2. Social learning theory
3. Information-processing theory
4. Constructivism
5. Sociocultural theory
Behaviorism Theory of Learning that focuses on Understanding Antecedents and
Consequences
Learning by Association Early behaviorist theories focused on the principle of ________
Learning by Association Learning that occurs when two or more sensations occur together often enough,
they become associated.
Classical Conditioning Behavioral conditioning that occurs when automatic and reflexive responses to
stimuli become associated with new stimuli that previously had no effect.
Operant Conditioning Behavioral conditioning that occurs as a result of the consequences of behavior.
Classroom Management Behaviorist theories and tenets are most often applied to ________.
Behaviorists ________ theorists that argue that because thought processes cannot be directly
observed and measured, it is difficult to study thinking objectively and
scientifically.
1. People's behaviors (responses) Behaviorism's focus on 2 things that researchers can observe and measure
2. Environmental events (stimuli, reinforcement) that
precede and follow those responses
, Behaviorism Theory that focuses on learning that is viewed as a process of acquiring and
modifying associations among stimuli and responses, largely through a learner's
direct interactions with the environment.
Social Learning Theory Theory of learning that focuses on Learning By Watching Others
Social Learning Theory Theory of learning that Expanded on early behaviorist theories, including new
emphasis on vicarious reinforcement and modeling.
Bandura Social Learning Theorist ______ argued that observational learning required that
children pay attention to certain behaviors and their consequences and be
motivated to repeat those behaviors.
Social Learning Theory Theory of learning that Includes cognitive factors in learning and their resulting
expansion that is also known as social cognitive theory
Social cognitive theorists ______ theorists suggest that reinforcers and punishers create expectations, which
then influence behavior.
Social Cognitive Theory Teachers use principles of ______ theory when they clearly specify classroom rules
(expected behaviors that will be reinforced and violations that will be punished)
Social Learning Theorists ______ theorist focus on the ways in which people learn from observing one
another.
Social Learning Theorists _____ theorists believe that people learn through modeling when they watch and
imitate what others do.
Social learning theorists ______ theorists believe that whether people learn and perform effectively is a
function of their self-efficacy
Self-Efficacy The extent to which they believe they can successfully accomplish a particular
task or activity.
Self-Regulation When people take charge of and direct their own actions.
thought processes in learning In recent years social learning theory has increasingly considered the role of
________, and so it is sometimes called social cognitive theory.
Information-Processing Theory Theory of learning that focuses on the Conceptions of Memory and Cognitive
Processes
1. Sensory register 3 Major Components of Human Memory
2. Working memory/Short-term memory
3. Long-term memory
Sensory Register Component of human memory that holds the unprocessed information that our
senses bring in from the environment that is held for a very short time.
