1. Today we will focus on two basic models of learning, classical and operant conditioning. Specific topics include:
* Pavlov's classical conditioning and how it might be implemented in the nervous
system.
Thorndike's law of Effect and its evolution into Skinner's operant conditioning.
A model: How operant conditioning operates together with basic motivations as
an adaptive mechanism.
* Uses and abuses of operant conditioning.
* If there is time, we will consider the contributions of behaviorism against its
"overclaiming".
