PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING Flashcards
Degree of preparedness and eagerness to learn.
PRINCIPLE OF READINESS
Things that are most often repeated are best remembered.
PRINCIPLE OF EXERCISE
Based on the emotional reaction and motivation of the student.
PRINCIPLE OF EFFECT
Things learned first create a strong impression in the mind that is difficult to erase.
PRINCIPLE OF PRIMACY
Things that are most recently learned are often best remembered.
PRINCIPLE OF RECENCY
The more intense something is taught, the more likely it will be retained.
PRINCIPLE OF INTENSITY
States that “we must have something to obtain or do something”.
PRINCIPLE OF REQUIREMENT
Things freely learned are best learned; the more a student is coerced, the more difficult it is for him to learn, assimilate & implement what is learned.
PRINCIPLE OF FREEDOM
Three great freedoms that
constitute personal responsibility:
a. freedom of choice
b. freedom of action
c. freedom to bear the results of action.
THREE MAJOR SCHOOLS OF LEARNING
- Behavioral Theory
- Observational Learning, imitation and modeling
- Cognitive Theory
Learning takes place when there is a change in behavior.
Behavioral Theory
Learning by thinking, reasoning and transferring.
Cognitive Theory
Take concepts and propositions and fit them together to explain why people behave, act, and think the way they do and predict under what circumstances they will act.
THEORY
A coherent framework and set of integrated constructs and principles that describe, predict, or explain how people learn and change.
LEARNING THEORY
postulated that behavior is a series of conditioned reflexes, and all emotions and thought is a result of behavior learned after conditioning.
CONTIGUITY THEORY
A process which influences the acquisition of
new responses to environment stimuli.
Classical/Pavlovian Conditioning
TECHNIQUES BASED RESPONDENT CONDITIONING
- Classical/Pavlovian Conditioning
- Systematic desensitization
- Stimulus generalization
- Spontaneous recovery
Repeated and gradual exposure to fear-inducing stimulus under relaxed and threatening circumstances will give the patient the sense of security that no harm will come so that he or she no longer fears the stimulus.
Systematic desensitization
The tendency to apply to other similar stimuli
what was initially learned.
Stimulus generalization
It is usually applied in relapse prevention
programs and may explain why it is quite difficult to eliminate “unhealthy habits and addictive behaviors.” Which one claim having completely “kick the habit.”
Spontaneous recovery
