How can you use what you know about the history of psychology and the science behind psychology to create your learning strategy?

After researching Pavlov's conditioning experiments, I realized how much the experiments led us to find out how we learn. In addition, the science behind learning by conditioning shows that it is very effective. For instance, our memory systems have the ability to retain information that we find important. Since Pavlov included food, which causes more senses to be activated in the learning process, the experiments worked. In our final project, we can incorporate this by giving rewards for studying. Another way that we could incorporate this information into our final project would be to teach a definition by using a specific sound, smell, or feeling.
