    Operant conditioning is a form of learning in which behaviour is controlled by giving a reward or reinforcement. The essence of operant conditioning can be seen in Skinner’s (1938) experiment with his ‘skinner boxes’. His theory arises from Thorndike’s (1874-1949) theory in instrumental learning. Thorndike suggested that learning could take place through trial and error. Both Thorndike and Skinner (1938) concentrate on the effects of behaviour whilst Pavlov’s study focuses on behaviours themselves.…

    Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist that experimented in psychology after he accidentally found a peculiar behavior in dogs that he was performing tests on. He had initially been testing to see how much dogs would salivate when food was presented, but when he found that the dogs began to salivate with no food present at all he began to study their behavior. “Unlike the salivary response to the presentation of food, which is an unconditioned reflex, salivating to the expectation of food is a conditioned reflex.”(Cherry 2012) Pavlov chose a metronome as a neutral stimulus to test his findings, a stimulus that in and of itself has no influence over a dog’s salivary…

    Learning Theory

    • 7 Pages

    In psychology and education, learning is commonly defined as a process that brings together cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences and experiences for acquiring, enhancing, or making changes in one's knowledge, skills, values, and world views (Illeris, 2000; Ormorod, 1995). Learning as a process focuses on what happens when the learning takes place. Explanations of what happens constitute learning theories. A learning theory is an attempt to describe how people and animals learn, thereby helping us understand the inherently complex process of learning. Learning theories have two chief values according to Hill (2002). One is in providing us with vocabulary and a conceptual framework for interpreting the examples of learning that we observe. The other is in suggesting where to look for solutions to practical problems. The theories do not give us solutions, but they do direct our attention to those variables that are crucial in finding solutions.…
