2. Introduction The following presentation is help explain the significant of Cognitive and Behavioral learning. There are many types of theories when its comes to learning. Learning is a process, that when embraced, can make a huge difference in the way one may look at life and the way one may think. In this presentation, I will be reviewing the following Learning Theories: Cognitive Behavioral Constructivism Classical Conditioning

3. Jean Piaget After doing much research, I found that Jean Piaget is from and was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland August 9th,1896, he Was the child to Arthur Piaget. Jean Piaget was a psychologist known for his studies with his children. Piaget studied his own children. His view were the Theory of Cognitive. He stated that Development Had the following four stages: • Sensorimotor-ages 0 to 2 years-infant making sense of the world • Preoperational-ages 2 to 7 years- Language development • Concrete operational-ages 7 to 11years- better understanding of how the mind works • Formal operational-ages 11 and up -develop the ability to think Cognitive About Jean Piaget

4. Hans Eysenck After doing much research, I have found That Hans Eysenck Was from and born in Berlin, Germany. He Moved to England in the 1930s. He was British. He was a Psychologist. Eysenck Theories on learning is that personality is arranged in an Hierarchy. Types would be one. Others would be traits, and habitual responses. Tendency to experience a Negative emotions, and tendency to enjoy a positive Events were his views. He believed in the five broad traits, The Big Five model are as follows: • Openness to experience • Conscientiousness • Extraversion • Agreeableness • Neuroticism Behavioral About Hans Eysenck

5. Cognitive vs. Behavioral • When it comes to cognitive behavior, we learn that it is very active and rewarding. When a learner is seeking to gain knowledge, he would need to gather information to gain the knowledge needed. Students that are in the process of learning, need to create a road that will help them understand and see the application unfold. Its vital that a student directs his own leaning in order to find resolutions to his problems • In behavior learning, you will find that learning is passive and students can learn to response as they are learning. There is allot that required. For example, reward and efforts would be needed. In behavior learning, the objective is remembering the information after you have studied. The part required that you set road that will allow you to repeat what you have learned. Cognitive Learning Behavioral Learning

6. Learning Theories • When we define constructivism, we learn that it is a philosophy of leaning that was brought about by reflecting on your own past experience, we can build a strong understanding of the world that we are living in. Each of us have free agency to make out on rules and models, we use these to make sense of the experiences that we have on a daily basis. So when we look at learning, it is the process of aligning or minds to the new experiences that we are having. • Classical Conditioning is learning by sounds and things that have happen in the pass. For example, I was living in an apartment, I was taking a shower, while I was taking a shower, the toilet flushes. I jump back because the water is very hot. I have learned that each time the toilet flushes, I jump away from the water because I know it hot. This has been brought about because of classical conditioning learning theory. Constructivism Classical Conditioning

7. Constructivism We have all been in a classes where we were not able to make sense of what the instructor is trying to relay to the students and class. In constructivism, we learn as an instructor, we need to probe for questions and allow the student to developed ideas that will solved the questions. In constructivism, the learner is actively involved in the process. If you want to be successful, you must understand the learning theories that your classroom student needs. The key to being successful would be to allow the student to build off their own learning, and not just memorize the right answers.

8. Classical Conditioning Classical conditioning is effective tool in the process of learning. For example, I have learned that as a leader, if I want to persuade someone to do something, I would have them work on two project. One project that they like doing and the other the do not like doing. One example is how a dog know when he/she is about to eat. Every time I yelled out to my dog that its time to eat, the dog mouth starts to salivate. In classical conditioning, just by my dog listening to my voice tone, he starts to salivate. Not only does my dog salivate to the sound of my voice, but also salivates to the food. I think of when my wife tells is its dinner time, just hearing the sound, my mouth starts to water on site, smell, or even memory of her food

9. Classical Conditioning Impacts Teaching/Training • When it comes to Classical conditioning and teaching and training and how it impacts, I would give the example of a attempting to train my dog, It is very hard to find out what my dog likes or what he does not like. Part of classical conditioning is determining what my dog likes and somehow combined it with something he dislikes. I have found that when I do this, It allows me to have an impact on teaching. In teaching and training, we can explain the consequence and the behavior. For example, you might tell a group of friends that you will buy them lunch if they helped you out with moving, so they would received a reward for there service. Or another example is that a child may not be able to play basketball if his grades are not passing

10. Constructivism Impacts Teaching/Training • There are several ways constructivism impact teaching and training. First in order to be successful with constructivism, one must focus on the learner in thinking about learning. Sometime we spend too much time with subject and lesson and not focus on the learner. For example, the learner would see the learners engaging with the world and learn from this. Student will need to learn to learn. For example, if we learn a series of dates of events in the past, we are learning the meaning of the series of dates. The meaning we construct makes us better able to give meaning to other sensations.

11. Theories applies to how business teaches • When selecting a specific adult leaning environment, It has been my experience to see training programs heavily rely on technology. When it come to the different learning theories, I have found that trainer tend to use Constructivism . The trainee must understand the learning process of the student . In the training environment, the instructor will allow the student to build off their own learning, but also understanding where each student learning process is at. When it comes to Classical Conditioning, the training ties in something that the students enjoy while teaching the class. This allow them to focus on both area and be successful in the training.

12. Conclusion • In conclusion, learning theories are vital when it come to training and teaching. With the many types of theories, if learning is applied, it can truly bring together cognitive, emotional, and environmental experiences making changes in knowledge, skills, values, and world views.
