Learning Concept & Theories

This document discusses different learning concepts and theories, including: - Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior resulting from experience. - There are four main types of learning: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, cognitive learning, and social learning. - Classical conditioning involves associating stimuli to influence behavior, like Pavlov's experiment conditioning dogs to salivate when a bell was rung. Operant conditioning uses consequences to modify behavior, as proposed by Skinner. Cognitive learning occurs through deliberate thinking and developing expectations. Social learning involves observing and imitating role models.

 change in behaviour .
 constitution by relatively permanent .
 Some form of practice, experience or
training .
Reinforcing experience .

• Overall process of acquiring ability to


respond adequately to a situation .

TYPES OF
LEARNING
COGNITIVE SOCIAL
LEARNING LEARNING
A. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
• Learning through association
• Manipulate stimuli to influence behaviour
• Ivan Pavlov experiment (20th
Century)1880 –
Before Conditioning
Unconditioned Stimulus (Meat)

Unconditioned Response (Salivation)

Conditioned Stimulus (Bell)

No Response
During Conditioning
Unconditioned Stimulus (Meat)
Conditioned Stimulus (Bell)

Unconditioned Response (Salivation)

After Conditioning
Conditioned Stimulus (Bell)

Unconditioned Stimulus (Meat)


B. OPERANT CONDITIONING
(BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION)

• [Link] – Voluntary/learned behaviour


• Learning through consequence of behaviour
• Behaviour produces effects
• Law of effect

PROCESS
 Stimulus
 Response
 Consequences
 Future Response
BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION

 Identification of critical behaviour

 Measurement of behaviour

 Functional analysis of behaviour

 Development of a change strategy

 Evaluation for performance improvement


C. COGNITIVE LEARNING
• Outcome of deliberate thinking
• Based on intuition, known facts
• Responding in a goal oriented manner
• Experiments by Tolman –
Rats run through complicated maze
towards their goal of food
Develop expectations at every choice
Expect certain cognitive cues in relation
to choice
Relationship between cues & expectancy
lead to goal
D. SOCIAL LEARNING
• Vicarous learning/modelling - Observation

• Integrates cognitive & operant approaches

• Imitation, discipline, self – control, inner

• desire to acquire knowledge/skills

• Irrespective of external rewards or


concequences

• Role Model – parents, teachers, manager, co-


worker, etc.
