Learning Experience
Learning is characterized as the method of developing fresh accomplishment, behavior,knowledge, use
or taste. Learning is an alteration evolved as an outcome of experience. This paper analyses a personal
learning experience in relation with several prospects of the learning theory.
Learning Experience
I loathe going to busy places, particularly to social gatherings. I lean to mislay my self-belief and
feel uncomfortable when I go to celebrations. This abhor for parties has developed in me since a young
age incident. While I was a seven-year-old, I went with my mother to attend a birthday celebration of a
friend. There was a little contest for all the children set in the bash in which children had to present their
talents. All the kids had been informed proceeding of this contest so that they can practice something. I
had learned a poem for this intention. In the party when I went to verbalize, every eye was on me and I
forget the lines. I just able to tell one line and it was followed by long hush convoyed with mocks of kids
scornful at me. This event made me build up an intimidating emotion toward celebrations.
Learning
Throughout these incidents I have grown an antagonistic outlook towards parties and busy places. I
learned to hate parties and busy places.
Classical Conditioning
This learning experience can be clarified by traditional training. According to the traditional training
when an unbiased stimulus is joined with an unconditioned stimulus, it becomes trained stimulus that
conveys up a trained reaction. An unconditioned stimulus is one that unreservedly fallout in a reaction.
An unconditioned reaction is a reaction which happens involuntarily when a trained stimulus is prompt.
A trained reaction is referred as a learned response, which arises when a past unbiased stimulus is
prompt. A trained stimulus is one which had been previously an unbiased stimulus but once connecting
with an unconditioned stimulus, it fallout in trained reaction (Harris & Hartman, 2001).
The unconditioned stimulus in my learning experience was performing in front of public. The
unconditioned reaction was the loss of self-belief and fright of performing. The trained stimulus in this
case was attending parties. The trained reaction was the aversion for parties. In other words, my act in
public resulted in loss of self-belief. I connected the fright of performing in public with parties, although
there was no link. This led to my dislike of parties.
Operant Conditioning
This learning experience can be illustrated through Operant Conditioning. Operant Conditioning is
defined as a learning that results owing to the plunders and punishment linked with a type of manners.
Operant Conditioning speaks about a outcome with a behavior. The behavior in the occurrence was
performing in front of people. The outcome linked with this behavior is the fright of being teased upon
by people. The reinforcement in the case was a pessimistic reinforcement. The performance in public
results in teasing of people. This led to the extraction from parties and busy places.
Cognitive-Social Learning
The learning experience can be explained by cognitive social learning. Social Cognitive theory relates
behavior, environmental factors and personal factors. According to this theory, a person learns a
behavior as a result of convergence of the person's environment with personal characteristics and
experience (Luthans, 1998). Past experience plays the role of a guide to influence a present
circumstance. The hostility towards the parties developed as result of the mocking received in the party.
The fear of performing in public got associated with the parties and this resulted in withdrawals from
parties.
Influences of Media and Prejudice on Learning
Media and Prejudice plays a significant character in determining the learning of a person. Prejudice is
learnt by a person when he or she lives and study the prejudice in a society. The view of people is
influenced by what they notice around them. When a young person studies the prejudice in the
activities of people around him, he by coincidence builds up the similar sort of activities in him. Although
the parents of the kid are not prejudiced, the kid learns it by seeing the society. Media is also implicated
in manipulating the learning. By media, the people are uncovered to a diversity of manners. They make
attempt to take in these learning through media in their personal actions. Media manipulates people
belief and deeds.
Conclusion
Classical conditioning is an associative learning which helps the trade associations to have an excellent
behavioral reply from the staff of the association. The classical conditioning involves the presentation of
the neural stimulus. On the other hand, operant conditioning is dissimilar from classical conditioning as
the operant conditioning handles the changes in intended activities. Operant conditioning is sustained
by the outcomes and the classical conditioning is not sustained by outcomes. On the contrary to this, the
cognitive social learning is poles apart from the other two leanings as this focuses on the human
behavior only in some scrupulous states. This learning not only influences the staff but also affects the
managerial surroundings.
