8. TYPES OF LEARNING
1. Motor learning
Most of our activities in our day to day life refer to motor
activities. The individual has to learn them in order to
maintain his regular life, for example walking, running,
skating, driving, climbing,etc. all these activities involve the
muscular coordination.
9. 2. Verbal learning :
This type of learning involves the language we speak, the
communication devices we use. Signs, pictures, symbols,
words, figures, sound, etc, are the tools used in such
activities. We use words for communication.
10. 3. Concept learning :
It is the form of learning which requires higher order mental
processes like thinking, reasoning, intelligence, etc. we
learn different concepts from childhood. For example, when
we see a dog and attach the term ‘dog’ , we learn that the
word dog refers to a particular animal. Concept learning
involves two processes,viz. abstraction and generalization.
This learning is very useful in recognizing,identifying things.
11. 4. Descrimination learning:
Learning to differentiate between stimuli and showing an
appropriate response to these stimuli is called discrimination
learning. For example sound horns of different vehicles like
bus, car, ambulance etc
12. 5. Learning of principles:
Individual learns certain principles related to science,
mathematics, grammar,etc in order to manage their work
effectively. These principles always show the relationship
between two or more concepts. Example : formulae , laws,
associations, correlations, etc.
13. 6. Problem solving :
This is the higher order learning process. This learning
requires the use of cognitive abilities such as thinking,
reasoning, observation, imagination, generalization, etc.
this is very useful to overcome difficult problems
encountered by the people.
14. 7. Attitude learning :
Attitute is a predisposition which determines and directs our
behavior. We develop different attitudes from our childhood
about the people, objects and everything we know. Our
behavior may be positive or negative depending upon our
attitutes. Example: attitudes of nurse towards her
profession, patients, etc.
