Learning allows our experiences to shape what we know, what we can do and how we interact with our environments. This course addresses the fundamental concepts and more important research findings related to contemporary theories of associative learning in animals and humans. It examines the application of such fundamental research to issues such as the neural substrates of behaviour, drug use, and anxiety disorders. It is designed to foster skills in critical thinking, experimental design and reading primary sources in this area.
