Learning Theories

“Go out into the real world and be a passive observer. This could be at a playground, at a dog training center, at a daycare, out in nature, anywhere you can observe one of the learning theories we’ve discussed so far in this course out in the real world. Accurately describe the learning theory in action, label the components, and tie it back in with research from cited journal articles. You’ll be writing this in APA format, and using an introduction and conclusion. If you observe multiple learning theories in one scenario, you are welcome to mention the others as well, as it pertains to the situation. Be sure to be thorough and accurate with your descriptions and observations and be able to tie them into the topics we have covered thus far. 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double spaced, APA style.”

Topics discussed:
From the earliest research of Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov, in 1890 with his salivating dog studies, to the most recent studies on adult learning; science has gathered so much data about how information is absorbed and applied, as well as how our behaviors and thoughts are shaped along the way. Over the years, several theories have been formed concerning:
How we learn new information
How our behaviors and thought patterns develop
How information is stored, retrieved, and applied
The Behaviorism Theory of Learning was the first learning theory developed by doctors and psychologists between the late 1800s and the early 1900s when Pavlov first discovered that he could manipulate the triggers that caused his dog to salivate.
aversive control. and the Cognitivism Theory of Learning, based on ideas from the Information Processing Theory developed by psychologist, George Miller, in 1956 as well as from Jean Piagets Theory of Cognitive Development formed in 1936.
basics of the Constructivism Theory of Learning which was largely influenced by the ideas of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky.
