This document defines learning as a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience. It discusses factors that affect learning such as the environment, learner, teacher, and others. Several theories of learning are presented, including trial-and-error learning theory, classical conditioning theory, operant conditioning theory, cognitive learning theory, and social learning theory. Classical conditioning associates a conditioned stimulus with a conditioned response through repeated pairing, while operant conditioning associates behaviors with consequences to increase or decrease those behaviors.

1 Classical conditioning works on building
associations between a conditioned stimulus
and conditioned response
Operant conditioning works on building
associations between response and the
consequence of response
2 Behaviour is elicited by unconditioned or
conditioned stimulus
Behaviour is elicited voluntarily to produce a
desirable result
3 Individual/organism is passive Individual/organism is active
4 Conditioning is stimulus oriented Conditioning is response oriented
5 Before conditioning unconditioned stimulus
leads to unconditioned response after
conditioning conditioned stimulus leads to
conditioned response
Reinforcement leads to increase in
response/behaviour and Punishment leads to
decrease in response/behaviour
6 Example-after a doctor gives a painful
injection (unconditioned stimulus) to a child
that causes the baby to cry (unconditioned
stimulus)
The child develops fear such that on sight of
injection (conditioned stimulus) the baby
starts to cry (conditioned response)
Example- a student who after studying hard earns
good marks (reinforcement) is more likely to
study hard in the future,
A student who fails in exams (punishment) after
watching movie before the exams is less likely to
watch movie before the next exam
