3 Usefulness of learning
To understand how to do work To develop concept and thought To change attitudes and behavior To learn or transfer culture For intelligent and creativity You cannot learn from formal education classes only. Do you agree Tng jsOsu;a wdldrhg muKla bf.kSu l, fkdyel Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

4 Learning and organizational issues
Organizations spent lot of money on training. Can organizations satisfy with the training outcome. Is there adequate changes in employees behavior? Organizations expect some particular behavior from employees. But there are many issues. Organizations take many actions to change employee behavior as they expected. But what is the result can they happy? All problems are due to lack of learning? bf.Ksula isoqfkdjqk l, mqyqKqj widra:l fjs

15 Classical conditioning theory
Kind of learning in which a previously neutral stimulus acquire the power to elicit a response after repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus that ordinarily elicits a particular response l,ska wiusnkaaOs; W;af;aclhla idudkH W;af;aclhla iu. ld,hla iusnkaOlsrsfuka miqj idudkH W;af;aclhg ,ndoqka m%;spdrhu Bg ,nd.ekSug Yla;shla ,nd.ekSu Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

16 Pavlov’s Experiments on Salivation
S R Unconditioned Stimulus (US) food powder Unconditioned Response (UR) salivation Conditioned Stimulus (CS) beat of a metronome (neutral stimulus) Conditioned Response (CR) salivation to the sound Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

17 Generalization The tendency to transfer the conditioned response to stimulus that is similar but not identical to the one originally paired with the unconditioned stimulus l,ska iusnkaO l, W;af;aclhu fkdjqk;a Bg iudk W;af;aclhlg ;;ajdfrdamkh l, m%;spdrh ,noSfus keushdj We learn to generalize idudkHlrkh lsrsug bf.Ksu Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

18 Discrimination Learning to respond differently to two similar (but not identical) stimulus. iudk jqj;a kshus; W;a;f;aclhka follg fjkia wdldrfhka m%;spdr oelajSug bf.Ksu We learn to discriminate fjkiaj y|qkd.ekSug bf.Ksu Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

19 Operant conditioning theory
Type of learning in which the consequences of a behavior determine whether or not the behavior will be repeat. lsishus yeisrsulg ,efnk m%;sM,h tu yeisrsu kej; lrkafkao hkak ;SrKh lrhs R S Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

20 Remember Some of our behaviors are due to conditioning
wmf.a iuyr yeisrsus ;;ajdfrdamkh l, yeisrsush

21 Thorndike's law of effect and law of exercise
When a outcome of a particular behavior is desired there is a tendency to repeat the same behavior lsishus yeisrsulg ,efnk M,h ys;lr kus tu yeisrsu kej; kej; lsrsug fm,Usula we; Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

22 Skinners principles Reinforcement Yla;slrkh: event (or consequence) following a behavior which increases the probability that the behavior will occur again. lsishus yeisrsulska miqj isoqjk foa fyda isoaOsh tu yeisrsu kej; isoqjSfus iusNdjs;dj jevslsrsu Operant: response that an organism makes to bring about an effect. Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

23 Types of reinforcement
Positive reinforcement : stimulus which when added to a situation increases the probability of the occurrence of a response. W;af;ackhla tl;=lsrsu lsishus m%;spdrhl M,h isoqjsfus iusNdjs;dj jevslsrsu Okd;aul Yla;slrkhlafjs Negative reinforcement: stimulus which when removed to a situation increases the probability of the occurrence of a response. W;af;ackhla bj;alsrsu lsishus m%;spdrhl M,h isoqjsfus iusNdjs;dj jevslsrsu iDKd;aul Yla;slrkhlafjs Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

24 Yla;slrk rgdj Schedule of reinforcement
The way of reinforcement: For reinforcement to be effective, it must be prompt. Yla;slrkhla iM,odhsjSug kus th tu wjia:dfjsoSu jsh hq;=h Pattern of by which reinforcement is administered: Continuous :pattern of reinforcement by which the organism is reinforced every time that it emits the desired response. wLKav Yla;slrkh Partial: the desired response is rewarded only part of the time. wraO Yla;slrkh Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

25 Schedule of reinforcement
Partial reinforcement wraO Yla;slrkh interval schedules of reinforcement ld, mrdihla wkqj fixed ia:djr variable jsp,Hh ratio schedules of reinforcement wkqmd;hla mrsos Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

26 wlue;s W;af;acl Aversive stimulus
Stimulus that the subject does not like. mqoa.,hd wlue;s W;af;aclhka Punishment ovqju: is consequence that decreases the probability that a behavior will recur. lsishu yeisrsula isoqjsfus iusNdjs;dj wvqlrk M,hla Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

27 Remember Some of our behaviors are due to fear or rewards wfma iuyr yeisrus Nsh fyda m%;sodk ksid isoqfjs

28 Operant conditioning Based on law of effect (Thorndike) – rewarded behavior is likely to be repeated we.hSula l, yeisrus kej; isoqjSug bv we; undesired Desired Positive Reinforcement Punishment Offering Negative Reinforcement negative Reinforcement Withdrawing Prof: W.P.Gamini de Alwis, Senior Lecturer

29 Cognitive learning theory
Learning is a complex process bf.Ksu ixlSraK l%shdj,shls Human beings are not just creatures of the environment but bring to it certain capacities for understanding the nature of the world and for demonstrating their understanding when motivated to do so. usksiqkag ;u mrsirh f;areus.ekSfus yelshdjla we;

30 Cognitive learning theory
Thought process is;=js,s oduh Mental imagery udkisl ixl,am Expectation wfmaCIdjka Concept – describe a class or category that subsumes a number of individual instances. Ex dwelling (hut, house, tent, apartment etc)

31 Social learning theory
