What to Focus On

  • Learning means a relatively durable change in behaviour due to experience.
  • Experience is the key feature of learning.
  • Temporary change is not learning.
  • Main types of learning are skill learning, verbal learning, and concept learning.
  • Two basic types are classical conditioning and operant conditioning.
  • Observational learning is another major way of learning.
  • Classical conditioning is also called Pavlovian conditioning.
  • Ivan P. Pavlov studied it with dogs.
  • Buzzer or tone is the Conditioned Stimulus.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any change in behaviour is learning.

Learning can be directly seen and measured only by watching the action itself.

Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are the same thing.

Memory Tips

Definition of learning

Learning is inferred, not directly observed
