Talks with Trent

This episode overviews what motivation is, several theories of motivation, major motivations of humans, and motivational conflicts. I recommend trying to make connections to your own life throughout this episode— may even consider using the motivations of taking this class to help explain the different motivation theories.

This episode is short! Goes through physical, biological, cognitive, & social changes during adolescence and then begins with changes during adulthood and aging.

This episode goes through physical development in terms of prenatal develop & infancy, social development theories of Erikson, Ainsworth, Baumrind, Harlow, and Lorenz, and last cognitive development through schema assimilation, schema accommodation, Piaget's Stages, and finally Vygotsky's theories including the Zone of Proximal Development

This episode discusses language structure (phonemes, morphemes, grammar, semantics, and syntax) and then language acquisition (theories and the process of acquiring language)

Focus on defining intelligence (PS it's hard), intelligence theories, measuring intelligence with standardization, reliability, validity.

Focus on why we forget- encoding failure, storage decay, and retrieval failure. Then move into other reasons for forgetting/misremembering information: negative interference/transfer, amnesia, misinformation effect & Elizabeth Loftis

Focus on Encoding, Storage, and Retrieval of memories

This episode covers different factors to learning. Today, psychologists view learning as more than just a reaction/response to stimuli. Humans and animals are more complex—factors that affect learning stem from biological variables, to cognition, to social variables. This episode will also go into detail about Observational Learning, a type of cognitive learning, and go into the Bobo Doll Experiment.

This episode covers the foundations and definitions of operant conditioning. It also includes details on reinforcement and punishment as alert as schedules of reinforcement. Watching this episode with your notes and presentation will be helpful.

This episode is all about the introduction to LEARNING, it's definition, Non-Associative Learning (short and sweet), and then most of its focus is on Classical Conditioning with Pavlov and John Watson (poor Little Albert...).
