioning)? How do you learn that your own behavior can make something in your environment change (operant conditioning)? And how do classical and operant conditioning change the way you behave? As it turns out, these two forms of learning--and what they tell you about the predictability of your world--can change your behavior in surprising ways.
These videos are the ideal study tool for AP Psychology courses, CLEP Psychology test preparation, and any college-level Psychology of Learning course.

Very informative.
yes
It is very slow and not that exciting.. here is hoping it gets better
Well made video, and the parts I already knew well I was able to fast-forward through with the video tools, which was very welcoming to my time.
The amount of information about the presented subject is amazing. Sharps teen knows what he's talking about and is able to talk about it in the way you would get from a college level course. The main issues I had with this course are the lack of audio management and quality put into the videos. The videos were mere slideshows with entry level effects and lots of down periods where you as the student would be just sitting and staring at a non-mvoinf slideshow. Secondly the audio shifted drastically at many different intervals during this course. Sometimes to the point of clipping and making me remove my headphones as one video was thrice as loud as the next.
I signed up for this course because I was taking Intro Psych at my school and was having trouble figuring out the differences between classical and operant conditioning. Watching the first few of these videos cleared that up. I watched most of the rest of the videos just because they were interesting (and sometimes pretty funny). I like that they weren’t just videotapes of some guy’s lectures (even though they were obviously made for an actual class), but explained things using lots of visual illustrations, like movie and t.v. clips. So much easier to understand than the textbook we had in Intro. Great stuff!
