Learning

  • Insight vs Latent vs Observational Learning: Insight - sudden realization of a solution; Latent - learning without reinforcement; Observational - learning by observing others.

  • Classical Conditioning: Learning by association.

  • Cognition: Mental processes like thinking, memory, problem-solving.

  • Heuristics: Mental shortcuts.

  • Proactive vs Retroactive Interference: Proactive - old memories interfere with new; Retroactive - new memories interfere with old.

  • Convergent vs Divergent Thinking: Convergent - finding one correct answer; Divergent - generating multiple solutions.

  • Automatic Processing: Unconscious encoding of information.

  • Functional Fixedness: Inability to see objects as having multiple uses.

  • Yerkes-Dodson Law: Performance increases with arousal, but only up to a point.
