LEARNING AND TEACHING- CLASS 14.02.2023

In Russia, he studied physiology and discovered the basic learning process called classical conditioning.

• John Locke

• Ivan Pavlov

• Sigmund Freud

• Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky

Thorndike said that animals don’t learn through imitation but through-

• Observation

• Stimulus

• Animals can't learn

• Explanation

The Law of effect by Edward Thorndike was tested for the first time in-

• A monkey

• A horse

• A cat

• A dog

The main characteristic of the law of effect is-

• Learning by a traditional class

• Learning by practicing or repeating something while having stimulation to do anything or to learn

• Learning by making whatever they want to do

• Learning by having animals inside the classroom

A way to implement the law of effect as a future teacher in our classroom may be

• Given students a punishment after doing a task

• Make a traditional environment inside the classroom

• Providing stimulus to students

• Do not give a reward to learners in any situation

Which of the following was a major implication of Thorndike's Puzzle Box?

• S-R Theory is entirely wrong

• Pavlov was incorrect about classical conditioning

• Trial and error informs the relationship between stimulus and response

• Animals learn only through contiguity

The theory of E. L. Thorndike reveals that the most characteristic form of learning in both lower animals and men is:

• Instrumental Conditioning

• Classical Conditioning

• Insightful Learning

• Trial and Error Learning

Negative reinforcement involves the termi­nation of a pleasant situation while punishment involves causing an unpleasant condition in an attempt to eliminate:

• Any response

• Desirable Behaviour

• Undesirable Behaviour

• Any stimulus

“A psychologist applied a technique which was found very much effective in case of the not-so-young children who used to wet their beds every night. These children were made to sleep on especially-designed cots which emitted mild shock as soon as they tried to wet the bed. This gradually led to the unlearning of this habit.”

• Successive Approximation

• Aversive Therapy

• Reward Expectancy

• Effective Reaction

“Sometimes the patients who are phobic to rats or snakes are suddenly made to touch live snakes or rats (which are harmless) rather than asking them first imagine the objects of their phobias. This method includes on trial learning or unlearning.” Which method is this?

• Aversive Therapy

• Place Learning

• Flooding or Impulsive Therapy

• Insightful Learning
