Hello, I'm Sam Smith.

So this lecture is going to cover a bunch of different topics related to learning.

So what I'm going to do first is go through different parts of the brain that are associated

with learning and talk about how these all work together to store bits of information and

process them and kind of what takes place during learning.

And this will include a little bit of talk on memory.

And then I'm going to talk about different types of learning and learning. And this will include a little bit of talk on memory. And then I'm going to talk about different types of learning in terms of latent learning, observational learning, which are

types of non-associative learning. And then lastly, I'll talk about operant and classical conditioning,

which are types of associative learning.

And this kind of sounds like two different topics, but it's kind of, they're tied to the same

thing. They're both tied to learning. And you will see this material on one out of the four

sections. That will be the psych-kesoche section of the MCAT.

And I promise that you'll see something on conditioning.

There would be some kind of either classical conditioning, operating conditioning,

or probably both, to be honest.

That's a huge topic on the MCAT.
