Effective way to learn
◦ Massed and Spaced Learning
◦ Whole and part learning
◦ Recitation and Reading
◦ Serial and Free Recall
◦ Knowledge of result
◦ Association organization
◦ Mnemonic method
◦ Incidental and intentional Learning and
◦ Role of Language
Dr Amandeep Singh Ph.D Assistant Professor Psychologist
Massed and Spaced Learning
Massed and Spaced learning
Conditions are those in which individuals practice a task continuously without rest. (Cramming)where as
Conditions are those in which individuals are given rest intervals within the practice sessions. (Distributed
or interleaving)
Dr Amandeep Singh Ph.D Assistant Professor Psychologist
Whole and Part Learning
Whole and Part
E.g. Poem
One is to read the poem again and again from beginning till end as a whole. This is called whole method of
learning where as Poem divided in the parts and each part is learned or memorized. This is called part
method of learning .
Dr Amandeep Singh Ph.D Assistant Professor Psychologist
Recitation / Reading
Learning
Recitation / Reading
In this method to learner first reads the matter once or twice and the tries to recite and recall without
looking at that material. In this way, recitation method provide continuous self-appraisal. Learner evaluates
himself and herself from time to time and notes the points. To these points attention can be paid and thus
he/she is saved of unnecessarily repeating the already memorized material. Moreover the recitation
method is more stimulating than the continued and avoids them by close attention.
Dr Amandeep Singh Ph.D Assistant Professor Psychologist
Serial Learning and Free Recall
Serial Learning and Free Recall
Serial Learning consist of such learning in which the learner is presented with such type of learning
material that exhibits some sequential or serial order on other hand free recall Material that has been
learned may be repeated in any order.
Dr Amandeep Singh Ph.D Assistant Professor Psychologist
Knowledge of Result and Association Organization
Goal of Learning
Acquisition of Knowledge Acquisition of skill
Perception:- Perception refer to the acquisition of specific Under skill are included the sensory motor process such as
knowledge about objects or events directly stimulating the sense writing, reading, musical performance, language acquisition
at any particular movement. in its vocal aspect, drawing and art generally.
Conception:- Conception means acquisition of organised
knowledge in form of concepts or general ideas, which transcend True learning is enrichment of experience it is because of this
any particular percept. view of learning process that today we find an emphasis on
Associate learning:- Associate learning corresponds to memory activity programs, learning by doing the project method, self
both as the deliberate recall and recognition, past experience and activity etc rather than the book reading
a habit or automatic memory due to association.
Appreciation :- Appreciation is acquisition of ideas, attitudes or
dispositions characterized by an emotional tone
Dr Amandeep Singh Ph.D Assistant Professor Psychologist
Mnemonic Method
A Mnemonic is considered as something that can be used to
remember things in faster and an efficient manner.
Mnemonics has many types of methods of learning that makes it
quicker and easily applicable on the larger chunks of information.
Dr Amandeep Singh Ph.D Assistant Professor Psychologist
Mnemonic Method
◦ There are basically nine types of mnemonics which come in the form of devices
basis different individuals and their capabilities.
1.Music mnemonics 6.Note organization Mnemonics
2. Name mnemonics 7. Image Mnemonics
3. Expression or Word 8. Connection Mnemonics
4. Model Mnemonics 9. Spelling Mnemonics
5 Ode Mnemonics

Incidental and Intentional Learning
Incidental learning is the learning of one stimulus Intentional learning is described as the having the
feature while concentrating on another stimulus intention to learn the material and to commit it to
feature too. A little more specific connotation of ones memory. It explains the study conditions where
incidental learning is that it involves the learning of participants are forewarned that they will be tested
formal aspects through a center of attention on on material to which they are exposed. Participants
semantic aspects. Incidental learning can occur in in an intentional learning task are told in advance
many modes inclusive of observations, that they will be tested in after the learning phase;
communications with colleagues about tasks or they will try to store the word information that is to
projects, experiencing mistakes, assumptions and be learned in a form perceived as a transferable to
adapting to new situations. the test situation.
Dr Amandeep Singh Ph.D Assistant Professor Psychologist
Role of Language in Learning
Broadly speaking language is a means of expression. We express our
feelings and thoughts through it. According to Gray language may be
regarded as, “ any means of expressing emotional and mental concepts by
any living being or beings whatsoever and communicating them to or
receiving them from other living beings.” Since language is a means or
medium of expression, it has a character of universality.
