About learning, conditioning and behaviour analysis notes
GoConqr OriginalLearning, Conditioning and Behaviour Analysis notes
These notes cover topics from classical conditioning to behaviour modification and observational learning. Learning Theories introduces classical conditioning, while Behaviour Modification discusses reinforcing desirable behaviour and extinguishing undesirable behaviour. The Bandura note looks at imitation after observing an aggressive act.
Using the notes to revise
Start with Learning Theories if you want an introduction to classical conditioning. For a comparison, look at Classical v Operant. The study questions in the collection offer another way to check what you can explain and recognise.
As you read, write down key terms and try to explain them without looking at the notes. Return to a passage when you need to check your explanation. When you are ready to practise recall in a different way, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page. Choose a note that matches the topic you are revising.
Frequently asked questions
Which note is a useful starting point for conditioning?
Learning Theories is a starting point for classical conditioning: it introduces stimuli and responses. If you want to look at the distinction between forms of conditioning afterwards, the page also lists Classical v Operant. You can return to either note as you revise.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study without an account. The notes were made by GoConqr users rather than GoConqr. A free account also lets you make your own notes, quizzes, mind maps and flashcards, and save your quiz scores.
What other learning topics do the notes cover?
The collection includes notes on observational learning, self-efficacy and approaches to gambling and smoking, alongside conditioning and behaviour modification. Bandura looks at imitation after observing an aggressive act. There are also study questions, a glossary and essay plans for different ways of reviewing the material.
