Description
Choosing Your Focus
Prior to beginning this assignment, please review all the required readings from the first three weeks as well as the articles you used in your Week 2 Discipline-Based Literature Review. During this course, you have been developing your knowledge in the area of learning and cognition. In the Week 2 assignment, there was special focus on six topics that influence a wide variety of disciplines in psychology and other fields. In the final week of this course, you will develop a Learning and Cognition Handbook based on these topics.
This week, you will write an extensive review and annotated bibliography on one of the six main course topics below:
- Traditional learning theories: Operant and classical conditioning
- Traditional learning theories: Behaviorism and social learning theory
- Attention and memory
- Decision-Making
- Language acquisition
- Organizational and lifelong learning
The topic you choose should be based on the area in which you would most like to develop your knowledge. Your choice should also consider your current interests in psychology and support your future career goals.
As you prepare this assignment, keep in mind that it is designed to assist you with beginning the process of drafting your Learning and Cognition Handbook, which is due in Week 6. It is recommended that your paper be checked in Grammarly and through Turnitin prior to submission.
Include the following components in your review:
Introduction: Explain your motivation focusing on your chosen topic and describe how this topic aligns with your future career goals.
Research: Research five Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources in the Ashford University Library focusing on your chosen topic, and provide an annotated bibliography. These articles must provide sufficient information so that they will support your work in the Learning and Cognition Handbook. (See the instructions in Week 6 for further clarification.) Provide a complete reference for each of the five articles. Beneath each reference, provide an annotation that explains the theoretical perspectives, historical trends, and/or empirical research within the article that describe and define your chosen construct.
Conclusion: Provide a concluding paragraph that synthesizes the cognitive learning principles and theories found within the articles as they relate to your chosen construct.

Annotated Bibliography: Classical and Operant Conditioning
Introduction
Conditioned learning is a process that is used to enforce the learning of new behaviors
among organisms. Operant conditioning is a learning behavior that explains the relationship of
behaviors on particular consequences and rewards while classical conditioning deals with the
process of learning which leads to the acquisition of new behaviors through association. This
paper seeks to analyze Ivan Pavlov’s classical conditioning and B. F. Skinner’s operant
conditioning.

conditioning of autobiographical memory retrieval. Memory, 22(3), 171-183.
The authors delve into the essence of functional avoidance as the main mechanism in
autobiographical avoidance. The mechanism is a learned cognitive avoidance technique
which is centered on the tenets of operant conditioning. The results of the research reveal
that, although autobiographical memory retrieval may indeed be a result of operant
