Some videos I found useful

I found a few videos I would like to share. 

First, I find it useful to know the historical background of theory and from whence it derived.  This video is a short information clip that provides an overview of the influences on behaviorist theory.

The most useful video I found described different types of learning theories.  It helped me better understand behaviorism when compared to other theories such as cognitivism and constructivism.  I enjoyed the presentation and music as well.

The last video shows examples of operant conditioning performed by Professor Armstrong and his wife.  Humorous short skits end with a quiz question regarding operant conditioning, punishment, and reinforcement.
