Simple non-associative learning
Habituation
Main article: Habituation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habituation)
In psychology, habituation is an example of non-associative learning in which there is a progressive diminution of behavioral (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior) response probability with repetition stimulus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulation). An animal first responds to a stimulus, but if it is neither rewarding nor harmful the animal reduces subsequent responses. One example of this can be seen in small song birds—if a stuffed owl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl) (or similar predator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator)) is put into the cage, the birds initially react to it as though it were a real predator. Soon the birds react less, showing habituation. If another stuffed owl is introduced (or the same one removed and re-introduced), the birds react to it again as though it were a predator, demonstrating that it is only a very specific stimulus that is habituated to (namely, one particular unmoving owl in one place). Habituation has been shown in essentially every species of animal, as well as the large protozoan Stentor coeruleus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stentor_coeruleus).[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-wood1988-4)
Sensitisation
Main article: Sensitisation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitisation)
Sensitisation is an example of non-associative learning in which the progressive amplification of a response follows repeated administrations of a stimulus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulation) (Bell et al., 1995)[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]. An everyday example of this mechanism is the repeated tonic stimulation of peripheral nerves that will occur if a person rubs his arm continuously. After a while, this stimulation will create a warm sensation that will eventually turn painful. The pain is the result of the progressively amplified synaptic response of the peripheral nerves warning the person that the stimulation is harmful.[clarification needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify)] Sensitization is thought to underlie both adaptive as well as maladaptive learning processes in the organism.
Associative learning
Associative learning is the process by which an association between two stimuli or a behavior and a stimulus is learned. The two forms of associative learning are classical and operant conditioning. In the former a previously neutral stimulus is repeatedly presented together with a reflex eliciting stimuli until eventually the neutral stimulus will elicit a response on its own. In operant conditioning a certain behavior is either reinforced or punished which results in an altered probability that the behavior will happen again. Honeybees display associative learning through the proboscis extension reflex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proboscis_extension_reflex) paradigm.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-bitterman-5)
Operant conditioning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning) is the use of consequences to modify the occurrence and form of behavior. Operant conditioning is distinguished from Pavlovian conditioning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning) in that operant conditioning uses reinforcement/punishment to alter an action-outcome association. In contrast Pavlovian conditioning involves strengthening of the stimulus-outcome association.
Elemental theories of associative learning argue that concurrent stimuli tend to be perceived as separate units rather than 'holistically' (i.e. as a single unit) [7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-6)
Behaviorism is a psychological movement that seeks to alter behavior by arranging the environment to elicit successful changes and to arrange consequences to maintain or diminish a behavior. Behaviorists study behaviors that can be measured and changed by the environment. However, they do not deny that there are thought processes that interact with those behaviors (see Relational Frame Theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_Frame_Theory) for more information).
Delayed discounting is the process of devaluing rewards based on the delay of time they are presented. This process is thought to be tied to impulsivity. Impulsivity is a core process for many behaviors (e.g., substance abuse, problematic gambling, OCD). Making decisions is an important part of everyday functioning. How we make those decisions is based on what we perceive to be the most valuable or worthwhile actions. This is determined by what we find to be the most reinforcing stimuli. So when teaching an individual a response, you need to find the most potent reinforcer for that person. This may be a larger reinforcer at a later time or a smaller immediate reinforcer.
Classical conditioning
Main article: Classical conditioning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning)
The typical paradigm for classical conditioning involves repeatedly pairing an unconditioned stimulus (which unfailingly evokes a reflexive response) with another previously neutral stimulus (which does not normally evoke the response). Following conditioning, the response occurs both to the unconditioned stimulus and to the other, unrelated stimulus (now referred to as the "conditioned stimulus"). The response to the conditioned stimulus is termed a conditioned response. The classic example is Pavlov and his dogs. Meat powder naturally will make a dog salivate when it is put into a dog's mouth; salivating is a reflexive response to the meat powder. Meat powder is the unconditioned stimulus (US) and the salivation is the unconditioned response (UR). Then Pavlov rang a bell before presenting the meat powder. The first time Pavlov rang the bell, the neutral stimulus, the dogs did not salivate, but once he put the meat powder in their mouths they began to salivate. After numerous pairings of the bell and the food the dogs learned that the bell was a signal that the food was about to come and began to salivate when the bell was rung. Once this occurred, the bell became the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the salivation to the bell became the conditioned response (CR).
Another influential person in the world of Classical Conditioning is John B. Watson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._Watson). Watson's work was very influential and paved the way for B. F. Skinner's radical behaviorism. Watson's behaviorism (and philosophy of science) stood in direct contrast to Freud. Watson's view was that Freud's introspective method was too subjective, and that we should limit the study of human development to directly observable behaviors. In 1913, Watson published the article "Psychology as the Behaviorist Views," in which he argued that laboratory studies should serve psychology best as a science. Watson's most famous, and controversial, experiment, "Little Albert," where he demonstrated how psychologists can account for the learning of emotion through classical conditioning principles.
