Year 12 ATAR Psychology visit Zoo

Topic Learning
Date May 22, 2025

The Year 12 ATAR Psychology class recently were involved in an excursion to the Perth Zoo to explore how theories of learning such as classical conditioning, operant conditioning, observational learning and systematic desensitisation are applied to the care and management of Zoo animals.

They took part in a formal presentation by Zoo keepers, and even experienced a live encounter with a snake!
