Contiguity
|
something is paired often enough that the presentation of one primes the other.
|
|
Classical conditioning-
|
- Focuses on the learning of involuntary emotional or physiological responses such as fear; salvation in dog
|
|
Classical conditioning-unconditional
|
responses/ emotions we can't help; dog slavating
|
|
Classical conditioning-nuetral
|
- Neutral stimulus is paired with a stimulus that evokes an emotional or physiological response.
- neutral stimulus becomes conditioned |
|
Classical conditioning - conditioned
|
response from neutral stimulus and unconditional
|
|
Extinction
|
-if a behavior isn’t reinforced, it stops.
|
|
Operant conditioning
|
- learned behavior as we "operate" our daily lives
- choices made to gain a consequence or avoid stimuli - preceded by antecedents and followed by consequences |
|
Consequences
|
– rewrads or punishments
|
|
Positive Reinforcement
|
-hear praise so you increase the behavior you received praise for; keeping room clean = allowance
|
|
Negative Reinforcement
|
-increasing a behavior in order to remove an aversive stimuli; cleaning room = parents don't gripe
|
|
Punishment
|
– consequence that decreases behavior
|
|
Reinforcement Schedules
|
- Ratio = Based on number of responses
- Variable = based on varying number of responses and time |
|
Cueing
|
-is providing an antecedent stimulus before a behavior should occur; part of classroom management to help students remember behavior.
|
|
Cognitive perspective
|
- the result of an individual's attempts to make sense of the world; learning depends a great deal on individual perception.
|
|
Types of memory
|
- Procedural
- Sensory - Working |
|
Procedural memory is
|
memory for how to do things; roller skate
|
|
working memory
|
- contains the information that you are thinking about at the present moment
- capacity is 5-9 items |
|
Sensory Memory
|
- Initial memory from input of 5 senses
- very large |
|
Bottom-up processing
|
involves analyzing the recognizable features of incoming stimuli
|
|
top-down processing
|
involves using the context of a situation to recognize a stimulus.
|
|
Propositional networks
|
- organization of meaning according to meaning
|
|
Context
|
- represents the emotional states, places, etc., that we learned information
|
|
Problem solving
|
- formulating new answers; thinking outside the box
|
|
General Problem-Solving Strategy
|
- Identify the problem
- Define the goals - Explore possible strategies - Anticipate outcomes and Act - Look back and Learn |
|
heuristic is ...
|
a strategy that may not guarantee a correct solution but it provides a reasonable approach to problem solving that, if successful, will reduce the steps to a solution.
|
|
Means-Ends Analysis
|
The problem is divided into a number of intermediate goals or subgoals, and then a means of solving each intermediate subgoal is figured out.
|
|
Analogical thinking
|
-recognizing that a problem is similar to another and same methods can be applied
|
|
Functional fixedness
|
-missing out on a way to solve a problem because they are fixed on conventional uses for something; using a dime as a screwdriver
|
|
Flexibility
|
-being able to think about a problem in different and creative ways. The number of different categories of the responses given.
|
|
Fluency
|
-total number of different responses given.
|
|
Learning Strageties
|
- Procedural knowledge
- reflects metacognitive knowledge - helps students become more active in their learning |
|
Transfer Stages
|
- Acquisition phase
- Retention Phase - Transfer Phase |
|
- Acquisition phase
|
_receive, use, and rehearse strategy and practice being aware of when and how they are using it.
|
|
Retention Phase
|
students get more practice with feedback
|
|
Transfer Phase
|
student receive new problems that can e solved with the same strategy.
|
|
Spiral curriculum
|
-Bruner's model for teaching that introduces the fundamental structure of all subjects during the early school years followed by revisiting the subjects in increasingly more complex form over time.
|
|
Cooperative learning groups
|
- Most educators agree that cooperative learning involves situations in which students engage in elaboration, interpretation, explanation, and argumentation while doing group activities. Know the roles. Best practice for setting up groups.
|
|
Embodied Cognition
|
our cognitive process has deep roots in the interactions of our bodies with the real world.
|
|
Cognitive Constructivism
|
- Individuals make sense of the world based on individual knowledge, beliefs, and self-concept.
- Piaget |
|
Social Constructivism
|
- Social interaction, cultural tools, and activity shape individual development and learning.
- Vygotsky |
