Learning Disabilities

304
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.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

1.9K
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...

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

4.4K
In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Cognitive Learning

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...

Long-term Depression01:05

Long-term Depression

31.9K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Public Health
  • Economics

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented disruption to global education systems.
  • Concerns have arisen regarding the impact on student learning progress and potential learning loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and consolidate evidence on student learning loss between March 2020 and March 2021.
  • To document findings reported in the existing literature regarding the educational impact of the pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review methodology was employed.
  • Analysis focused on eight studies documenting learning loss evidence from March 2020 to March 2021.

Main Results:

  • Seven out of eight studies found evidence of student learning loss.
  • One study noted learning gains in a specific subgroup, while another found overall learning gains.
  • Four studies indicated increased educational inequality, with certain demographics disproportionately affected.

Conclusions:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrably impacted student learning, with learning loss being a prevalent outcome.
  • Significant increases in educational inequality were observed, necessitating targeted interventions.
  • Further research is crucial to expand the scope, geographical representation, and sample sizes of studies on pandemic-related learning loss.
