I. Signal learning and stimulus -response learning
-Signal learning
This is the simplest form of learning where subject is conditioned to emit a desired response as a result of stimulus that would not normally produce that response. It was developed by behavioral psychologist Pavlov.

-Stimulus-response learning
This is also known as operant conditioning which involves developing desired stimulus-response bonds in the subject through a carefully planned reinforcement schedule based on the use of rewards and punishments.

II. Assimilation and accommodation
-Assimilation occurs when a child incorporates new knowledge into existing knowledge scheo.
-Accommodation occurs when a child adjusts to new information.

III. Vicarious learning and modeling
-Vicarious learning occurs through observing the consequences others receive for behavior. A learner will adopt or avoid a behavior depending on whether they saw it being rewarded or punished in another person.
-Modeling is learning through imitation. The learners copy what they see the model doing.
