2025
This study employed voice signal analysis and machine learning methods, utilizing MATLAB to extract distinctive voice features for non-invasive early detection of asthma. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms demonstrated comparable performance in terms of overall classification accuracy, although SVM may achieve a better balance between sensitivity and specificity.

An Introduction to Learning and Memory
0 Views •
2023
Learning is the process of acquiring new information and memory is the retention or storage of that information. Different types of learning, such as non-associative and associative learning, and different types of memory, such as long-term and short-term memory, have been associated with human behaviors. Studying these components in detail helps behavioral scientists understand the neural mechanisms behind these two complex phenomena. JoVE's overview on learning and memory introduces common...

Visual Statistical Learning

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University The visual environment contains massive amounts of information involving the relations between objects in space and time; certain objects are more likely to appear in the vicinity of other objects. Learning these regularities can support a wide array of visual processing, including object recognition. Unsurprisingly, then, humans appear to learn these regularities automatically, quickly, and without conscious awareness. The name...

FAQs
Conditioning links events, cues, or actions with outcomes, while reinforcement changes the likelihood that a behavior will occur again. These mechanisms help explain how environmental consequences influence behavior over time. In psychology, examining these relationships allows researchers to analyze how habits develop and how feedback can support behavior change, skill training, or clinical interventions.
Attention determines which information receives processing, memory formation helps preserve changes beyond the immediate situation, and feedback indicates whether a response is effective or needs adjustment. Together, these mechanisms connect experience with later performance. Their interaction helps explain why practice or instruction may produce durable improvements, whereas exposure without attention or retention may have limited effects.
Psychologists look for relatively lasting changes that remain after temporary conditions have passed. Behavioral tasks, observations, and experiments can compare performance across time and conditions, helping separate acquired changes from effects of fatigue, maturation, or a momentary state. This distinction is important because an immediate performance difference does not necessarily demonstrate that learning has occurred.
A study may present an experience, practice opportunity, instructional condition, or feedback pattern and then measure changes through behavioral tasks, observations, or experiments. Researchers compare responses across conditions or time to determine whether performance, behavior, knowledge, or mental representations have changed. Repeated assessment helps evaluate whether the outcome persists rather than reflecting a short-lived effect.
Researchers can assess changes in knowledge, skills, behavior, or mental representations. Behavioral tasks may reveal improved performance, observations may document altered actions in natural settings, and experiments may test how specific experiences or conditions produce those changes. Considering several outcome types gives psychology a broader account of adaptation than relying on a single measure of performance.
Findings about learning inform education, skill training, behavior change, and clinical interventions. They also help explain how people adapt to social and physical environments across the lifespan. Applications may focus on structuring instruction, supporting practice, interpreting feedback, or changing environmental conditions so that useful knowledge and behaviors are more likely to develop and persist.
