    Assignment: Learning

    Learning
    Learning is a key process in human behavior. All living is learning. If we compare
    the simple, crude ways in which a child feels and behaves, with the complex
    modes of adult behavior, his skills, habits, thought, sentiments and the like- we
    will know what difference learning has made to the individual.

    Learning is defined as “Any relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs


    as a result of practice and experience”. This definition has three important
    elements.

    a) Learning is a change in behavior—better or worse.


    b) It is a change that takes place through practice or experience, but changes
    due to growth or maturation are not learning.
    c) This change in behavior must be relatively permanent, and it must last a
    fairly long time.

    Types of Learning
    What activities are learned by the individual refer to types of learning. For
    example, habits, skills, facts, etc. There are different types of learning. Some of
    the important and common learning activities are following:
    1) Motor learning
    2) Verbal learning
    3) Concept learning
    4) Discrimination learning
    5) Learning of principles
    6) Problem solving
    7) Attitude learning

    Motor learning
    Most of our activities in our day-to-days life refer to motor activities. The
    individual has to learn them in order to maintain his regular life, for example
    walking, running, skating, driving, climbing, etc. All these activities involve the
    muscular coordination.

    Verbal learning
    This type of learning involves the language we speak, the communication devices
    we use. Signs, pictures, symbols, words, figures, sounds, etc., are the tools used in
    such activities. We use words for communication.

    Concept learning
    It is the form of learning which requires higher order mental processes like
    thinking, reasoning, intelligence, etc. we learn different concepts from childhood.
    For example, when we see a dog and attach the term ‘dog’, we learn that the
    word dog refers to a particular animal. Concept learning involves two processes,
    viz. abstraction and generalization. This learning is very useful in recognizing,
    identifying things.

    Discrimination learning
    Learning to differentiate between stimuli and showing an appropriate response to
    these stimuli is called discrimination learning. Example, sound horns of different
    vehicles like bus, car, ambulance, etc.

    Learning of principles
    Individuals learn certain principles related to science, mathematics, grammar, etc.
    in order to manage their work effectively. These principles always show the
    relationship between two or more concepts. Example: formulae, laws,
    associations, correlations, etc.

    Problem solving
    This is a higher order learning process. This learning requires the use of cognitive
    abilities-such as thinking, reasoning, observation, imagination, generalization, etc.
    This is very useful to overcome difficult problems encountered by the people.

    Attitude learning
    Attitude is a predisposition which determines and directs our behavior. We
    develop different attitudes from our childhood about the people, objects and
    everything we know. Our behavior may be positive or negative depending upon
    our attitudes. Example: attitudes of nurse towards her profession, patients, etc.
