What to Focus On

  • Human behaviour is of two types: Natural (innate) and Learned.
  • Natural behaviour requires no formal education — it is present from birth.
  • Learned behaviour is acquired through experience, observation, and practice.

  • C.T. Morgan's definition: Learning is a relatively permanent change in behaviour due to experience or practice.
  • Three key features: Experience/Practice, Change in Behaviour, and Relatively Permanent Change.
  • Behavioural changes due to maturation, fatigue, drugs, or injury do NOT count as learning.

  • There are five major types of learning studied in psychology.
  • Each type has been demonstrated through specific scientific experiments.
  • Experiments have been conducted on both humans and animals.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Negative reinforcement is the same as punishment.

Any change in behaviour qualifies as learning.

In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus (CS) produces the same response as the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) on its own from the very beginning.
