Q

Different Learning theories

A

Behavioural view
- Classical conditioning (Pavlov, Watson)
- Operant conditioning (Skinner, Thorndike)
Cognitive view
- Observational Learning / Modeling (Bandura)
- Cognitive learning / learning through insight (Wertheimer, Kohler)

Q

Process of classical conditioning

A
  1. Unconditioned stimuli (response)
  2. Neutral stimuli (no response)
  3. Neutral + unconditioned stimuli (response)
  4. neutral stimulus - Conditioned response

Q

What is systematic desensitisation?

A
  • structured process to decondition
17
Q

Operant conditioning (Thorndike)

A
  • connection behavior with its conseqeunce
  • goal: learning new behavior
18
Q

Reinforcement vs. Punsihment

A
  1. Reinforcement: freqeuncy of behavior increases
  2. Punishment: frequency of behavior decreases
19
Q

What are differnet types of reinforcement?

A
  • positive (adding)
  • negative (taking sth. negative away)
  • primary
  • continuous
  • partial
  • shaping
  • chaining
20
Q

What different types of Punishment is there?

A

Positive (Type 1): Giving unpleasant stimulus
Negative (Type 2): Removing pleasant stimulus

21
Q

Goals and effects of Observational learning/Modeling (Bandura)

A
  • development of new behaviors
  • modification of existing behaviors
  • prosocial vs. antisocial
22
Q

Goals of cognitive learning/Learning through insight (Kohler)

A
  • restructuring & reorganizing
  • problem solving & behavior change
23
Q

6 Phases of cognitive learning (Wertheimer, Kohler)

A
  1. Emergence of the problem
  2. Trial behavior
  3. Restructuring
  4. Insight and solution
  5. Application
  6. Transfer
24
Q

Practical relevance of operant conditioning

A
  • promoting intrinsic motivaton
  • increase in competence & self-esteem
