Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular task, you are being asked to present the contributions of major theorists in terms of ‘theories of learning’ field. I suggest using this outline:

1. Theories of learning – what are they about? 100 words
2. Classical Conditioning theorists – 100 words
3. Operant Conditioning theorists – 100 words
4. Neobehaviorism theorists – 100 words

This should yield 400 words which should cover what you need. Good luck with your studies. Just let me know via the feedback section if you need further clarification. You can use the listed resources to further explore the topic.

Sincerely,
