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

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

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.

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.

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

16. Social Learning Theory (SLT) by Bandura

17. Social Learning Theory (SLT) Through identification, children come to believe they have the same characteristics as the model.
