Cognitive Learning

1.5K
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Learning Disabilities

718
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Social Facilitation

36.7K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Associative Learning01:27

Associative Learning

1.7K
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Area of Science:

  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
  • Symbolic communication research
  • Learning sciences

Background:

  • Blissymbols are a semantic graphic system used in AAC.
  • Understanding factors influencing Blissymbol acquisition is crucial for effective AAC intervention.
  • Previous research has not fully explored the interplay of symbol characteristics and instructional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess how symbol translucency and complexity impact Blissymbol learning.
  • To compare the efficacy of computer-based instruction (CBI) versus traditional teacher-based instruction (TBI) for Blissymbol identification.
  • To analyze the combined effects of symbol design and instructional approach on learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A single-subject alternating treatment design was employed.
  • Three students with communication disorders participated in the study.
  • Participants learned 40 Blissymbols using both CBI and TBI, with symbol translucency and complexity as key variables.

Main Results:

  • Blissymbols with higher translucency were acquired significantly faster across all participants.
  • Symbol complexity facilitated learning with high translucency but impeded it with low translucency.
  • These effects were consistent regardless of whether computer-based or teacher-based instruction was used.

Conclusions:

  • Both computer-based and teacher-based instruction are effective for teaching Blissymbols.
  • Symbol translucency is a critical factor for efficient Blissymbol acquisition.
  • Instructional design should consider symbol characteristics like translucency and complexity for optimal AAC outcomes.
