Focus Questions pp.218-227
Cognitive learning is often equated to the idea of an "aha" moment.
What is the difference between cognitive learning and operant and classical conditioning?
Summarize Kohler's research and how Sultan demonstrated insight learning.
-Here is a video that we will watch in class tomorrow that shows cognitive (insight) learning, similar to Sultan's learning:
Explain Toman's experiments with rats and mazes. (cognitive maps)
Observational (Social) Learning
Discuss the significance Bandura's BoBo doll study. Here is the video we will watch in class tomorrow:
Understand the implications of observational learning, especially when it is aggressive. (Think violent video games and movies.)
Although much of the reading focused on aggressive observational learning, understand that many positive behaviors are learned in this same way.
------------
Define long-term potentiation.
*Spend the time to understand table 6.3 on p. 224.
Review the three bullet points on p.227. Understand that we are still learning about learning.

Grades
Grades are due at 5pm tomorrow, but I don't think you'll be able to access PowerSchool until after Report Card Pick Up. Please ask your advisor if you would like to see your final grade in psychology. I will be entering all test corrections and essay revisions into the gradebook by tomorrow afternoon.
