- Maria Montessori - cognitive development and learning experiences
- Jean Piaget - Developmental stages, mental operations are sequential
- Lev Vygotsky - development based on interactions
- Jerome Bruner - discovery and continuous process
- Ivan Pavlov - Classical Conditioning
- John B. Watson -Learned behavior
- Edward Thorndike - Reinforce wanted behaviors

Characteristics
- Human behavior can change
- Outcomes are the focus
- Learner is a blank slate
- Outside/ external factors impact learning and behaviors over genetics
- Focused on the relationship between stimulus (task/information/ activity) and response (how the learner reacts)
- Process oriented
- Learner is active in their own learning
- Need a prior base of knowledge
- Reflect on prior knowledge
- Resolve misconceptions
- Learning is unique to the learner
- Outcomes are not always consistent
- New ideas are formed
- Heredity and environment play a factor in learning
- Assimilation - new experiences built on prior knowledge
- Tune responses - Students process and organize information
- Knowledge is added to and built on
- Learning is internal
Role of short trem and long term memory. If the learner thinks the information is important it will be remembered and eventually moved to long term memory otherwise short term memory forgets it.
Memories are made from experiences and connections. By connecting knowledge and finding meaning in it, the learner is more liekly to remember it. Memories can be changed and reformed based on new discoveries.
The brain craves stimulus and the more the brain associates a positive experience with a certain stimulus, the more likely the learner will continue that behavior because they want the reward.

Learn How: When the learner questions, rethinks, develops new ideas, and transforms their knowledge, learning has taken place. .
Learn How: Reinforcements and Rewards strengthen or lessen behaviors based on the stimulus. Learning has occurred when a behavior changes based on the stimulus
.
Learn How: Learning happens when a student takes new information and reorganizes it with what they already knew. There is a change or refinement in the knowledge. Learning is sequential. .
Types of Learning:
Problem based learning
Critical thinking Creative projects
Group collaborations Spiral the curriculum
It is not about just one answer, multiple solutions Teacher is a facilitator, students also learn from eachother
Types of Learning:
For Classroom Management/Behavior Modification/ Establishing Routines
Do this by: Modeling wanted behaviors Practice, Repeated drills, Exercises, Review, Frequent monitoring and Feedback
Step by Step Teacher to student
Types of Learning:
Learning concepts should be repeated
Scaffold the learning Developmental - build off of one another
Done through discussions
Problem solving Linking information to the real world - make it important and meaning ful(more likely to remember)
