In the two lists given below, List I mentions the names of advocates of the concept of learning and List II refers to the learning concept. Match the two and choose the correct answer from the code given below. List I (Name of advocate of the List II (Learning concept)
concept of learning)a) Hull i) Experiential learning b) Tolman ii) Concept mapping c) Thorndike iii) Need-reduction theory of learning d) Skinner iv) Sign learning e) Kolb v) S - R bond learning vi) Operant conditioning
a-iii, b-iv, c-v, d-vi, e-i
Hull is associated with drive/need reduction (iii), Tolman with sign learning (iv), Thorndike with stimulus–response bonds (v), Skinner with operant conditioning (vi), and Kolb with experiential learning (i). Therefore a–iii, b–iv, c–v, d–vi, e–i. Concept mapping is particularly associated with Joseph Novak.
