MOD 1 Flashcards
Defined as the activity of gaining knowledge or skill by studying
Learning
process of knowledge presentation and also is an activity meant for student in order to change ones behavior
Teaching
” thinking of one’s thinking”
-process used to plan , monitor and asses one’s understanding and performance
Metacognition
Metacognition includes a critical awareness of:
One’s thinking and learning
Oneself as a thinker and learner
- The ability to learn or understand or to deal with something new.
- predict success of training
Intelligence
these were built on measures of memory, vocabulary, reasoning, and mathematics
IQ tests
who introduced multiple intelligences?
Gardner (1992)
It is the ability to take in info, store it, and recall it
Memory
Stages of memory:
Encoding
Storage
Retrieval, recall, recognition
Process of conversion of Short-term memory into long term; repetitive action of doing something
Rehearsal
Types of memory:
- Sensory- impressions; 5 senses
- Short term- AKA working memory (20secs)
- Long term- carry it until grave- large capacity
2 types of long term memomory:
Explicit or declarative- conscious recall
Implicit or procedural-unconscious recall
2 subdivisions of explicit long term memory:
Semantic- Factual memory
Episodic- personal experiences
a long term memory that is sometimes called muscle memory
Implicit or procedural
Ability to take information learned in one situation and apply to another
Transfer
Successful transfer depends on several transfers:
- material was originally learned
- retrieve info from memory
- material was taught and learned
- setting ; material was taught and learned
- similarity of new info to orig info
Learning theories (ormrod,2016):
Behaviorism- tangible
Cognitivism- intangible
- focused on observable change in behavior
- shaped from environment; external factors
- stimulus and response is shorter
Behaviorism
Behaviorist Assumptions:
-Humans=Animals
-stimuli and response
-thoughts, motives, and emotions are unimportant
-learning should change bahavior
-organisms are born as blank slates; learning occurs post birth

Founder of Principles of Classical Conditioning; and years.
Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936
a change in behavior in which you pair a bilogically potent stimulus to a previously neutral stimulus
Classical Conditioning
Founder of trial and error of connectionism
Edward Lee Thorndlike (1874-1949)
Laws under trial and error connectionism:
Law of Effect - goal oriented behavior increases and random decreases
Law of Exercise- repeated action of satisfying behavior; stronger connection of stimuls and response
Law of Readiness- motivating factor of learner
