Correct Answer - Option 2 : Cognition learning
Learning is a key process in human behaviour. All living is learning. If we compare the simple, crude ways in which a child feels and behaves, with the complex modes of adult behaviour, his skills, habits, thought, sentiments, and the like- we will know what difference learning has made to the individual.
- Learning is defined as a change in the behaviour of the learner as a result of experience.
- It is a change that takes place through practice or experience.
- All learning involves activities. These activities involve either physical or mental activities.
Types of learning:-
- Motor or sensory learning
- Cognition or Conceptual learning
- Verbal learning
- Discrimination learning
- Attitude learning
- Problem-solving
- Learning of principles
Cognition or conceptual learning: this learning is the latest educational approach that focuses more on understanding the concepts and learning how to organize and distribute data.
- It is the form of learning which requires higher-order mental processes like thinking, reasoning, intelligence, etc. we learn different concepts from childhood.
- Students must be able to apply their knowledge in the present condition they are experiencing. This is the reason conceptual learning is the way to fruitful education.
- Conceptual learning involves two processes, viz. abstraction and generalization. This learning is very useful in recognizing, identifying things.
-
Verbal learning: This type of learning involves the language we speak, the communication devices we use. Signs, pictures, symbols, words, figures, sounds, etc, are the tools used in such activities. We use words for communication.
-
Discrimination Learning: The learner makes different responses to different stimuli that are somewhat alike.
-
Motor learning: Most of our activities in our day-to-day life refer to motor activities. The individual has to learn them in order to maintain his regular life, for example walking, running, skating, driving, climbing, etc. All these activities involve muscular coordination.
Therefore, Higher-order mental processes such as thinking, reasoning, and generalization are involved in Cognition learning.
