November 13: Review Test and Start Learning

1) Neuron Notes. You wrote a new question on learning.

2) Review Cumulative Test. We went over the tricky questions from the test and I gave you the what chapter each set of questions came from so you could see what you need to review. many of you did not do well on the last two chapters, 6 and 7. Most of you did better on the first chapters -- this is great! You are learning and it is staying with you! :) Cumulative tests are good to see what you know and you tend to know what is working for you and what isn't when you study now. If you need help with your study habits, see me at lunch! Don't struggle alone!

3) Learning Video. We love Philip Zimbardo! We watched a great review of classical and operant conditioning. Real footage of Pavlov's dogs and Skinner's laboratory with the pigeons! COOL!

4) Classical Conditioning Lecture. We took a few short notes.
UCS --> UCR
NS
CS --> CR

Assignments:

1) Finish chapter 8. Get through the Operant Conditioning section.

2) Test on Chapter 8 is next Wednesday. Not much to this chapter. Know the major types of learning.
