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.

Description
Test your understanding of the concept, nature, and types of learning, including associative learning (classical and operant conditioning) and cognitive learning. Explore classical conditioning, its basic terms, principles, and applications, as well as operant conditioning, the law of effect, basic experiments, and reinforcement.
