_____________ improves motor skills Lack of practice results in the skill becoming ‘___________’ How do humans learn? __________________: Repeating a new skill will help develop it. _____________ (watching) & ______________ (copying): E.g. Watching someone build something and then copying them afterwards. __________________________: Mistakes are valuable learning opportunities! ____________________: When behaviour patterns that have positive consequences for the individual are likely to be repeated. E.g. Rats learning that when the lever is pressed a reward (food) is given. ____________________: The rewarding of behaviour that approximates to the desired behaviour. E.g. Animal trainers teaching dolphins to balance balloons on their snouts. _____________________: When behaviour patterns are not rewarded and so are likely to disappear. E.g. Rats learning that pressing a lever fails to give food, meaning that they press the lever less and less frequently. ____________________: Ability to respond in the same way to many different but related stimuli. E.g. A child who has been bitten by a dog, now fears all dogs. _____________________: Ability to distinguish between different but related stimuli and give different responses.
