Relationship Formation

40.3K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Observational Learning

259
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...

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...

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...

Associative Learning01:27

Associative Learning

503
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:

  • Computer Science
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Online social networks (OSNs) rely on effective friend recommendation for user engagement.
  • Existing recommendation systems often overlook users' detailed and changing interests, leading to suboptimal suggestions.
  • The online learning community has a specific need for effective learning partner recommendations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance friend recommendation in OSNs by incorporating fine-grained, evolving user interests.
  • To develop a recommendation framework tailored for online learning communities to facilitate better learning partnerships.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a learning partner recommendation framework based on the evolution of fine-grained learning interest (LPRF-E).
  • Extracted time-varying learning interest tags to predict evolving interests.
  • Recommended learning partners based on fine-grained interest similarity and incorporated social influence (LPRF-F).

Main Results:

  • Achieved significant improvements in recommendation accuracy, with approximately 50% increases in precision and recall.
  • Demonstrated the ability to recommend learning partners who are more experienced and helpful.
  • Validated the effectiveness of the proposed models on two real-world datasets.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed LPRF-E and LPRF-F models effectively address the limitations of existing systems by considering fine-grained and evolving user interests.
  • The framework enhances the quality of friend recommendations, particularly in specialized OSNs like online learning communities.
  • Improved friend recommendation can lead to better learning outcomes and increased platform attractiveness.
