Study Notes
Eight Levels of Learning
- Gagné developed a hierarchy of eight levels of learning, where each level builds on the previous, requiring prior learning for success.
- The lower levels focus on behavioral aspects of learning, while the higher levels emphasize cognitive aspects.
1. Signal Learning
- This is essentially classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a response due to repeated pairing.
- Example: A red traffic light is associated with stopping a vehicle, and a doorbell ringing is associated with rushing to open the door.
- The "red light" and "doorbell ringing" are the conditioned stimuli, and the "stopping" and "rushing to open the door" are the conditioned responses.
2. Stimulus-response Learning
- Also known as operant conditioning, where a response is learned through reinforcement or punishment in response to a specific stimulus.
- Example: A teacher asking students to raise their hands, and the students responding by raising their hands immediately.
3. Chaining
- This involves connecting two or more previously learned stimulus-response bonds into a sequence.
- It's the process by which complex skills are acquired, such as riding a bicycle or playing an instrument.
- Example: A child seeing a doll, representing it as a baby, dressing it, applying makeup, and then feeding it.
4. Verbal Association
- The links between items being connected are verbal in nature.
- This learning is crucial for language development.
- Example: A child associating the word "ball" with its shape, "round ball," or color, "black and white ball."
5. Discrimination Learning
- The ability to differentiate and respond appropriately to similar stimuli.
- This involves developing the capacity to categorize objects based on colors, shapes, and other characteristics.
- Example: Identifying and calling each student by their correct name, or differentiating between different car makes and models while driving.
6. Concept Learning
- The ability to recognize common characteristics across different but related stimuli and categorize them.
- Forms the basis of generalization and classification.
- Example: Recognizing that starting a bicycle and a car both involve engaging the clutch, shifting gears, and then releasing the clutch and pressing the accelerator.
7. Rule Learning
- This involves learning the relationships between concepts and applying them in different situations.
- It depends on prior learning of lower-level rules.
- Example: Understanding that kicking a ball filled with air causes it to fly, roll, and revolve, and applying this rule in different scenarios.
8. Problem Solving
- The highest level of cognitive learning and involves inventing complex solutions using multiple rules to solve problems.
- It emphasizes the significance of "thinking" and using prior knowledge to solve novel problems.
- Example: Solving a complex puzzle using a combination of learned rules and strategies.