Imprinting
Main article: Imprinting (psychology) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinting_%28psychology%29)
Imprinting is the term used in psychology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology) and ethology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. It was first used to describe situations in which an animal or person learns the characteristics of some stimulus, which is therefore said to be "imprinted" onto the subject.
Observational learning
Main article: Observational learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_learning)
The learning process most characteristic of humans is imitation; one's personal repetition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetition_%28learning%29) of an observed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observation) behavior, such as a dance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance). Humans can copy three types of information simultaneously: the demonstrator's goals, actions, and environmental outcomes (results, see Emulation (observational learning) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulation_%28observational_learning%29)). Through copying these types of information, (most) infants will tune into their surrounding culture.
Play
Main article: Play (activity) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_%28activity%29)
Play generally describes behavior which has no particular end in itself, but improves performance in similar situations in the future. This is seen in a wide variety of vertebrates besides humans, but is mostly limited to mammals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal) and birds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird). Cats are known to play with a ball of string when young, which gives them experience with catching prey. Besides inanimate objects, animals may play with other members of their own species or other animals, such as orcas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca) playing with seals they have caught. Play involves a significant cost to animals, such as increased vulnerability to predators (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator) and the risk of injury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injury) and possibly infection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infection). It also consumes energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy), so there must be significant benefits associated with play for it to have evolved. Play is generally seen in younger animals, suggesting a link with learning. However, it may also have other benefits not associated directly with learning, for example improving physical fitness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_fitness).
Enculturation
Enculturation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enculturation) is the process by which a person learns the requirements of their native culture by which he or she is surrounded, and acquires values and behaviors that are appropriate or necessary in that culture.[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-GrusecHastings-7) The influences which, as part of this process limit, direct or shape the individual, whether deliberately or not, include parents, other adults, and peers.[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-GrusecHastings-7) If successful, enculturation results in competence in the language, values and rituals of the culture.[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-GrusecHastings-7) (compare acculturation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acculturation), where a person is within a culture different to their normal culture, and learns the requirements of this different culture).
Episodic learning
Episodic learning is a change in behavior that occurs as a result of an event.[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-8) For example, a fear of dogs that follows being bitten by a dog is episodic learning. Episodic learning is so named because events are recorded into episodic memory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episodic_memory), which is one of the three forms of explicit learning and retrieval, along with perceptual memory and semantic memory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_memory).[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-9)
Multimedia learning
Multimedia learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_learning) is where a person uses both auditory and visual stimuli to learn information (Mayer 2001 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#CITEREFMayer2001)). This type of learning relies on dual-coding theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-coding_theory) (Paivio 1971 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#CITEREFPaivio1971)).
E-learning and augmented learning
Electronic learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_learning) or e-learning is a general term used to refer to Internet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet)-based networked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network) computer-enhanced learning. A specific and always more diffused e-learning is mobile learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_learning) (m-learning), which uses different mobile telecommunication equipment, such as cellular phones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_phone).
When a learner interacts with the e-learning environment, it's called augmented learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_learning). By adapting to the needs of individuals, the context-driven instruction can be dynamically tailored to the learner's natural environment. Augmented digital content may include text, images, video, audio (music and voice). By personalizing instruction, augmented learning has been shown to improve learning performance for a lifetime.[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-Augmented_Learning-10) See also Minimally Invasive Education (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_Invasive_Education).
Rote learning
Main article: Rote learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rote_learning)
Rote learning is a technique which avoids understanding the inner complexities and inferences of the subject that is being learned and instead focuses on memorizing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorizing) the material so that it can be recalled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recollection) by the learner exactly the way it was read or heard. The major practice involved in rote learning techniques is learning by repetition, based on the idea that one will be able to quickly recall the meaning of the material the more it is repeated. Rote learning is used in diverse areas, from mathematics to music to religion. Although it has been criticized by some schools of thought, rote learning is a necessity in many situations.
Meaningful learning
Meaningful learning refers to the concept that the learned knowledge (let's say a fact) is fully understood by the individual and that the individual knows how that specific fact relates to other stored facts (stored in your brain that is). For understanding this concept, it is good to contrast meaningful learning with the much less desirable, rote learning. Rote learning requires only that the individual remembers the information without any regard for understanding, in other words learning by rote allows the individual to recite facts without truly understanding them. Meaningful learning, on the other hand, implies there is a comprehensive knowledge of the context of the facts learned.[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#cite_note-11)
Informal learning
Main article: Informal learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informal_learning)
Informal learning occurs through the experience of day-to-day situations (for example, one would learn to look ahead while walking because of the danger inherent in not paying attention to where one is going). It is learning from life, during a meal at table with parents, play (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_%28activity%29), exploring, etc.
