AP Psychology – Curricular Requirement 6: Learning (7-9 %)
CR 6 – Evidence of Curricular Requirement: This course provides instruction in learning.
Objectives

Distinguish general differences between principles of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and
observational learning (e.g., contingencies).

Describe basic classical conditioning phenomena, such as acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery,
generalization, discrimination, and higher-order learning.

Predict the effects of operant conditioning (e.g., positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment).

Predict how practice, schedules of reinforcement, and motivation will influence quality of learning. • Interpret
graphs that exhibit the results of learning experiments.

Provide examples of how biological constraints create learning predispositions.

Describe the essential characteristics of insight learning, latent learning, and social learning.

Apply learning principles to explain emotional learning, taste aversion, superstitious behavior, and learned
helplessness.

Suggest how behavior modification, biofeedback, coping strategies, and self-control can be used to address
behavioral problems.
