Abstract

This chapter reviews how learning theory might help explain moral judgment. Recent work has attempted to assign aspects of moral judgment to developmental processes of various different kinds: habit learning, affective attunement, and statistical learning. The chapter describes each of these approaches and argues that each has significant limitations in explaining moral judgment.
