The document discusses different types of learning, including verbal learning, motor learning, concept learning, problem solving, serial learning, and paired-associate learning. It also discusses the learning process, how learning occurs through experience and the formation of associations, and different approaches to learning including behavioral, cognitive, stimulus-stimulus learning, and response-consequence learning. Major theories discussed include behaviorism, which views learning as the acquisition of behaviors through environmental interaction and conditioning, and cognitive approaches, which see learning as involving conscious information processing and problem solving.

1. Types of Learning
Dr. Pratibha Sagar
Department of Education
MJP Rohilkhand University
Bareilly

2. Types of Learning
Verbal learning-acquisition of
verbal behaviour
Motor learning-motor skills
Concept learning- mental
image.

3. Types of Learning
Problem solving- higher
learning; reasoning, thinking,
power of observation,
discrimination, generalization,
imagination, ability to infer and
draw conclusions etc.

4. Types of Learning
Serial learning- alphabet,
numbers, tables etc.
Paired- associate learning-
based on the association.

5. What is Learning Process?
Learning takes place when
information is received into
the mind and then processed
to make sense of it.

6. What is Learning Process?
Learning new information is
made possible by connecting
it to existing information and
then storing it so that it can
be retrieved later.

7. How Does Learning Occur?
A relatively permanent change in
behavior that results from
experience.
 Adaptive – allows organisms to
adapt their behavior to the demands
of the environment.

8. Stimulus-Stimulus Learning
Learning to associate one stimulus with another.

9. Response-Consequence Learning
Learning to associate a response
with a consequence.

10. Response-Consequence Learning
Learning to associate a response
with a consequence.

11. Approaches to Learning
Approaches
to Learning
Behavioural Cognitive

12. Behavioural Approaches
Behaviour is everything that
we do, both verbal and
nonverbal, that can be directly
seen or heard

13. Behavioural Approaches
Behaviour should be explained
by observable experiences, not
by mental processes
Associative Learning – learning
that two events are connected
or associated

14. Cognitive learning posits
that learning results from
an individual’s conscious
information processing
activity to solve problems
Cognitive Approaches

15. Cognitive Approaches
Cognition means “thought”
 Four main cognitive approaches:
 Social cognitive
 Information processing
 Cognitive constructivist
 Social constructivist

Cognitive Approaches

17. What are learning theories?
Learning theories are
attempts to describe how
people and animals learn.

18. Learning theory
There are three main learning
theories which provide different
perspectives on how learning occurs.
Behaviorist
Cognitive
Humanistic

19. What is Behaviourism?
Is a theory of learning based
upon the idea that all
behaviors are acquired
through training.

20. What is Behaviorism?
This training is imparted
through interaction with the
environment.

21. What is Behaviourism?
The behaviourist model views
man as a machine.
The focus of this approach is
on how the environment
impacts our behaviour.

22. What is Behaviourism?
The learner must be engaged
in the behaviour in order to
learn it.

23. What is Behaviorism?
The learner not learn from
what people say but from
what people do.

24. What is Behaviourism?
Learning is active: "Tell
me, I will forget. Show me,
and I will remember. Involve
me, and I will understand."

25. Major Thinkers in Behaviorism

B. F. Skinner
Edward Thorndike
Albert Bandura
John Watson
