Tutorial 3 Learning Sep

The document discusses different types of conditioning that impact organizational behavior including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and social learning. Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. Operant conditioning uses reinforcement and punishment to modify behavior. Social learning occurs through observation and modeling key behaviors, values, and visions that shape an organization's culture.

have 10 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes to present the news.

1. What is classical conditioning? What are its components? How does it impact the
organization? Give an example.

2. What do we mean by operant conditioning? What are its components? How does it
impact the organization? Give an example. This referred to a method of learning that uses
reward and punishment to modify behavior

Attentional processes

Must recognize and pay attention to critical features to learn.

Retention processes

Model’s actions must be remembered to be learned.

Motor reproduction processes

Watching the model’s behavior must be converted to doing.

Reinforcement processes

Positive incentives motivate learners.

3. How can an organization use social learning to teach its employees its culture, values,
thoughts and vision? Social learning is the process of observing, reading or listening
culture, values, thoughts and vision the organization
