Learning approach - main assumptions

Main assumptions of the learning approach.

• We all begin life as a blank slate. Experiences and interactions with the environment shape our behaviour and these changes are directly observable.
• We learn through the processes of operant conditioning, classical conditioning and social learning. This can be understood using the stimulus-response model.

This matters because learning approach - main assumptions determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply learning approach - main assumptions to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: Learning approach - main assumptions is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
