Psychology ~ Learning!

Hello To, All My Readers Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

I hope all of you are keeping well. Today I thought of writing about Psychology of Learning. I hope You all will like and learn some new information also.

What is the psychology of learning?

The psychology of learning encompasses a range of topics focused on how people learn and how they interact with the environments in which they learn. It is generally defined as a relatively permanent change in behaviour as a result of experience. The psychology of learning helps researchers, educators and employers understand learning processes and how they work. Psychologists agree that different methods of learning exist, and some people may find certain learning methods easier than others. Differentiating between the approaches to learning can help you understand how the environment can influence the way people learn.

What is the psychology of learning?

The psychology of learning is a field of science that encompasses theories about how psychology relates to the ways people learn. Scientists have created many theories about learning based on different disciplines, including:

Behaviorism
Neuroscience
Social cognition
Social constructivism

What is psychology in theory of learning?

Learning theory in psychology attempts to understand what influences knowledge accumulation, retention, and development over time. While there are many theories, the five main learning theories are behavioral, cognitive, constructive, social, and experiential. Have you ever heard of the learning theory? The learning theory describes how to retain knowledge during learning. Cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences shape a person’s worldview. Behaviorists see learning as an effect of conditioning and an advocate system throughout their education. Obtaining knowledge should be a unique and productive experience for everyone.

What is behavioral learning theory?

Behavioral learning theory, the first and most prominent perspective of the psychology of learning, is a concept that focuses on how observable events in a person’s external environment impact how they learn new behaviors. Early behaviorists looked for an alternative to relying on internal feelings and memories to describe how and why people learn the way they do. They felt a measurable, observable method would make studying the topic more approachable and reliable. It is to advance the theory, and to implement behavioral learning techniques

A style of learning refers to an individual’s preferred way to absorb, process, comprehend and retain information. The most simple way of describing ‘learning styles’ is to say that they are different methods of learning or understanding new information, the way a person takes in, understand, expresses and remembers information. There are 4 predominant learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Read and Write, and (Kinaesthetic) kinesthetic is learning links the process of learning to physical activity. It is a learning style during which the learner has to feel or move in order to learn more effectively.

Concluding Comments

The behaviorist perspective was historically a main line of development in the psychology of learning and played a significant role in the study of language learning in the 1950s and 1960s. The cognitive perspective became influential in research on learning and cognition in the 1970s, while recent developments like connectionism and sociocognitive (Think of a time that you have learned a skill or behavior from observing another person) research continue to vitalize the study of language learning. The sociocultural perspective is the youngest of the three, but defines an area of educational research with vital activity during the last decades.

In their broad review of the field of learning and cognition, and to discuss potential future developments and relationships between these theoretical perspectives. One possibility is that the different views will live side by side, complementing each other and analyzing processes of learning at different levels. Another possibility is a somewhat more competitive relation among the perspectives, in which one perspective can provide a kind of synthesis of the others. One theoretical question for the study of how language is learned and how it impacts literacy and academic learning will be the continuing clarification of relations among research perspectives.

Psychology ~ Psychology!

Hello To, All My Readers Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

I hope all of you are keeping well. Today I thought of writing about Psychology of Psychology. Strange it may sound but suddenly it came to my mind. Let me see how the article will go 🙂

Psychology Officially started as a Discipline in 1879 when the first Psychology lab was established in the University of Leipzig, in Germany.

What is Psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study, analysis, and investigation of behavior and mental processes. Psychologists actively study and understand human cognitive processes, and behavior.

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Why study Psychology? The study will give you new ways to look at and interpret your world and the people who inhabit it.

The world of psychology contains looks and tones and feelings; it is the world of dark and light, of noise and silence, of rough and smooth; its space is sometimes large and sometimes small, as everyone knows who in adult life has gone back to his or her home; its time is sometimes short and sometimes long, It contains all the thoughts, emotions, memories, and imaginations,

The Scope of Psychology

As psychology has evolved as a science, its fields of specialization have multiplied and its educational and training requirements have become formalized. Psychologists work in a variety of fields in academic and professional settings. Psychology should be the chief basic science upon which the practices of education depend. It should have supplied education with the information it needs concerning the processes of understanding, learning, and thinking, among other things. One of the difficulties has been that such theory as has been developed has been based primarily upon studies of behaviors.

Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that examines personality and its variation among individuals. It aims to show how people are individually different due to psychological forces. Its areas of focus include:

Describing what personality is
Documenting how personalities develop
Explaining the mental processes of personality and how they affect functioning
Providing a framework for understanding individuals

“Personality” is a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by an individual that uniquely influences their environment, cognition, emotions, motivations, and behaviors in various situations. The word personality originates from the Latin persona. Personality also pertains to the pattern of thoughts, feelings, social adjustments, and behaviors persistently exhibited over time that strongly influences one’s expectations, self-perceptions, values, and attitudes. Personality also predicts human reactions to other people, problems, and stress. described two major ways to study personality psychology is an attempt to understand the unique aspects of a particular individual. The biggest misconception (wrong thinking) about psychology is that it is not big (rigorous) enough to tackle the big, “important” questions because its methods as a field are limited. While psychology continues to be an important source of insights about human nature and potential, as a young and growing science it faces pressure from all sides to prove its worth.

Clinical psychology is a people’s science, behavioral science, theory, and clinical knowledge for the purpose of understanding, preventing, and relieving psychologically-based distress and to promote subjective well-being and personal development. Central to its practice are psychological assessment, and psychotherapy, although clinical psychologists also engage in research, teaching, consultation, and program development and administration. In many countries, clinical psychology is a regulated mental health profession. All the lessons of psychiatry, psychology, social work, indeed culture, have taught us over the last hundred years that it is the acceptance of differences, not the search for similarities which enables people to relate to each other in their personal or family lives.

Organizational psychologists work with people and organizations. They are experts in areas such as leadership and talent management, recruitment, performance management, occupational health and safety, change management and career development. The Master of Organizational Psychology will provide you with the skills, knowledge and qualifications to work in a wide range of organizations such as consultancies, large companies and government departments. The practical basis of the medical profession rested on psychology. Everyone felt better when self-confident, when Doctors relieved others of the responsibility for deciding what to do. As such, their role was strictly medical.

Educational Psychology: Applied Psychologists working in education study the social, emotional and cognitive processes involved in learning and apply their findings to improve the learning process. Education in all fields are necessary. Education is the Key to unlock the Golden Door to Freedom! When you focus on the Good and the Possibilities You will have more Opportunities.

Health psychology is the study of psychological and behavioral processes in health, and healthcare. The discipline is concerned with understanding how psychological, behavioral, and cultural factors contribute to physical healthy. Psychological factors can affect health directly. Behavioral factors can also affect a person’s health. To enhance (engaging in exercise) health. Health psychologists understand health to be the product not only of biological but also of psychological (e.g., thoughts and beliefs), behavioral (e.g., habits), and social processes .Education in all fields are necessary.

Environmental psychology is a branch of psychology that explores the relationship between people and the external world. It examines the way in which the natural environment and our built environments shape us as individuals. Environmental psychology emphasizes how people change the environment and how the environment changes people’s experiences and behaviors.

Cognitive Psychology: Cognitive psychology is the scientific study of mental processes such as attention, language use, memory, perception, problem solving, creativity, and reasoning and to explain human behavior.
