Basic Learning Mechanisms
In operant conditioning, we are trying to change behavior through this mechanism.
Consequences (Negative and Positive)
This is when our brains stop learning.
Never
This is a variety of instructional techniques used to move students progressively toward stronger understanding and greater independence in the learning process.
Scaffolding
This is the least effective long-term memory storage process.
Rehearsal or Rote Learning
When we first learn about a topic, we focus on surface similarities but as we learn more, we slowly get better at seeing deeper similarities. This is called the _________ _________.
Relational Shift
This is the process in which the brain removes neurons and synapses that it does not need.
Synaptic Pruning
In the Socio-cultural Learning model, tasks that learners can complete with help is called this.
This is where we want to focus our teaching.
Zone of Proximal Devleopment
These are the four elements of purposeful practice.
You have to name all four.
Well-defined goals; Focused Practice; Immediate Feedback; Consistent Challenge
As we assimilate new information, it either fits into our schema, which means we maintain _________. But if it does not fit into our schema it causes ___________. We then have to accommodate this new information
Equilibrium; Disequilibrium
This is the emotional processing center of our brain and is more active in teenage brains. This is why teens act before they think.
Amygdala
In the Psycho-Social Theory the goal is to have a balance between these two opposing forces.
Self; Others
(Psycho; Society)
Of the four main types of attention. Being able to focus on particular aspects of an experience while ignoring others is the first one.
Intrinsic motivation (feeling self-determined) is more likely when these three basic conditions are met. You need all three.
Autonomy; Competence; Relatedness
According to the Atkinson Shiffrin Computer Model, encoding, storage and retrieval happen between these two types of memory.
Working; Long-term
Kholberg's theory of moral development progress through these three stages over time. Name all three.
Pre-conventional; Conventional; Post-conventional
The Habit Cycle includes these three things.
Trigger-->Behavior-->Reward
This is a "dumb" process, we don't have to try and do it. It's a a tabulator and nothing more. Even worms can do this.
Statistical Learning
Reperception, meshing, and suppression are the 3 key ideas behind this learning mechanism.
Embodied Cognition
These are the four process involved in successful observational learning. Name 3 of the 4.
Motivation; Attention; Motor Reproduction; Retention
Of the working styles, this animal is the most valuable.
They are all equally valuable.
