Learning Flashcards
acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitude.
Learning
Is a mental activity by means of which knowledge, skills and attitudes are acquired resulting in the modifications of behavior.
principles of learning are complimentary to principles of teaching
Learning
enumerate the types of Learning
Signal Learning
Stimulus-response learning
Chaining
Verbal Association
DIscrimination Learning
Concept learning
Rule Learning
Problem Solving
- The person develops a general diffuse reaction to a stimulus.
Signal Learning
A medical student may feel fear every time the term skill test is mentioned because he or she has felt fear whenever takinq an actual skill test. Because of the association, just the term skill test is enough to evoke fear. The words have become the signal that elicits the response.
Signal Learning
- involves developing a voluntary response to a specific stimulus or combination of stimuli.
- STIMULUS -RESPONSE LEARNING
when patient says he has headache, the right response of the nurse is to assess by checking temperature-
thermometer reads 37.8
patient is febrile
then perform tsb (tepid sponge bath)
check temperature 37.2
document and say that there is no fever
- STIMULUS -RESPONSE LEARNING
- is the acquisition of a series of related conditioned responses or stimulus response connections
Chaining
- continuation of situation if patient temperature becomes 38 - fever is present - call resident doctor - series of conditioned responses
Chaining
- is easily recognized in the process of learning medical terminology
Verbal Association
- °The ability to retain and discriminate large number of chains
- arrangement of things- eg. having own closet
- ex: differentiating categories of medication (anti-acids, anti-biotics etc), needles and gague sizes
Discrimination learning
- learning how to classify stimuli into groups represented by a common concept
Concept learning
- ER nurse- patient comes in with cardinal 3 Ps - signs of diabetes
Concept learning
dry cough - fever- loss of taste
and smell - COVID 19
Concept learning
- 80 year old woman came in- claimed she had progressive weight loss- low grade afternoon fever - productive cough - a day ago - she coughed out blood - tuberculosis
COncept learning
considered a chain of concepts or a relationship between concepts.
Rule learning
- is generally expressed as “ If then” relationships
rule learning
- if symptoms persist, consult your doctor
Rule learning
- if in doubt, consider it unsterile
- general rule for food safety “if in doubt, then throw it out”
