1956 - Correct Answer -In what year did the American educational psychologist Robert M.
Gagné proposed a system of
classifying different types of learning in terms
Robert M. Gagne - Correct Answer -Who proposed the hierarchy of learning
Signal learning - Correct Answer -Simplest form of learning
Signal learning - Correct Answer -Consists essentially of the classical conditioning
Signal learning - Correct Answer -The responses are diffuse and emotional and the learning is
involuntary
Signal learning - Correct Answer -Example: The signals are the sight of the hot object, the sound
of food being poured in the dish The conditioned responses are withdrawal of the hand,
salivation
Stimulus response learning - Correct Answer -Also known as operant conditioning
Stimulus response learning - Correct Answer -The responses in signal learning are diffuse and
emotional, the responses in stimulus-
response learning are fairly precise
, Chaining - Correct Answer -More advanced form of learning in which the subject develops the
ability to connect two or more previously-learned stimulus-response bonds into a linked
sequence
Chaining - Correct Answer -Complex psychomotor skills are learned
Chaining - Correct Answer -Seems to occur so naturally that we do not notice the specific series
of events which led
to it.
Chaining - Correct Answer -Example: A child who learns to say "doll" at the sight of a doll, then

Verbal association - Correct Answer -A form of chaining in which the links between the items
being connected are verbal in nature
Verbal association - Correct Answer -Key processes in the development of language skills
Verbal association - Correct Answer -Example: A student nurse being able to define medical
terminology and apply it to clinical situation.
Discrimination learning - Correct Answer -It is seen when the learner is able to perform different
responses to a series of similar stimuli that may differ in a systematic way
False - Correct Answer -T/F Discrimination learning is easier when the learner comes across
road blocks or interference that inhibits continual learning
Discrimination learning - Correct Answer -Example: A patient complaining of abdominal pain
after abdominal surgery. The student must learn how to differentiate this pain from that of gas,
intrabdominal bleeding, incisional pain or infection.
