PSY 320 Psychology of Learning

The course introduces students to the history, methods, and findings in the areas of habituation, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, declarative memory and procedural learning. We will discuss the neural basis of these changes and learn the anatomical circuits involved. Finally, we will also discuss how these processes influence pathological behavior as well as how they alter our daily lives.
