This overview of human learning will introduce the student to the methodologies and topics in the field. The use of research will be discussed in the theories of Behaviorism, Cognitive Development, and Social Cognition. A sample of early and current theorists, who have studied learning in each of these categories, will be presented. An under-standing of the behavior and thinking of the self and others will be an effective tool for intrapersonal and interpersonal Christian growth.
Tests Apply the theoretical concepts in human lives.
