About this Unit
Human Learning is concerned with the experimental analysis of human and animal behaviour and focuses upon associative learning, including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and social learning approaches. Definitions, assumptions, and basic phenomena associated with the study of learning are described and evaluated in terms of their ability to account for various aspects of human behaviour and experience. The practical work highlights important concepts introduced in the lecture program and focuses upon practical techniques of use in everyday situations.
The Bachelor of Science, Criminology and Psychological Studies is not accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). This unit is not equivalent to and cannot be granted as Advanced Standing against a corresponding Psychology unit in an APAC accredited Psychology sequence.
