MCAT Psych/Soc Masterclass: Learning & Conditioning I Jack Westin MCAT Podcast

Level up your MCAT Psych/Soc with the part 2 of masterclass on learning & conditioning, the way AAMC now tests it. Mike & Molly cover the exact strategies to read passages like CARS, not a terms quiz.

What you’ll learn

Classical conditioning: US/UR, CS/CR, generalization, discrimination, extinction & spontaneous recovery

Operant conditioning: reinforcement vs punishment, positive vs negative (with real-life examples)

Reinforcement schedules: fixed/variable × ratio/interval (why VR resists extinction)

Observational learning: Bobo doll, mirror neurons, media effects

Non-associative learning: habituation, sensitization, dishabituation, desensitization
