Ways of learning

Punishment is the consequence that follows a operant response that decreases (or attempts to decrease) the likelihood of the response occurring again.

A Cognitive map is used to refer to one’s internal representation of the experienced world.

Latent Learning is a form of learning that occurs without obvious reinforcement to be applied later. When a person learns something in life, but the knowledge is not immediately expressed. It remains dormant and may not be available to consciousness until certain circumstances allow or require it to be expressed. An example demonstrating this is child observes parent setting kitchen table, but he does not perform this himself until about a year or so.
