cognitive learning

Which of the following best defines cognitive learning?

• Learning through repetition and practice

• Learning based on environmental stimuli and responses

• Learning that involves mental processes like thinking, memory, and problem-solving

• Learning through rewards and punishments

Cognitive learning focuses on which of the following aspects of learning?

• Reinforcement and punishment

• Mental processes such as thinking, memory, and problem-solving

• Conditioning of behavior

• Observational learning

In Wolfgang Köhler’s experiment with chimpanzees, the animals solved a problem by:

• Trial and error

• Insightful problem-solving after a period of confusion

• Responding to external reinforcement

• Imitating the behavior of humans

Insight learning can best be described as:

• A gradual process of learning through repetition

• The ability to solve problems using trial and error

• The ability to solve problems through sudden realization

• Learning by observing others' behavior

Which of the following is NOT an example of insight learning?

• A chimpanzee stacking boxes to reach a banana

• A person solving a complex puzzle after thinking about it for a while

• A dog learning a trick through treats and reinforcement

• A student figuring out a solution to a math problem after thinking about it

Latent learning refers to:

• Learning that occurs only when there is reinforcement

• Learning that occurs without reinforcement and is not immediately demonstrated

• Learning that involves conscious awareness

• Learning that is based on observational methods

Latent learning is most likely to occur when:

• There is immediate reinforcement

• There is no opportunity for exploration

• The learner is actively motivated to receive rewards

• Information is learned but not immediately used or demonstrated
