Study Notes

Learning Theories

  • There are four main learning theories: Classical Conditioning Theory, Trial and Error Theory, Operant Conditioning Theory, and Gestalt Theory of Learning.

Classical Conditioning Theory

  • Developed by Ivan Pavlov
  • A learning process that occurs through associations between environmental stimuli and naturally occurring stimuli
  • Learning involves creating a connection between a neutral stimulus (e.g. bell ringing) and an unconditioned stimulus (e.g. food) to elicit an unconditioned response (e.g. salivation)

Trial and Error Theory

  • Developed by Edward Thorndike
  • Learning takes place through a process of approximation and correction
  • "Try is only the way to learn something" - the process of learning involves trial and error to achieve a desired outcome

Operant Conditioning Theory

  • A method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior
  • Focuses on the causes of an action and its consequences to understand behavior
  • Experimental studies involve the use of puzzle-boxes and Skinner boxes to observe behavior

Experimental Studies

  • Pavlov's experiment: associating bell ringing with food to elicit salivation in dogs
  • Thorndike's cat experiment: using a puzzle-box to study problem-solving behavior in cats
  • Skinner box experiment: observing behavior in response to rewards and punishments
