Hai all...every day, through my office window i throw two egg yellow yokes...the behaviour of all living organisms get enforced when the conditions of meeting their need are met...
so, a crow who got it's meal on first day started coming every day at the same time (biological conditioning!!)...some times i forget to eat at 11 noon...so it comes and pegs the window panes continuously as if it is going to break open it...it knows that its meal comes out through this window...and i get reminded, eat the white, open the window and give the yellow to the crow...it eats and goes happily...
1. it follows time (learning)....2. it knows where the food is coming from ....3. it knows how to get the food if it is not given in time...the pics of crow pecking are here....
it is a simple event for every one...but it is a complex learning theory...called B.F.Skinner's Operant Conditioning theory...interested people can type this in google and learn more about it (if i type here you will get bored!!)...
may be i will type these separately with examples in future...there are several learning theories...to understand how we learn and unlearn...all these are very useful as therapies, managers use in organizations to take work out of employees, leaders use them to motivate, politicians use, bureaucrats use, parents use...
ALL MOST ALL OF OUR BEHAVIOURS ARE 'LEARNT BEHAVIOURS'...OTHER THAN THE BASIC INSTINCTS FOR SURVIVAL...SO DISTURBING LEARNT BEHAVIOURS CAN BE UNLEARNT AND WE CAN BECOME PEACEFUL AGAIN IN LIFE...
Using these Learning theories of human beings, to teach Robots to learn behaviours like human beings is called "Behavioural Robotics"...more about all these in future days, months and years....
Robotically yours...rams...Health Psychologist...
