This week we have examined different Learning Theories, including Pavlov's classical conditioning and Skinner’s operant conditioning, Kohler’s cognitive learning, and Bandura’s observational learning. You will now have an opportunity to apply what you have learned about these theories.

Using a word processor, complete the following:

Choose one of the learning theories and discuss which one you believe you have used the most in your daily life, whether it is learning as a student or in everyday activities, such as cooking, car mechanics, etc.
•Provide at least three personal examples of how you have applied this theory in your personal learning style.
•Which of the theories would you use in your role as a student, parent, mentor, or caregiver? ◦Provide one example of how you would practice the theory.



Your assignment should be a minimum of one to two well-composed paragraphs. Each paragraph should include 5-7 insightful sentences.

Use APA format in this document, following these guidelines:
•Your paragraphs should be double-spaced
•Times New Roman, 12pt font
•Margins should be set at 1 inch on all sides.


Your textbook is an excellent resource for citations. However, you may also use resources available in our library http://everest.campusguides.com/onlineresources

In text citations should be provided, even when using our text. For example: (Nevid, 2013)

(Please note, the use of research documents must remain at an academic or scholarly level. The use of websites such as Wikipedia or Ask.com are not credible sources because they are not necessarily written by academic experts.)

For citation guidelines, please refer to the table in the APA Style section of the syllabus.
