How does learning occur?• Sensory impressions• Stimulus Response Consequence
How do we know that learning takes place?• Observable change in behavior
How does transfer occur?• Similar stimuli

Cognitivism
How does learning occur?• Connections are made between old and new
information in meaningful interactions.How do know that learning takes place?
• Synthesis of informationHow does transfer occur?
• Through exposure to similar contexts
