Q

Learning Theory

A

[BICC]

  • Behaviorism (explains behavior from observable and measurable responses to stimuli)
  • Information processing theory (uses a computer system as a model for human learning)
  • Cognitive theory (focuses on what’s going on inside the mind)
  • Constructivism (learner actively builds)

Q

Acquiring Skill Knowledge

A

[CAA]

  • Cognitive stage (learner memorized step to a skill)
  • Association stage (practices skill, now assess and make changes in performance)

Q

Types of Errors

A

Slip - Plans to do one thing, but inadvertently does something else
Mistakes - When a person plans to do the wrong thing and is successful

17
Q

How to Reduce Error

A

[DRCULT]

  • Developing routines (use standardized procedures)
  • Raising awareness (beware of out of the ordinary situation)
  • Check for errors (actively looking for errors)
  • Using reminders (checklist, heading bugs, altitude alerts)
  • Learning and practicing (higher knowledge and skill leads to lower frequency and magnitude of error)
  • Taking time and don’t rush (performing at a faster or unfamiliar pace can increase the likelihood of error)
18
Q

Memory and Forgetting

A

[SSL]

  • Sensory (receives input from the five senses)
  • Short-term memory (received from sensory register)
  • Long-term memory (information stored for future use)
19
Q

Forgetting

A

[RIFRS]

  • Retrieval failure (inability to retrieve information)
  • Interference (new experience overshadows previous experience)
  • Fading (forgetting something over time)
  • Repression
  • Suppression
20
Q

Retention of Learning

A

[MRLAMP]

  • Meaningful repetition aids recall
  • Recall is prompted by association
  • Learning with all senses is most effective
  • Attitudes that are favorable to aid retention
  • Mnemonics
  • Praise stimulates recall
21
Q

Mnemonics

A

[AARC]

  • Acronyms
  • Acrostics
  • Rhymes
  • Chaining
22
Q

Transfer of Learning

A

Positive transfer - past knowledge assists new learning

Negative transfer - past knowledge confuses from new learning
