Study Notes
Reinforcement Theory
- Positive reinforcement involves pleasurable outcomes and rewards.
- Negative reinforcement involves unpleasant outcomes.
- Behavioral modification training uses reinforcement theory.
Social Learning Theory
- Learning occurs by observing credible and knowledgeable models.
- Behaviors that are reinforced or rewarded tend to be repeated.
- Learning is influenced by self-efficacy.
Self-Efficacy
- Self-efficacy is a personal judgment about one's ability to learn or acquire skills.
- Self-efficacy can be improved by verbal persuasion, logical verification, observations from others, and past accomplishments.
Four Processes in Social Learning
- Attention
- Retention
- Motor reproduction (practice)
- Motivational processes
Needs Theories
- Needs represent deficiencies a person experiences.
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs describes these deficiencies.
Expectancy Theory
- A person's behavior is based on three factors:
- Expectancy: the link between trying to perform and actually performing.
- Instrumentality: the belief that performing a behavior is associated with a particular outcome.
- Valence: the value a person places on an outcome (e.g., importance of performing better on a job).
Goal-Setting Theory
- SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound.
- Management by objectives (MBO) involves setting objectives and evaluating performance periodically.
Information Processing Theory
- Processes describe how training content is learned and retained.
Adult Learning Theory (Malcolm Knowles)
- Adults need to understand why they are learning.
- Adults prefer self-directed learning.
- Adults bring diverse experiences to learning.
- Adults are motivated to learn.
Competency-Based Training
- Competency-based training focuses on specific skills or competencies.
