Expert subject Psychology date November 2008 The psychology of learning is a theoretical science. Learning is a process that depends on experience and leads to long term changes in behavior potential. Behavior potential designates the possible behavior of an individual, not actual behavior. The main assumption behind all learning psychology is that the effects of the environment, conditioning, reinforcement, etc. provide psychologists with the best information from which to understand human behavior. As opposed to short term changes in behavior potential caused e.g. by fatigue learning implies long term changes. As opposed to long term changes caused by aging and development , learning implies changes related directly to experience . Learning theory education Learning theories try to better understand how the learning process works. Major research traditions are behaviorism , cognitivism psychology cognitivism and self regulated learning . Media psychology is a newer addition among the learning theories because there is so much technology now included in the various types of learning experiences. Neurosciences have provided important insights into learning, too, even when using much simpler organisms than humans aplysia . Distance learning, eLearning, online learning, blended learning, and media psychology are emerging dimensions of the field.

In artificial intelligence , model based reasoning refers to an inference method used in expert systems based on a model abstract model of the physical world. With this approach, the main focus of application development is developing the model. Then at run time, an engine combines this model knowledge with observed data to derive conclusions such as a diagnosis or a prediction. Knowledge representation In a model based reasoning system knowledge can be knowledge representation represented using causal rules . For example, in a medical diagnosis system the knowledge base may contain the following rule math forall math patients Stroke patient math rightarrow math Confused patient math land math Unequal Pupils patient In contrast in a diagnostic reasoning system knowledge would be represented through diagnostic rules such as math forall math patients Confused patient math rightarrow math Stroke patient math forall math patients Unequal Pupils patient math rightarrow math Stroke patient There are many other forms of models that may be used. Models might be quantitative for instance, based on mathematical equations or qualitative for instance, based on cause effect models. They may include representation of uncertainty. They might represent behavior over time. They might represent normal behavior, or might only represent abnormal behavior, as in the case of the examples above. Model types and usage for model based reasoning are discussed in ref http gregstanleyandassociates.com whitepapers FaultDiagnosis Model Based Reasoning model based reasoning.htm Model Based Reasoning for Fault Detection and Diagnosis ref .

Inductive reasoning is a measurable aptitude for how well a person can identify a pattern within a large amount of data. It involves applying the rules of logic when inferring specific instances from general principles and or rules. Measurement is generally done in a timed test by showing four pictures or words and asking the test taker to identify which of the pictures or words does not belong in the set. The test taker is shown a large number of sets of various degrees of difficulty. The measurement is made by timing how many of these a person can properly identify in a set period of time. The test resembles the game Which of These Is Not Like the Others . Here is an example question Find the set of letters that doesn t belong with the other sets. A cdef B mnpo C hikj D vwyx The correct answer could be A since the others don t go in alphabetical order, or D since unlike the other answers the set contains no vowels Inductive reasoning is very useful for scientists, auto mechanics, system integrator s, lawyers, network engineers, medical doctors, system administrator s and members of all fields where substantial diagnostic or data interpretation work is needed.
