    Study Notes

    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    • Human needs are structured in a five-level pyramid: physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.

    Types of Learning

    • Behavioral learning focuses solely on observable behaviors and discounts mental processes.
    • Observational learning involves watching and imitating others' behaviors.
    • Classical conditioning involves involuntary responses and uses a conditioned stimulus. A neutral stimulus that does not elicit the desired response beforehand is called an unconditioned stimulus.

    Thorndike’s Law of Effect

    • Behavior is strengthened by positive outcomes or rewards, reinforcing the likelihood of repeating that behavior.

    Operant Conditioning

    • Positive reinforcement involves the presentation of a pleasant stimulus to strengthen a behavior.
    • Voluntary behaviors are explained through operant conditioning, where behaviors are learned based on their consequences.

    Motivation Elements

    • Daniel Goleman identifies four elements of motivation: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.

    Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation

    • Intrinsic motivation is driven by internal satisfaction, while extrinsic motivation relies on external rewards.

    Instinct Theory

    • According to Instinct Theory, motivations for sex, aggression, and achievement are rooted in biologically based instincts.

    Drive Reduction Theory

    • This theory suggests that unmet biological requirements lead to a drive to fulfill those needs.
    • Primary drives are closely related to basic biological necessities, such as hunger and thirst.

    Optimum Arousal Theory

    • Performance is optimal under moderate arousal levels.
    • Low arousal can negatively impact task performance, as neither too high nor too low arousal levels enhance efficiency.
