3 Flashcards
a coherent framework and set of integrated
constructs and principles that describe, explain, or predict how people
learn.
learning theory
view learning as the
product of the stimulus conditions
(S) and the responses (R) that
follow—sometimes termed the S-
R model of learning.
-closely observe
responses and then manipulate
the environment to bring about
the intended change
BEHAVIORIST LEARNING THEORY
is a
technique based on respondent
conditioning that is used by
psychologists to reduce fear and anxiety
in their clients.
* The assumption is that fear of a
particular stimulus or situation is
learned, so it can, therefore, be
“unlearned” or extinguished.
Systematic desensitization
- The key to learning and changing is the
individual’s cognition (perception, thought,
memory, and ways of processing and
structuring information). - A highly active process largely directed
by the individual, learning involves perceiving
the information, interpreting it based on
what is already known, and then reorganizing
the information into new insights or
understanding.
COGNITIVE LEARNING THEORY
the best-known cognitive
developmental theorist, and his observations
of children’s perception and thought
processes at different ages
Jean Piaget
what they already know
(assimilation)
change their perceptions and
interpretations in keeping with the new information
(accommodation).
(aggressive and
destructive impulses, or “death
wish”).
thanatos
(the desire for pleasure and sex,
sometimes called the “life force”)
eros
most primitive source of
motivation comes from the?
id
ignoring or refusing to
acknowledge the reality of a threat.
Denial:
excusing or explaining
away a threat.
Rationalization:
: taking out hostility and
aggression on other individuals rather
than directing anger at the source of
the threat
Displacement:
keeping unacceptable
thoughts, feelings, or actions from
conscious awareness
Repression:
returning to an earlier
(less mature, more primitive) stage of
behavior as a way of coping with a
threat.
Regression:
