Thorndike's connectionism o 4.1.2 Maior theoretical notions Learning is incremental not insightful o Learning occurs in very small systematic steps rather than in huge jumps o Learning is not mediated by ideas o Learning is direct and is not mediated by thin king or reasonIng. all mammals learn in the same manner o Learning of all mammals, including human followed the same laws. No special processes need to be postulated when one is attempting to explain human learning
Thorndike’s Connectionism ⚫ 4.1.2 Major theoretical notions ⚫ ﹡Learning is incremental ,not insightful ⚫ Learning occurs in very small systematic steps rather than in huge jumps. ⚫ ﹡Learning is not mediated by ideas ⚫ Learning is direct and is not mediated by thinking or reasoning. ⚫ ﹡all mammals learn in the same manner ⚫ Learning of all mammals, including human, followed the same laws. No special processes need to be postulated when one is attempting to explain human learning
Thorndike's Connectionism o 4.1.3 Ideas before 1930 ※ The law of readiness o(1 When a conduction unit is ready to conduct, conduction by it is satisfying. o(2) For a conduction unit ready to conduct, not to conduct is annoying. o 3)When a conduction unit is not ready for conduction and is forced to conduct, conduction by it is annoying

Thorndike's connectionism o 4.1.3 Ideas before 1930 ●※ The law of exercise(learning by doing and forget by not doing (1) Law of use: connections between a stimulus and a response are strengthened as they are used o(2)Law of disuse: connections between situations and responses are weaken when practice is discontinued or if the neural bond is not used

Thorndike's Connectionism o 4.1.3 deas before 1930 ●※ The law of effect o It refers to the strengthening or weakening of a connection between s andr as the consequences of the response If a response is followed by a satisfying state of affairs, the strength of the connection is increased If it is followed by an annoying state of affairs, the strength is decreased
