PSYC 501 - Motivation and Learning


An examination of major theories and issues is covered from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Stress is put on the scientific, experimental approach to understanding the nature of learning and motivation. Detailed analysis of classical and instrumental conditioning, reinforcement theory, punishment, and the contributions of Skinner, Hull, and Tolman, are but a few areas investigated.
