A combination of learning experiences designed to facilitate voluntary actions conductive to health
Health education
Collection of detailed ideas, processes, data and theories that can be used for a certain period of time
Information
Complex and planned learning experience which aims to bring changes in cognitive, knowledge and psychomotor
Education
Process of sharing ideas
Communication
Lifelong process by which individuals acquire new knowledge or skills
Learning
A relatively permanent change in mental processing, emotional functioning, skill, and/or behavior as a result of experience.
Learning
A coherent framework and set of integrated constructs and principles that describe, explain, or predict how people learn.
Learning Theory
Focusing mainly on what is directly observable, behaviorists view learning as the product of the stimulus conditions and the responses hat follow.
Behavioral Learning Theory
emphasizes the importance of stimulus conditions and the associations formed in the learning process
Respondent Conditioning
an individual is trained to relax while being exposed to the thing or stimulus causing anxiety
Desentization
encouraging individuals to give up undesirable habits by causing them to associate the habit with an unpleasant effect.
Aversion
exposing an individual directly and abruptly to the fear; inducing stimuli(extreme/irrational fear) then, relaxation techniques for about 2-3 sessions
Flooding
a technique based on respondent conditioning that is used by psychologists to reduce fear and anxiety in their clients
Systemic desensitization
the tendency of initial learning experiences to be easily applied to other similar stimuli.
Stimulus generalization
useful respondent conditioning concept that needs to be given careful consideration in relapse prevention programs.
Spontaneous Recovery
focuses on the behavior of the organism and the reinforcement that occurs after the response.
Operant conditioning
3 types of Operant: neither increases or decreases the behavior
Neutral
3 types of Operant: increases the behavior
Reinforcer
decreases the behavior
Punisher
Contingencies to Increase and Decrease the Probability of an Organism’s Response
Operant Conditioning Model
application of a pleasant stimulus
Positive reinforcement
a pleasant stimulus is applied following an organism’s response
Reward conditioning
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
an organism’s conditioned response is not followed by any kind of reinforcement (positive, negative, or punishment)
Non reinforcement
