 Behavioristic theory

Ivan Pavlov – a Russian pioneer & John B. Watson of

USA attributed learning to the association between
stimulus & response.

Classical Conditioning : Pavlov’s experiment using

dogs with meat powder & bell.
This experiment was a major breakthrough that had a
lasting impact on understanding of learning. However
Skinner says, ”behaviour is a function of
consequences not the classical conditioning eliciting
stimuli”.
Operant Conditioning : It is concerned primarily
with learning that occurs as a consequence of
behaviour.
 Concept Learning

Concepts are categories of stimuli that

have certain features in common.

The shapes on the left are all members

of a conceptual category: rectangle.
Their common features are (1) 4 lines;
(2) opposite lines parallel; (3) lines
connected at ends; (4) lines form 4
right angles.
The fact that they are different colors
and sizes and have different
orientations is irrelevant. Colour, size,
and orientation are not defining
features of the concept.
 Learning
Curve
In mathematics, a curve consists
of the points through which a
continuously moving point
passes.
The "learning curve" was first described by the 19th Century
German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus according to the
difficulty of memorizing varying numbers of verbal stimuli.

The learning curve effect states that the more times a task
has been performed, the less time will be required on each
subsequent iteration. This relationship was probably first
quantified in 1936 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in the
United States, where it was determined that every time total
aircraft production doubled, the required labour time
decreased by 10 to 15 percent.
 curve effect is
broader in scope
than the learning
curve effect
encompassing far
more than just
labour time. It
states that the
more often a task
is performed the
lower will be the
cost of doing it.
The task can be
the production of
any good or
service. Each time
cumulative volume
doubles, value
added costs
(including
administration,
marketing,
distribution, and
manufacturing)
fall by a constant
 The real
equation
EN = KN^S
where
EN = effort per unit of production (i.e., manhours) to
produce the Nth unit.
K = constant, which is the effort to produce the first
unit.
s = slope constant, which is negative since the
effort per unit decreases with production.

The above relationship will plot as a straight line on

log-log paper.
Take the logarithms of both sides,
log EN = s x log N + log K
which is the equation of a straight line
Y = sX + b
