Please analyze briefly, the functionalistic and associationistic theories associated with my selected theorists. In your layout or bullets, address the following items:
1. Discuss the contributions of selected theorists made to the field of learning and cognition.
2. Describe the models associated with selected theorists.
3. Describe the major theoretical concepts associated with the models.
4. Analyze the modern-day relevancy of the models, such as in media advertisements or education
I have some research info on Thorndike. He was a leader of the functionalist movement interested in studying how individuals adapted to their environments and how this knowledge could be applied to improve the human condition and how the mind serves to adapt the individual to the environment.
I have 2 references already, if you can provide more, I will greatly appreciates it, that way I can review the research further.
