- dynamic process of change that occurs in the physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and emotional constitution and make-up of an individual which starts from the time of conception to death (from womb to tomb)
- use several senses
- a coherent framework and set of integrated constructs and principles that describe, explain, or predict how people learn, how learning occurs, and what motivates people to learn and change
- major learning theories that are widely used in patient education and health care practice
- proponent of the behaviorist theory which emphasizes the importance of observable behavior in the study of human beings
- John B. Watson defined behavior as muscle movement and it came to be associated with the:
- Respondent Conditioning:
- process which influences the acquisition of new responses to environmental stimuli
- used in psychology and medicine to reduce fear and anxiety in the patient
- tendency to apply to other similar stimuli what was initially learned
- usually applied in Relapse Prevention Programs (RPP) and explain why it is quite difficult to completely eliminate "unhealthy habits and addictive behaviors" which one may claim having successfully "kicked the habit" or extinguished it only to find out that it may recover or reappear any time, even years later
- developed by B. F. Skinner which focuses on the behavior of the organism and the reinforcement that follows after the response
- events that strengthen responses, one of the most powerful tools or procedures used in teaching and is a major condition for most learning to take place
- more than knowledge acquisition, stresses that mental processes or cognition occur between the stimulus response
- states that there are various types of talent or seven forms of intelligence which may all be fully developed in a gifted person or child
- 7 types of intelligence (gardner):
- birth to 2 years, determined basically on actual perception of the senses and the external or physical factors
- marks the development of memory for the nursing object who is usually the mother; what and where it is seen for the first time still exists even though it disappears
- represents reality using symbols that can be manipulated mentally
- more systematic, scientific
- characterized by hypothesis testing
- self - reflection wherein ideas and imaginations are tried out to be aware of existing realities
- emphasize the importance of environmental or situational determinants of behavior and their continuing interaction
- "environmental conditions shape behavior through learning and the person's behavior, in return, shapes their environment"
- occurs vigorously, even in infants, where the individual learns of the consequences of a behavior by observing another person undergoing the experience
- determine what a person can do and what he or she can attend to
- determine how experience is encoded or retained in memory
- determine what behavior can be performed
- determine the circumstances under which learning is translated into performance
- refers to various skills
- experiences that are retained and categorized by the individual
- what a person considers as worth having or accomplishing
- people have different standard and rules for regulating their behavior
- art and science of helping children learn
- art and science of helping adults learn
- conditioned response type of learning
- involves developing a voluntary response to a specific stimulus or combination of stimuli
- acquisition of a series of related conditioned responses or stimulus response connections
- a type of chaining and is easily recognized in the process of learning medical terminology
- a great deal can be learned through forming large numbers of stimulus-response or verbal chains
