Life and Psychology Defining and Measuring Learning



      Learning attitude For the attitude of learning it mentions learning in and out of school involve to change in our attitudes based on our disposition to give favorable or unfavorable to respond to objects or persons and situations or abstract ideas. We can define an attitude as a relatively  stable learned emotionalized predispositiont respond in some consistent.
Verbal learning. It is hardly necessary to point out the importance of verbal learning in our every-day living. Sensory learning. In sensory learning subject is presented with two or more stimuli which are different in the same detail. Discrimination learning. Serisl learning .
(2)MEASURING LEARNING
Learning is an intervening variable. This means it is something we do not observe directly but infer from changes we see in behavior-behavior changes that seem to indicate an increase in habit strength .We hypothesize a process which we call learning to account for the behavioral changes that we see.
Criteria of learning
It is fairly easy to set up a criterion of learning in laboratory conditioning experiments. The response can be specified clearly perhaps as blinking a certain number of times or pressing a bar with a certain frequency. Even with verbal learning a criterion of learning is easy to specify if the task is something specific like msatering a list of spelling words: 

In laboratory studies of learning the criteria most often used as indications of learning are:

(1) accuracy of response,
(2) speed of response,
(3) strength of response,
(4) probability of response,
(5) effort in response,
(6) resistance to extinction, and
(7) resistance to interference.


The influence of prior learning
The efficiency of practice is often influenced by what we have already learned or have been learning just before. The experimental design used to study this effect is quite simple;

=> Experimental group Control group 
Learn Task A Do not learn Task A
Learn Task B Learn Task B.

=>The results of this experiment are shown in the following table.
