The basis of social learning theory is simple: People learn by watching other people. We can learn from anyone—teachers, parents, siblings, peers, co-workers, YouTube influencers, athletes, and ...

Understanding basic learning theory allows the instructor to develop and present course materials in a manner that best meets the needs of the learner.

Physicists have developed a dynamical model of animal behavior that may explain some mysteries surrounding associative learning going back to Pavlov's dogs.

Their proposed model, outlined in a paper published in Nature Human Behavior, combines advanced machine learning algorithms with behavioral science theory.
