PSYC 310 : LEARNING AND MEMORY (R)

An in-depth look at how both humans and animals learn and retain information. Behaviorist and cognitive approaches will be covered, including classical and operant conditioning, working memory, semantic and episodic memory, memory for skills and actions, as well as forgetting. Attention will also be paid to emotional and social influences on memory, and how memories change across the lifespan. Focus is given to empirical articles and communication of empirical findings.
