Unit 2: Learning

In this unit we will explore the ways in which people learn.  We will discuss the ways in which our environment determines our behavior, along with the processes of classical and operant conditioning.  Some questions we will explore are: what is the most effective way to teach someone a behavior?  Does reward or punishment work better?  How often does a behavior need to be reinforced to be learned?  What about the role of cognition in learning?  Finally, we will think about the ways in which our societies shape who we are.
