Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness01:14

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.5K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Learning Disabilities

579
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.

Associative Learning01:27

Associative Learning

1.3K
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...

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Observational Learning01:12

Observational Learning

853
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

980
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education Technology
  • Clinical Dentistry
  • Mobile Learning

Background:

  • Smartphone technology is transforming clinical dental education.
  • Understanding student and tutor experiences with electronic learning is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate challenges, opportunities, and attitudes towards electronic learning among dental students and tutors.
  • To assess the use of mobile learning tools and internet information access in clinical dental education.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 undergraduate dental students and 6 faculty members.
  • Interviews explored information searching, mobile learning usage, barriers, evidence-based information perception, and attitudes towards e-learning tools.

Main Results:

  • Both students and tutors reported active engagement with mobile learning tools.
  • Students need enhanced training in searching, evaluating, and synthesizing online evidence-based information.
  • Tutors require familiarization with e-learning tools to effectively support students.

Conclusions:

  • Training workshops are necessary to equip students with skills to differentiate between evidence-based and non-evidence-based information apps.
  • Tutors need guidance on advising students regarding mobile technology use in clinical dental settings.
  • Institutions must address these challenges to optimize mobile learning integration in clinical dentistry.
