Hi Ariehl!
I really enjoyed reading about your different experiences with the different learning theories. During my first two years here at UVic I was also a psychology major, and I agree with behaviorism theory being so familiar! I also found that behaviourism was most helpful to me (and many others) when it came to the material and its applications. It reminded me of the concept in psychology – classical condition and positive and negative reinforcements – which I’m sure you also know all about! Using myself as an example, when I first started university, I used to use the same learning style I used in high school, which did not yield me the best results on my tests. This negative reinforcement encouraged me to change my learning style, which then resulted in more desirable results, ultimately changing the way I study and teach after that.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading your blog post, and it was also very interesting to see how the various learning styles differ in the way you work with others. I look forward to reading your other responses!
