Homework: 339-347

Circle:  If you had the chance to have the neurolink installed, would you?  If you could get rid of a bad/sad/disappointing memory would you and why?

What if you could get ride of it?

New Unit: Cognition:Memory-the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information.

Introduce Memory: "If you lose the ability to recall your old memories then you have no life. You might as well be a rutabaga or a cabbage." 

What perspective??? all forms of knowing and awareness, such as perceiving, conceiving, remembering, reasoning, judging, imagining, and problem solving.

Homework Due Thursday: Module 30
Psychological Definition of Learning: A relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience. 

Definition of Classical Conditioning: We learn to associate two stimuli and thus to anticipate events.

Definition of Operant Conditioning: Organisms associate their own actions with consequences.  Actions followed by reinforcers increase; those followed by punishment often decrease.

Questions:
What are some basic forms of learning?
What is classical conditioning, and how did Pavlov’s work influence behaviorism?
In classical conditioning, what are the processes of acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination?
Why is Pavlov’s work important?
What is operant conditioning, and how does it differ from classical conditioning?
What are the basic types of reinforcers?
How do different reinforcement schedules affect behavior?
How does punishment affect behavior?
Do cognitive processes and biological constraints affect operant conditioning?
