Learning Disabilities

271
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.

Purposive Learning

203
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...

Language Development

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Cognitive Learning

513
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...

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

528
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:

  • Education
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Frequency building is an instructional method involving timed repetitions and corrective feedback.
  • Precision teaching measures individual performance on a standard celeration chart (SCC) for data-driven decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of synchronous teaching in training caregivers to implement frequency building for sight word identification.
  • To evaluate learner performance using precision teaching methods implemented by caregivers in an in-home setting.

Main Methods:

  • A case study design was employed.
  • Caregivers received synchronous instruction on frequency building techniques.
  • Young learners' sight word identification was tracked using standard celeration charts (SCC).

Main Results:

  • Synchronous teaching is a feasible method for training caregivers in precision teaching.
  • Learner performance data indicated progress in sight word identification.
  • Procedural fidelity during teaching trials requires careful monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • Synchronous teaching can empower caregivers to implement effective instructional strategies at home.
  • Precision teaching, when implemented with fidelity, supports skill acquisition in young learners.
  • Optimizing teaching methods and ensuring procedural fidelity are key for successful in-home interventions.
