B.F. Skinner expanded this by focusing on consequences . Here, learning occurs through reinforcement and punishment. If a behavior is followed by a reward (reinforcement), it is likely to be repeated; if followed by an unpleasant outcome (punishment), it diminishes. This "feedback loop" is the basis for everything from habit formation to workplace productivity. 2. The Cognitive Perspective: Mental Processing
Through "modeling," individuals watch the actions of others and the resulting consequences. This involves four key steps: (noticing the behavior), retention (remembering it), reproduction (performing it), and motivation (having a reason to do it). This theory explains how culture, language, and social norms are passed down through generations. 4. Factors Influencing the Process Psy 103 Learning Process
The distinction between intrinsic (internal satisfaction) and extrinsic (external rewards) motivation. If a behavior is followed by a reward
Factors like prior knowledge, cognitive disabilities, and even sleep hygiene significantly impact the rate of acquisition. Conclusion retention (remembering it)
