psychology and learning Essay
There are many different kinds of ways that people and animals learn. People can adjust the way they learn to the different situations in which they

imitates what they have just observed. Motivation–reinforcement can come in various ways. External reinforcement, through praise for doing
something well, self–reinforcement, through the
