Key Topics to Revise

1

Nature and Features of Learning

  • Learning is defined as any relatively permanent change in behaviour or behavioural potential produced by experience
  • Learning is an inferred process - we cannot directly observe learning, only its effects through performance
  • Learning involves experience - either single powerful experiences or repeated experiences
2

Classical Conditioning

  • First investigated by Ivan Pavlov during digestion studies with dogs
  • Involves pairing a neutral stimulus (CS) with an unconditioned stimulus (US)
  • Creates association between stimuli (S-S learning)
3

Operant/Instrumental Conditioning

  • Investigated by B.F. Skinner using Skinner Box experiments
  • Focuses on voluntary behaviours (operants) and their consequences
  • Learning occurs through reinforcement of desired responses
4

Learning Processes and Phenomena

  • Extinction: Gradual disappearance of learned response when reinforcement stops
  • Generalisation: Responding similarly to similar stimuli
  • Discrimination: Responding differently to different stimuli
