A behavior no longer followed by the reinforcing stimulus results in a decreased probability of that behavior occurring in the future.

Jerome Bruner
4 major aspects:predisposition towards learning, the ways in which a body of knowledge can be structured so that it can be most readily grasped by the learner, the most effective sequences in which to present material, and the nature and pacing of rewards and punishments. Good methods for structuring knowledge should result in simplifying, generating new propositions, and increasing the manipulation of information. Technology can simplify concepts visually and through indv. learning -

5 categories of learning: Verbal Information, ntellectual Skills, Cognitive Strategies, Attitudes, Motor Skills. Hierarchy according to complexity: stimulus recognition, response generation, procedure following, use of terminology, discriminations, concept formation, rule application, and problem solving. Can't advance to next level until they understand the level below. Technolgy allow for differentiated learning -
