Introduction

In psychology , learning is defined as a process that leads to either a relatively permanent behavior change or potential behavior . It is a continuous process which starts immediately after a child is born Through learning , people are able to change their perception towards the environment and hence the primary reason for behavior changes . It bears noting that there are different approaches to learning and they all explain how the process occurs . Cognitive approach to learning focuses on the

manner in which a person understands information and concepts While behavioral approach focuses on how individuals examine and analyze observable environmental events as well as how the same leads to behavior change . Neuroscience approach focuses on neural mechanisms that support learning . Although there are different approaches to learning these have some differences as well as similarities . With this background , it will therefore be the objective of this paper to describe the similarities between neuroscience , behavioral and cognitive approaches to learning

Similarities between Cognitive , Behavioral and Neuroscience Approaches

The fact that all approaches try to explain the learning process in human beings is the main similarity . It is however notable that the behavioral approach depicts that learning is highly dependent on external stimulus and experiences . Likewise , the cognitive approach illustrates that learning is a change in the content , organization as well as storage of information in the brain . This results from cognition changes and different experiences . Lastly , the neuroscience approach illustrates that learning is basically...
