| verbal learning | Learning to respond verbally to a verbal stimulus cue. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| maze learning | Learning the correct route through a maze to obtain reinforcement. It is used for human or animal populations. (12 Dec 1998) |
| passive learning | Learning without a direct attempt. Synonym: passive learning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reversal learning | Any situation where an animal or human is trained to respond differentially to two stimuli (e.g., approach and avoidance) under reward and punishment conditions and subsequently trained under reversed reward values (i.e., the approach which was previously rewarded is punished and vice versa). (12 Dec 1998) |
| rote learning | The learning of arbitrary relationships, usually by repetition of the learning procedure through memorization and without an understanding of the relationships. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complex learning processes | Those process's that require the use of symbolic manipulations, as in reasoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| probability learning | Usually refers to the use of mathematical models in the prediction of learning to perform tasks based on the theory of probability applied to responses; it may also refer to the frequency of occurrence of the responses observed in the particular study. (12 Dec 1998) |
| problem-based learning | Instructional use of examples or cases to teach using problem-solving skills and critical thinking. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serial learning | Learning to make a series of responses in exact order. (12 Dec 1998) |
| state-dependent learning | Learning during a specific state of sleep or wakefulness, or during a chemically altered state, where retrieval of learned information (e.g., as measured by performance of a learned response) cannot be demonstrated unless the subject is restored to the state that originally existed during learning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discrimination learning | Learning that is manifested in the ability to respond differentially to various stimuli. (12 Dec 1998) |
| incidental learning | Learning without a direct attempt. Synonym: passive learning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| insight learning | The grasp of the solution to a problem without the intervening series of the trial and error steps that are associated with most types of learning (e.g., a monkey housed behind the bars of a cage who, without proceeding through countless hours of futile attempts with one stick or the other, fits two sticks together to retrieve a banana outside the distance measured by either stick alone). (05 Mar 2000) |
| latent learning | That learning which is not evident to the observer at the time it occurs, but which is inferred from later performance in which learning is more rapid than would be expected without the earlier experience. (05 Mar 2000) |
| learning | 1. The acquisition of knowledge or skill; as, the learning of languages; the learning of telegraphy. 2. The knowledge or skill received by instruction or study; acquired knowledge or ideas in any branch of science or literature; erudition; literature; science; as, he is a man of great learning. Book learning. See Book. Synonym: Literature, erudition, lore, scholarship, science, letters. See Literature. Origin: AS. Leornung. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
