2gg3: learning, measuring and shaping behaviour effects of behaviour. The plan: to learn about edward l. thorndike"s connectionism, to u(cid:374)de(cid:396)sta(cid:374)d cla(cid:396)k hull(cid:859)s h(cid:455)potheti(cid:272)o-deductive system, e(cid:374)d (cid:449)ith edu(cid:272)atio(cid:374)al i(cid:373)pli(cid:272)atio(cid:374)s (cid:271)ased o(cid:374) tho(cid:396)(cid:374)dike a(cid:374)d hull(cid:859)s theories/models. Thorndike asked: do animals have humanlike capacities of thought and reason: methodical thought of what the solution might be. Set or attitude: learning is partly a function of your prior experience that sets a specific kind of way of thinking when we have to react to something, ex. Response by analogy: take experience in familiar situation and apply it to a novel situation, strategy from one course and applying it to another course, 5. Associative shifting: taking a response from one stimulus to another, ex. Liking a singer based off an album, you expect the new album to be good when it comes out and you are excited for it.
