PSY3013

Course Descriptions

The course in Theories of Learning attempts to integrate the cognitive, emotional and environmental experiences which form the basis of knowledge, skills and values that determine the individual’s view of the world. Theories of learning attempt to explain how these learning events occur and what is happening when people learn. This is what differentiates humans from animals, we know it!! A fundamental question surrounding this fact is how do we know? This is answered by exploring the bases of learning. The course will also provide an introduction to some of the most informative and influential psychological thinking of the twentieth century which explored the nature of learning. The course is designed to expose the student to important empirical and practical applications of learning. We will study the variables related to learning with the goal of understanding the principles of human development, educational achievements and therapeutic changes
