02
Definition of Learning Skinner- Progressive behavior adoption
Crow &Crow-Acquisition of habits, knowledge and attitude
R.S. Woodworth-doing something new provided the new activity is reinforced and can reappear in later activities
Hilgard & Atkinson-relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of practice
S.S. Mathur-process of acquiring the appropriate responses<br>
03
Thus learning is…. a relatively permanent change in response potentiality which occurs as a function of reinforced practice<br>
04
Learning and Related concepts Learning and reflex action
Learning and imprinting
Learning and maturation
Learning and performance<br>
05
General Characteristics of Learning It is an enduring change in behaviour
It involves cumulative experience
It is dynamic
Influences all aspects of human development-social, emotional and cognitive
It is based on incentives
It is target oriented
Byproduct of maturation and experience<br>
1-Cognitive Learning Gaining of information, memorization, ability to perceive relationships between different ideas ,explaining phenomenon in different ways etc.
Cognitive learning enables us to function at high levels of complexity and efficiency<br>

Generalization of concepts is attained through attribute analysis ,selection and comparison<br>
12
6-Principle Learning Common features are identified and generalized in discrimination learning common relationships are noted and generalized in principle learning
Principles have applicability and are used in problem solving and have scope for transfer to parallel situation<br>
