The ______ defines health
education as “any combination of learning experiences designed to help individuals and communities improve their health, by increasing their knowledge or influencing their
attitudes.”
World Health Organization
It is the lifelong, dynamic process by which
individuals acquire new
knowledge or skills and alter
their thoughts,
Learning
___ is defined as a relatively permanent change in mental processing, emotional functioning, skill, and/or behavior as a result of exposure to different experiences.
Learning
A coherent framework of integrated constructs and principles that describe, explain, or predict how people learn
LEARNING THEORY
______ are useful in acquiring
information and in situations involving human thought,
emotions, and social interaction.
Psychological learning theories
To change behavior, change the stimulus conditions in the environment and the reinforcement after a
response
BEHAVIORIST THEORY
BEHAVIORIST THEORY CONCEPT ARE:
stimulus conditions
reinforcement
response
drive
_____ is of particular interest to nurses as they try to help their patients and students acquire or relearn
skills.
Motor learning
also termed association learning, classical
conditioning, or Pavlovian
conditioning
Respondent conditioning
emphasizes the importance
of stimulus conditions and the associations formed in the learning process.
Respondent conditioning
Its concept includes stimulus conditions, reinforcement,
response, drive
BEHAVIORIST THEORY
______ is a technique based on respondent conditioning that is used by psychologists to reduce fear and anxiety in their clients.
Systematic desensitization
a stimulus that has no special value or meaning to the learner
neutral stimulus
______ is the tendency of
initial learning experiences to be easily applied to other similar stimuli.
Stimulus generalization
______ is a useful respondent conditioning concept that needs to be given careful consideration in relapse
prevention programs.
Spontaneous recovery
In this basic model of learning, a neutral stimulus (a stimulus that has no special value or meaning to the learner) is paired with a naturally
occurring unconditioned or unlearned stimulus (UCS) and unconditioned response (UCR).
Respondent conditioning
_____ helps us understand why it is so difficult to eliminate completely unhealthy habits and addictive behaviors such as smoking, alcoholism, and drug abuse.
Spontaneous recovery
Operant conditioning, was developed largely by _____
B. F. Skinner.
focuses on the behavior of the organism and the reinforcement that occurs after the response.
Operant conditioning
CONTINGENCIES TO INCREASE AND DECREASE THE PROBABILITY OF AN ORGANISM’S RESPONSE
OPERANT CONDITIONING MODEL
When specific responses are
reinforced on the proper schedule, behaviors can be either increased or
decreased.
Operant conditioning
A ______ is a stimulus or event applied after a response that strengthens the probability that the response will be performed again.
reinforcer
application of a pleasant stimulus
Positive reinforcement
a pleasant stimulus is applied following an organism’s
response
Reward conditioning
Factors to increase the probability of a response:
Positive reinforcement
Negative reinforcement
removal of an aversive or unpleasant stimulus
Negative reinforcement
as an aversive stimulus is applied, the organism makes a
response that causes the unpleasant stimulus to cease
Escape conditioning
an aversive stimulus is anticipated by the organism, which makes a response to avoid the unpleasant event
Avoidance conditioning
as an unpleasant stimulus is
being applied, the individual responds in some way that causes the uncomfortable stimulation to cease.
Escape Conditioning
following a response, an aversive stimulus is applied that the organism cannot escape or avoid
Punishment
