2. THERE ARE FOUR METHODS OF LEARNING ;
LEARNING BY TRIAL AND ERROR
LEARNING BY IMITATION
LEARNIG BY INSIGHT
LEARNIG BY DOING

4. LEARNING BY TRIAL AND ERROR
In the cases discussed the common factors are;
Problem is felt
Need to solve the problem is also felt
Effort to solve the problem is made
On failure the effort is made again and again
The effort was made by chance the solution is found
On finding the solution the acts are memorized

6. LEARNING BY IMITATION
Imitation is an advanced behavior whereby an individual observes and
replicates another's behavior. Imitation is also a form of social
learning that leads to the "development of traditions, and ultimately
our culture. It allows for the transfer of information (behaviours,
customs, etc.) between individuals and down generations without the
need for genetic inheritance.
The ability to copy the actions of others is present from birth in both
infant humans and chimpanzees and provides a method for the social
transmission of knowledge. For this type of learning to have an impact
over the long-term, the infant must be able to encode, store, and
retrieve the information they receive for use at a later date.

8. LEARNIG BY INSIGHT
A mental process marked by the sudden and expected
solution to a problem.
Insight learning does not involve gradual shaping or trial and
error. Instead, internal organizational processes occur that
cause new behavior.
Insight learning occurs when a new behavior is learned
through cognitive processes rather than through interactions
with the outside world.

10. LEARNIG BY DOING
There is really only one way to learn how to do something
and that is to do it. If you want to learn to throw a football,
drive a car, build a mousetrap, design a building, cook a stir-fry,
or be a management consultant, you must have a go at
doing it.
What the people do in learning by doing is;
The aims are determined
The difficulty is identified
The ways to solve, the knowledge and skills needed are
identified
