Maybe the world appears to you as nothing but randomly appearing stimuli (i.e., events you experience) and responses (i.e., your own behaviors). But it isn%27;t, so you can figure out how to prepare yourself for whatever is going to happen next. Learning is about the ways in which you adapt to non-random, predictable relationships among stimuli and responses. 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.

About this course
Those taking (or preparing to take) courses in Introductory Psychology, Learning and Memory, or related topics.
Anyone interested in a deeper understanding of classical conditioning (e.g., Pavlov’s dogs) and operant conditioning (e.g., reinforcement and punishment).
People interested in learning more about why people do what they do.
Psychology is an academic and applied science involving the scientific study of mental functions and behaviour of human beings. It is the study of human emotions, personality and human relationships. This knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activities, including issues related to everyday life (e.g. family, education, and employment) and the treatment of mental health problems. Psychology related subspecialties include areas as human development, sports, health, industry, media, and law. A psychologist treats by changing the behavioural patterns of the patients without medication through counseling, and help people by bringing about changes in their thought processes, thus improving their quality of life.
Willingness to widen your knowledge about Psychology.
Ability to develop the professional skills a psychologist requires.
A good understanding of English.
