Examples of latent learning in the following topics:
-
- Latent learning occurs without any obvious conditioning or reinforcement of a behavior, illustrating a cognitive component to learning.
- Latent learning is a form of learning that is not immediately expressed in an overt response.
- Latent learning implies that learning can take place without any behavioral changes being immediately present.
- This demonstrates latent learning: Ravi had learned the route to school but had no need to demonstrate this knowledge earlier.
- Edward Tolman was a behavioral psychologist who first demonstrated latent learning in rats.
-
- Skinner (1904-1990) are the two principal originators of behaviorist approaches to learning.
- Watson's basic premise was that conclusions about human development should be based on observation of overt behavior rather than speculation about subconscious motives or latent cognitive processes.
- Watson's view of learning was based in part on the studies of Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936).
- Skinner believed the habits that each of us develops result from our unique operant learning experiences (Shaffer, 2000).
-
- Although schools' manifest function is to educate and train intelligence, they also have latent functions like socializing students.
- However, education also offers several latent functions, one of which is to foster social skills.
- Like the academic skills learned there, the social skills learned in school turn out to be quite important to a student's future success in life .
- Latent functions are not generally recognized or intended; rather, they are a secondary effect of manifest functions.
- For example, it is not stated in the curriculum that children learn social skills at school, but as a result of being around and working with other children, socialization occurs.
-
- Merton (1957) proposed a distinction between manifest and latent functions.
- Latent functions are the unintended functions of a phenomenon in a social system.
- An example of manifest and latent functions is education.
- A latent function of the public education system is the development of a hierarchy of the learned.
- The most learned are often also the most affluent.
-
- The latent heat is the energy associated with a phase change of a substance.
- where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.
- Latent heat is an intensive property measured in units of J/kg.
- Lf and Lv are collectively called latent heat coefficients.
- Andrew Vanden Heuvel explores latent heat while trying to cool down his soda.
-
- Prodromal labor, which includes the latent phase of labor, marks the initial stages of parturition.
- The latent phase is generally defined as beginning at the point at which the woman perceives regular uterine contractions.
- Cervical effacement (the thinning and stretching of the cervix and cervical dilation) occurs during the closing weeks of pregnancy and are usually complete, or near complete, by the end of the latent phase.
- The latent phase ends with the onset of the active phase, which is marked by an accelerated cervical dilation.
-
- Shingles, the common name for herpes zoster, is caused by latent varicella zoster virus, the same virus which causes chickenpox in children.
- Varicella zoster virus can become latent in the nerve cell bodies and less frequently in non-neuronal satellite cells of dorsal root, cranial nerve or autonomic ganglion, without causing any symptoms.
- Exactly how the virus remains latent in the body, and subsequently re-activates is not understood.
-
- The three categories of toxoplasmosis include acute, latent, and cutaneous toxoplasmosis.
- Latent toxoplasmosis is characterized by the formation of cysts in both the nervous and muscle tissue due to the bradyzoite form of the parasite.
- Often times, individuals infected with latent toxoplasmosis do not present with symptoms, as the infection enters a latent phase.
- Compare and contrast: acute and latent toxoplasmosis and outline the life cycle of the protazoan that causes it
-
- As you are aware, either from your own experience as a child or your role in helping to raise one, socialization involves teaching and learning about an unending array of objects and ideas.
- Schools also serve a latent function in society by socializing children into behaviors like teamwork, following a schedule, and using textbooks.School and classroom rituals, led by teachers serving as role models and leaders, regularly reinforce what society expects from children.
- The United States is full of synagogues, temples, churches, mosques, and similar religious communities where people gather to worship and learn.
-
- Education also provides an example of Merton's theory of manifest and latent functions.
- A latent function of the public education system is the development and maintenance of a class hierarchy.
- In the 1950s, Robert Merton elaborated the functionalist perspective by proposing a distinction between manifest and latent functions.
- Latent functions are its unintended functions.
- Latent functions may be undesirable, but unintended consequences, or manifestly dysfunctional institutions may have latent functions that explain their persistence.
