1. Behaviorism (S-R)Psychology- founded by John B. Watson- focus on the study of observable andmeasurable behavior-concentrate on actual behavior, basing theirconclusion on external manifistation of learning.- learning is a changed in behavior.

2. Conditioning theory- type of learning that occurs when anassociation is made between a stimulus andresponse.2 Major type1. Classical Conditioning2. Operant Conditioning 3. Classical Conditioningtheory- learning through stimulus pairing- first described and studied by a russianphysiologist , Ivan Pavlov 4. Neutral Stimulus- Something that wouldnt normally elicita particular reflexive response from theparticipant 5. Connectionism theory(by edward lee thorndike)- believes that all learning is explained bybonds of connections that are formedbetween stimulus and response.- formulated three laws of learning 6. Law of readiness- Thorndike states that readiness is a veryimportant condition in learning, because alearner must be satisfied or frustrateddepending on his/her state of readiness. 7. Law of Exercise- this law explains that any connection isstrengthened in proportion to the number oftimes occurs and in proportion to the averagevigor and duration of the connection. 8. Law of effect- when the organisms response isaccompanied or followed by asatisfactory state, the strenght of theconnection is increased. 9. Operantconditioning/instrumentalconditioning theory- type of learning in which the futureprobability of a behavior is affected by itsconsequences. 10. Operant consequences1. Reinforcement - any procedure that result in anincrease in a response2. Punishment - any procedure that results in adecrease in a response. 11. Positive reinforcement- a situation in which a response isfollowed by the addition of a reinforcingstimulus, incresing the likelihood that theresponse will be repeated in similarsituations.Negative reinforcement- a situation in which a response resultsin the removal, avoidance or escape fromstimulus, incresing the likelihood that theresponse will be repeated in similarsituations 12. Social cognitive theory- founded by albert bandura- emphasize the behavior, environment andcognition are the key factors in development 13. The modeling process1. Attention attending to what themodel is saying or doing.2. Retention coding the information andkeep it in memory so that it can beretrieved.3. Reproduction Possesses motorcapabilities to perform the action4. Reinforcement any procedure thatresult in an increase of response. 14. Prepared by:Clarissa Thea Ramos Bsped 3
