Advanced Topics: General 585 - Junior Seminar:Stimulus Control:Learning and Remembering

Institution:

Allegheny College

Subject:

Description:

A stimulus-control approach to understanding how we learn new behavior, why we pay attention to particular events, how we remember, and why we forget. We examine in detail the empirical animal and human literature on learning, memory, and stimulus discrimination and generalization, as well as discuss several theoretical perspectives, including those arguing against a stimulus-control explanation. We also apply these explanatory frameworks to complex mental behavior such as categorization, concept formation, and relational learning, and discuss stimulus-control based interventions on clinical and other behavior problems. Prerequisites: Psychology 206, 207 and 150, 152, or 164.
