  1. Theories of Learning

  2. Behaviorism Cognitivism Social Learning Theory

  3. Behaviorism • Confined to observable and measurable behavior • Classical Conditioning - Pavlov • Operant Conditioning - Skinner Home

  4. S R • Behaviorism • Classical Conditioning – Pavlov • A stimulus is presented • in order to get a response: Home

  5. Behaviorism • Classical Conditioning – Pavlov Home

  6. Behaviorism • Operant Conditioning – Skinner • - is the use of consequences to modify the occurrence and form of behavior. • Reinforcement is a consequence that causes a behavior to occur with greater frequency. • Punishment is a consequence that causes a behavior to occur with less frequency. • Extinction is the lack of any consequence following a behavior. Home

  7. Behaviorism • Operant Conditioning – Skinner Home

  8. Behaviorism • Learning is defined by the outward expression of new behaviors • Focuses solely on observable behaviors • A biological basis for learning • Learning is context-independent • Classical & Operant Conditioning • Reflexes (Pavlov’s Dogs) • Feedback/Reinforcement (Skinner’s Rat Box) Home

  9. Cognitivism • Grew in response to Behaviorism • Knowledge is stored cognitively as symbols • Learning is the process of connecting symbols in a meaningful & memorable way • Studies focused on the mental processes that facilitate symbol connection Home

  10. Cognitive Learning Theory • Discovery Learning - Jerome Bruner • Meaningful Verbal Learning - David Ausubel Home

  11. Cognitive Learning Theory • Discovery Learning • -Bruner said anybody can learn anything at any age, provided it is stated in terms they can understand. Home

  12. Discovery Learning • Powerful Concepts • a. Transfer to many different situations • b. Only possible through Discovery Learning • c. Confront the learner with problems and help them find solutions. Do not present sequenced materials. Home

  13. Cognitive Learning Theory • Meaningful Verbal Learning • -Meaning is created through some form of representational equivalence between language (symbols) and mental context. Home

  14. Meaningful Verbal Learning Two processes are involved: 1. Reception, which is employed in meaningful verbal learning, and  2. Discovery, which is involved in concept formation and problem solving.  Home

  15. Social Learning Theory (SLT) Grew out of Cognitivism A. Bandura (1973) Learning takes place through observation and sensorial experiences Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery SLT is the basis of the movement against violence in media & video games Home

  16. Social Learning Theory (SLT) by Bandura Home

  17. Social Learning Theory (SLT) • Through identification, children come to believe they have the same characteristics as the model. • When they identify with a nurturant and competent model, children feel pleased and proud. • When they identify with an inadequate model, children feel unhappy and insecure.
