No, insight learning is a form of learning that Kohler was researching. It's basically insight, learning getting get that sort of, 'inspiration' or some sort of other perception that helps solve a problem.

Punishment- delivers a negative stimulus or removing a positive one to DECREASE/WEAKEN a behaviour

Negative reinforcement- removal of a negative stimulus to INCREASE/STRENGTHEN a behaviour

Major differences: Punishment weakens a response whereas negative reinforcement strengthens a response

The sample is drawn from students at Lakehill college (i.e. the population is students from the college). So you would say VCE students at Lakehill college.

yeah just make sure you use past tense for these things. So basically...

The sample was taken from VCE students from Lakehill college.

The definition we were meant to know for insight was the more trial and error experiences that have occurred, the more chance of an insightful experience occurring.

hey sorry to bother once again but i was flipping through my book its really doesnt touch much on the affects of ageing on memory

did you have a more specific question or shall i just summarise it?:P

basically, memory decline from aging is due to three main factors:
* CNS functioning slowing down
* Lack of confidence in memory
* Lack of motivation

These affect STM/Working memory:
* Simultaneous and Complex tasks are affected, whereas simple tasks are not.
* Rate and speed of processing declines

Also affect LTM:
* Procedural memories are the least affected
* Declarative memories are affected, semantic has no apparent decline whereas episodic does.
* Older people do not encode information with as much detail nor as precisly as younger people.

I don't think i have forgetting anything but Hope this helps.
