Psychology: From basics to model

Abstract: I will give a brief introduction to a fundamental principal of Psychology, known as Pavlovian Classical Conditioning. Once the basics have been introduced, I will introduce the Rescorla-Wagner Model, which uses the formula ∆V_n = c(V_max - V_n), and explain it and its uses. I will also explain the faults this model contains and why it is considered a theory.
