Unit 2 – Approaches to learning theories Learning is the demonstration of knowledge of an action, which they did not know before” (Honey and Mumford. 1996) Understanding teaching and coaching it is important to have knowledge regarding the different approaches in learning styles and how they can be applied in a sporting scenario, which enables coaches and athletes to maximize their potential. The definition of learning can be contextualized by two paradigms, which are humanism and behaviorism…

themselves how to wake up every morning. This method of teaching, as described in the brief example, is known as classical conditioning. One must condition themselves to respond to the alarm clock that is used to arouse them in the morning. Using this same example, many of the aforementioned people have also experienced another form of learning known as operant conditioning. Every time they hit the snooze button, they are putting themselves further and further behind. Sometimes when this happens…

Question #1: Describe the factors that contribute to the development of oppositional children and analyze how these factors are impacting your job. There tends to be three main factors that put a child at risk for developing a pattern toward oppositional and defiant behavior. These factors are: children with a natural and innate difficult temperament, parents who possess a low level of skill for disciplining and nurturing a child, and parents enduring an excessively high level of stress. Any…

to demonstrate empirical evidence for inhibitory conditioning. Numerous researchers have used the two-test strategy to demonstrate inhibitory conditioning on an extensive range of subjects including invertebrates, animals and humans. However, many reviews have argued that summation and retardation tests lack control over procedures, allowing alternative interpretations. Consequently, empirical evidence from the techniques for inhibitory conditioning is rare. Nevertheless, strong emphasis remains…

reinforcement. According to B.F Skinner’s theory, positive reinforcement is defined as a presented stimuli that works to increase or strengthen the probability increase that operates in a condition used when a response occurs; he is the founder of operant conditioning. In the field of Science the…

Skinner’s operant conditioning and Ivan Pavlov’s classical conditioning are two styles of learning that can not only cause, but can treat addiction. “Conditioning is a form of learning in which either (1) a given stimulus (or signal) becomes increasingly effective in evoking a response or (2) a response occurs with increasing regularity in a…

Classical conditioning is the basic learning process that involves repeatedly pairing a neutral stimulus with a response- producing stimulus until the neutral stimulus elicits the same response. It deals with behaviors that are elicited automatically by some stimulus. There are four principles of classical conditioning. The first is the unconditioned stimulus which is the natural stimulus that reflexively produces a response without prior learning. Next is the unconditioned response which is the…

is in their minds that this storm is dangerous enough and it can cause discomfort to them in any way. By locking at classical conditioning in this case, it is easy to find out and understand very well why the children are frightened. First of all, it has…

changing the behavior if I reward myself, because of the great sense of accomplishment after one day, so I’ve decided to go with punishment. In my case, the target behavior is picking my nose, and the goal is to eliminate it. According to operant conditioning, in order to eliminate this unwanted behavior of mine, which is picking my nose, I will have to use negative punishment (removal of a desired thing). Therefore, in order to implement this, I’ve decided to take away music as an act of…

This paper seeks to understand speeding as a target health-risk related behavior that I would like to change. After observing my speeding habits for 3-5 days, I will create a plan that uses operant conditioning in hopes of understanding and creating better driving habits. I try to understand a personal experience of how speeding has effected my life and in what ways do I feel I can or cannot control it. I will go into detail on what kinds of stimuli offer better environments for speeding and…
