(25 points) • The main paradigms used to study motor learning are response variability and random vs. block practice. Response variability and random vs. block practice are techniques of motor learning that incorporate variations. 3. Describe the different ways in which one can manipulate KR for memory development and provide possible explanations. (25 points) 4.
The important influence of behaviors on learning can be studied by the behavior that occurs after learning has been initiated or stored. Behavior and learning are codependent on each other. Behavior is observable, and this makes the process of learning more easily observable as well. The two types of behavioral learning have aided in understanding the concepts involved in improved learning through conditioning. These new realizations have been converted into the classrooms to better educate students.
165) Learning is an active process which leads to the creation of schemas. Schemas are concepts or ideas of what things are. Schemas are constructed as we encounter new experiences and engage in the process of adaptation. (instructor, ch.6 notes). The process begins with the equilibrium which is thrown off by a new experience.
Discuss the development of perceptual abilities. Include examples from infant and cross cultural studies in your answer (8+16) The development of perceptual abilities is explained through whether the ability is innate, which would be nature, or whether they are learned, which would be nurture. Thus forming the nature vs nurture debate. There are 2 theories of perception: Gregory’s top down indirect theory and Gibson’s bottom up direct theory. The top down theory states that our mind generates expectations about what we are looking at and these expectations help us make sense of the mass information that reaches our eyes.
Where have you used, or come across, good examples of inclusive learning? Why were they effective? Discuss organisational and individual learner factors that could influence or impact on your choice of teaching and learning strategies. When explaining how to select resources to meet the needs of learners, you will need to identify the resources that are available to you. How do these resources meet the needs of your learners?
Running head: THE MEMORY PROCESS The Memory Process Patanisha Andrews Psych/550 May 2, 2011 Gaston Weisz The Memory Process The basic memory process is encoding information into memory. Memory is the ability to encode, store and recall information. The three main processes of memory involve encoding, storage and recall. The three types of codes are acoustic (sounds), visual (images or pictures) and semantic (meaningful). Memory is stored and retained overtime then the information is retrieved from the memory when needed.
Followed by two different types of learning, instrumental, and classical. Finally, we will conclude with the relationship between cognition and learning. When someone usually explains what learning is, the answer usually is described as the way to gather information, we way a person comprehends, or master’s something from experience or by his or her studies. Psychologist think that the common definition is vague and does not fully define the findings of scientist and observable behavior (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2013). Learning is used to assist in the process of adapting to his or her environment (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2013).
P1 – explain the principal physiological perspectives There are different physiological perspectives which relates to the normal functioning of a human being. Some of the perspectives I will be talking about are Cognitive, Biological, Social learning, Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Behaviourists. Cognitive/information processing perspective – This perspective understands the way in which we process information, the internal process of their mind. This theory talks about the way that perception, attention, memory, language and thinking in humans, human intelligence and thinking and problem solving. This theory is discovering ways to learn more about the processes that underlie our ability to represent information about the world in memory, how language works and how we solve problems and also how we learn things.

Running header: Flashbulb Memories The Psychology of Flashbulb Memories Anthony E. McCaffity Walden University Cognitive Psychology (PSYC-8237-2) Instructor: Dr. Michael Durnam November 20, 2011 Abstract Thinking incorporates a vast set of cognitive processes employed to facilitate learning and the subsequent development of behavior. Cognitive psychology focuses on the mental processes utilized for human beings to engage and function in their environment. Memory is one of the cognitive processes influencing thought and mental acuity. A process of that includes encoding specific information to respond to a stimulus. Memory is also the process of simultaneously using newly acquired information to accomplish differing cognitive
