Study Notes
Nature of Learning
- Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge.
Types of Learning
- Classical Conditioning involves the concepts of Acquisition, Extinction, and Generalization.
- Cognitive Mapping involves the concept of Cognitive map.
History of Learning
- Hermann Ebbinghaus was the first person to describe the learning curve.
Laws of Learning
- The Law of Effect pertains to the consequence of a behavior.
Learning Curve
- The "Plateau" is the term used to describe a horizontal stretch indicative of apparent progress according to Skinner.
- The "Log" or "Exponential" phase is the first stage of the learning curve.
- The "Deceleration" phase is the type of learning curve where the rate of progress decreases noticeably as time goes on.
- A "Concave" or "Positively Accelerated" curve depicts rapid progress at the beginning of the learning process.
- The "S-Shaped" curve is a type of learning curve that involves the combination of the first two concave and convex curves.
Learning Concepts
- Learning involves a change in behavior or knowledge due to experience.
- Learning is not directly observable, but its effects on behavior are.
- Learning is a permanent change in behavior or knowledge.
