Dot-Point 1: Behaviourist Approaches to Learning Including Classical and Operant Conditioning
“Behaviourist approaches to learning, as illustrated by classical conditioning as a three-phase process that results in the involuntary association between a neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned response, and operant conditioning as a three-phase process (antecedent, behaviour and consequence) involving reinforcement (positive and negative) and punishment (positive and negative)” - (VCAA Study Design)

Dot-Point 7: Memory Strategies in Written and Oral Cultures
