In this MRCPsych revision episode we explore key behavioural learning techniques used in psychology and behavioural therapy.

Topics include habituation, shaping, chaining and cueing. These principles explain how complex behaviours are learned, strengthened and modified through reinforcement and repetition.

These principles form an important bridge between learning theory and behavioural therapy interventions frequently examined in MRCPsych Part A questions.

This episode maps directly to paragraph 1.1.1 of the Royal College of Psychiatrists membership examination, MRCPsych Part A, syllabus.
