LEARNING

DEFINITION

• What you mean learning?

• Learning is “a process that leads to change, which occurs
as a result of experience and increases the potential for
improved performance and future learning” (Ambrose et
al, 2010, p. 3). The change in the learner may happen at
the level of knowledge, attitude or behavior.
TYPE OF LEARNING
 CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

• Classical conditioning is a behaviorist theory of learning.

• It posits that when a naturally occurring stimulus and an
environmental stimulus are repeatedly paired, the
environmental stimulus will eventually elicit a similar
response to the natural stimulus.
• The most famous studies associated with classical
conditioning are Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov’s
experiments with dogs.
 OPERANT CONDITIONING

• Operant conditioning, sometimes referred to as

instrumental conditioning, is a method of learning that
employs rewards and punishments for behavior.
• Through operant conditioning, an association is made
between a behavior and a consequence (whether
negative or positive) for that behavior
 OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING

• Observational learning is the process of learning by

watching the behaviors of others.
• The targeted behavior is watched, memorized, and then
mimicked.
• Also known as shaping and modeling, observational
learning is most common in children as they imitate
behaviors of adults.
