Types of Learning
Types of Learning
1. Non-associative learning
- refers to "a relatively permanent change in the strength of response to a single stimulus due to repeated exposure to that stimulus. Changes due to such factors as sensory adaptation, fatigue, or injury do not qualify as non-associative learning."
Non-associative learning can be divided into habituation and sensitization.
++ Habituation ++
-is a decrease in behavioral responsiveness that occurs when a stimulus is repeated frequently without a subsequent reward or punishment. It's a very simple type of learning which has roots in ultimate causation (evolutionary cause): it increases fitness by allowing animals to distinguish between "real" stimuli, and those that do not produce results. In other words, some stimuli are ignored either because they do not have benefits, or the animal would waste energy pursuing the stimulus, without results.
Example : First day of School.
++ Sensitisation ++
-is where something happens over and over again and you become more sensitive to it.
Example : Kapag ang classmate mo kinalabit ka, sa una ayos lang. Pero kapag patuloy nya parin itong ginagawa maiirita or magiging sensitive ka na. So gagawin mo ang lahat para mapatigil mo lang sya.
2. Associative learning
- is learning that involves relations between events.
Example : When the sky is dark, you know it's probably going to rain. If a stoplight is red, you stop, if it's green, you go.
3. Imprinting
- Imprinting is the term used in psychology and ethology to describe any kind of phase-sensitive learning (learning occurring at a particular age or a particular life stage) that is rapid and apparently independent of the consequences of behavior.
Example : Newly hatched birds and newborn mammals recognize and follow the first moving object they see.
4. Classical Conditioning
-is a technique used in behavioral training. A naturally occurring stimulus is paired with a
