| Behaviourist approaches to learning | theories that propose learning occurs by interacting with the external environment |
| Classical conditioning | a process of learning through the involuntary association between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus that results in a conditioned response |
| three stages of classical conditioning | 1. before conditioning 2. during conditioning 3. after conditioning |
| type of learning Classical conditioning | involuntary learning whereby the subject can be conditioned without making any conscious effort to learn the conditioned response |
| Before conditioning | the first stage of classical conditioning, during which the neutral stimulus has no associations and therefore does not produce any significant response |
| Before conditioning includes... | • neutral stimulus • unconditioned stimulus • unconditioned response |
| Neutral stimulus | the stimulus that produces no significant response prior to conditioning |
| Unconditioned stimulus | the stimulus that produces an unconscious response |
| Unconditioned response | a naturally occurring behaviour in response to a stimulus |
| During conditioning | the second stage of classical conditioning, during which the neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus, producing the unconditioned response |
| what happens during conditioning | NS is repeatedly with the UCS, which produces UCR timing and order of presenting NS UCS important. NS must be presented first, staying untill the UCS within half a second. The unconditioned stimulus should not be presented any later than this. |
| After conditioning | the third stage of classical conditioning, during which the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus, producing a conditioned response |
| Conditioned stimulus | the stimulus (originally the neutral stimulus) that produces a conditioned response after being repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus |
| Conditioned response | the response that occurs involuntarily after the conditioned stimulus is presented |
| Operant conditioning | a three-phase learning process that involves an antecedent, behaviour, and consequence, whereby the consequence of a behaviour determines the likelihood that it will reoccur, a behavorist approuch to learning |
| Operant conditioning learning | suggests that learning occurs through interacting with the external environment, behaviour is not so much influenced by our thoughts, feelings, or emotions, but rather by direct and observable environmental consequences for behaviour. |
| Operant conditioning has three phases: | 1. antecedent 2. behaviour 3. consequence. |
| Antecedent | the stimulus or event that precedes and often elicits a particular behaviour |
| Behaviour (in relation to operant conditioning) | the voluntary actions that occur in the presence of the antecedent |
| Consequence | the outcome of the behaviour, which determines the likelihood that it will occur again |
| Reinforcement | a consequence that increases the likelihood of a behaviour reoccurring |
| Positive reinforcement | the addition of a desirable stimulus, which in turn increases the likelihood of a behaviour reoccurring (presenting a desired stimulus) |
| Negative reinforcement | the removal of an undesirable stimulus, which in turn increases the likelihood of a behaviour reoccurring (removing an undesrirbale stimulus) |
| Punishment | a consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behaviour reoccurring |
| Positive punishment | the addition of an undesirable stimulus, which in turn decreases the likelihood of a behaviour reoccurring (adding an undesribale stimulus) |
| Negative punishment (also known as response cost) | the removal of a desirable stimulus, which in turn decreases the likelihood of a behaviour reoccurring (removing a desirbale stimulus) |
| Similarities between classical and operant conditioning Si | behaviourist approaches to learning three-phase processes of learning require several trials in order for learning to occur |
| and differences between classical and operant conditioning | OClearning a voluntary behaviour, CC learning an involuntary behaviour. Learners are active during OC, learners are passive during CC OC requires a consequence, whereas there is no kind of consequence during classical conditionin |
| Social-cognitive approaches to learning | theories that propose learning takes place in a social setting and involves various cognitive processes |
| social-cognitive approaches to learning link to bandura | This approach to learning is closely linked to the social learning theory, which was first proposed by psychologist Albert Bandura. |
| Observational learning (also known as social learning, vicarious conditioning, or modelling) | a process of learning that involves watching the behaviour of a model and the associated consequence of that behaviour |
| vicarous learning | we can be indirectly conditioned by watching someone else’s conditioning. OL can also be referred to as vicarious conditioning. as experienced through watching other people’s activities, rather than doing the activities yourself |
| obersevational learning parts | learner (actice role in learning) and a model (the individual who is performing the behaviour that is being observed0 |
| Attention | the first stage of observational learning in which individuals actively focus on the model’s behaviour and the consequences of the behaviour |
| factors of attention | perceived positively • liked • of high status (such as a celebrity) • similar to the learner • familiar to the learner • visible and stands out from others • behaving in a way that the learner believes can be imitated. |
| Retention | the second stage of observational learning in which individuals create a mental representation to remember the model’s demonstrated behaviour |
| retention stage | ( If the individual has met this stage this means that the information they have paid attention to is stored in their memory. This information can then be accessed later on when the individual goes to perform the behaviour. |
| Reproduction | the third stage of observational learning in which the individual must have the physical and mental capabilities to replicate the behaviour |
| what happens if they paid attention all teh way up to reproduction | may have paid attention to the model and retained info, but no physical or mental ability to successfully replicate the behaviour= no replication of the behaviour. ( harder as people may not have control of their mental or physical capabilities) |
| Motivation | the fourth stage of observational learning in which the individual must want to reproduce the behaviour (cognitive process)(intrinsic or extrincic) |
| Reinforcement | the fifth stage of observational learning in which the individual receives a positive consequence for the behaviour which makes them more likely to reproduce the behaviour again in the future |
| different types of reinforcement | Self-reinforcement: • External reinforcement • Vicarious reinforcement |
| Self-reinforcement: | the behaviour is reinforced through factors internal to the individual, such as feeling proud of themselves. |
| External reinforcement | the behaviour is reinforced by factors external to the individual, such as receiving an award. |
| • Vicarious reinforcement: | the behaviour is reinforced by observing the reinforcement of another person performing the same behaviour(enhance individual’s motivation, more likely to reproduce the behaviour again in the future, despite not being directly reinforced themselves) |
| Systems of knowledge | knowledge and skills are based on interconnected social, physical, and spiritual understandings, and in turn, inform survival and contribute to a strong sense of identity |
| what is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities Learning | Fundamentally, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, learning is a process that takes place within complex systems of knowledge, |
| Such systems of knowledge: | -developed by communities working toegther and sharing traditional expertise and knowldge -informed by culture inculdng who can learn what and where consist of innfo taht is highly rleavnet to survival |
| Such systems of knowledge cont | -informed by spiritual and ancestral knowledge consist of info that is highly interconnected patterned across country |
| Country | traditional lands of a particular language or cultural group, including both geographical boundaries and the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual connections to and within it |
| what is country in terms of learning? | , learning in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is inherently tied to Country, or the place relevant to the knowledge being learnt. |
| what is meant by multimodal? | Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander approaches to learning are multimodal by nature, meaning that they use a variety of methods. |
| elements within the 8 ways of Aboriginal learning framework | stroy sharing, learning maps, non verbal, symbols and images, land links, non linear, deconsitruct/reconstruct, community links |
| Learning embedded in relationships | The process of learning for Australia’s First Nations is deeply embedded in relationships. between concepts. between learner and teacher. between individuals, families, and communities. between all of the above and Country. |
| Learning embedded in relationships cont | This means that for learning to occur, an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner must have access to all of these important relationships |
| how is Learning embedded in relationships | an environment of familiarity and trust is built. Traditionally, this stems from many familial interactions and relationships that have been created through generations |
