Additional description
This course is about how organisms learn - how behavior is acquired, maintained and changed as a result of our experiences. Virtually all of our behavior, it may be argued, is affected by prior experience, so learning is necessarily a broad topic. Our focus will be on general principles of behavior that apply across a variety of species (human and nonhuman).
