Pages: 4This lecture describes models of how our memory works (Atkinson Shifron Model, Dual Track Processing, and Automatic Processing), and leads into an emphasis on Encoding (next lecture will explore Storage and Retrieval on a deeper level)
-
Pages: 4In this lecture we discuss punishment (negative and positive), and the effect of biolgy on learning and cognition. We also learn about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, observational learning, and applications of observational learning
