Match the following and indicate the code of correct matching: Codes:List-I List-II a. Classical conditioning i. Response-Stimulus learning b. Operant conditioning ii. Stimulus-Response learning c. Cognitive theory iii. Stimulus-Stimulus learning d. Social learning iv. Modelling process
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
Concept: The four learning theories differ in how they connect stimulus and response, and each is matched accordingly.
Classical conditioning (Pavlov) builds an association by pairing a stimulus with a response, so it is stimulus-response learning (a-ii). For example, a bell repeatedly rung before food eventually makes a dog salivate at the bell alone.
Operant conditioning (Skinner) works the other way: a response (behaviour) is strengthened or weakened by the consequence that follows it, so learning runs from response to stimulus/consequence, that is response-stimulus learning (b-i).
Cognitive theory holds that learning occurs by forming mental links between one stimulus and another (understanding relationships), which is stimulus-stimulus learning (c-iii).
Social learning theory (Bandura) explains learning through observing and imitating others, the modelling process (d-iv).
Option check: Only the code a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv keeps modelling with social learning and reverses classical and operant correctly; codes that pair classical conditioning with response-stimulus, or social learning with anything but modelling, break the theory and are eliminated.
Hence the correct match is a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv.
‘Contact Hypothesis’ is based on the belief that :
The process by which sensory information is actively organised and interpreted by brain, is called :
A relatively stable set of characteristics that influence an individual's behaviour is known as :
The operant conditioning or learning approach to behaviour is based on __________.
The principles by which the process of perceptual organization works was first identified by Max Wertheimer in the year __________.
Assertion (A): Attribution theory is based on relationship between personal perception and interpersonal behaviour.
Reasoning (R): Since most 'whys' are not directly observable, people must depend upon cognitions, particularly perception.
Codes:

(b) The intuition-thinking personalities are very futuristic, imaginative and creative.
(c) The sensation-feeling personalities are very unkeen observers, non-methodical and problem-creators.
(d) The intuition-feeling personalities are very people-oriented, possessing personal charm and enthusiasm.
