-^  Paradigm ​ ^  Decade((Approximate decade in which the theory was introduced)) ​ ^  Theory ​ ^  Key concepts ​ ^ 
-||||| 
-|  (Connectionism)((Connectionism is not considered a learning paradigm, but is mentioned due to its influence on behaviorist ideas)) ​ |  1880 - 1900  |  **Connectionism** (Thorndike) ​   | - learning is incremental strengthening of the S-R((Stimulus-Response)) association ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - **S-R associations** are strengthened through **repetition** ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - outcome of a S-R event can strengthen or weaken the connection ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - potential to learn leads to frustration if not satisfied ​ | 
-|    |    |    |    | 
-||||| 
-|  Behaviorism ​ |  1900 - 1910  |  **Classical conditioning** (Pavlov) ​ | - learning is a **visible change** in one's behavior ​  | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - learning is manifested in a **natural reflex** reaction on an associated environmental stimulus ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - emotional response can also be learned or conditioned ​ | 
-|  :::  |  1920 - 1930  |  **Contiguity theory** (Guthrie) ​            | - behavior is formed by a **series of movements** which are learned through S-R associations ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - a close **temporal relationship** between S and R is necessary for learning to occur  | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - learning occurs on **first experienced instance** of the stimulus ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - reinforcements (reward or punishment) do not influence the strength of this connection ​ | 
-|    |    |    |    | 
-||||| 
-|  Neo-behaviorism ​ |  1930 - 1940  |  **Sign learning** (Tolman) ​     | - suggests studying behavior on the molar level (whole, purposeful, goal-directed behaviors) ​  | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - learning is acquisition of knowledge through **meaningful behavior**, not mechanical moves  | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - rewards or punishments can only be used as motivators for performance,​ not learning ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - animals are not simple mechanisms, but intelligent organisms capable of **cognitive processes** ​ | 
-|      :::     ​| ​ :::  |  **Drive reduction theory** (Hull) ​           | - **mathematical formulas** attempting to explain behavior and the likelihood of its appearance ​  | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - **drive** (a stimulus in form of a biological need) results in behavior in order to **satisfy** it  | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - reinforced S-R learning through the reduction of a biological drive  | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | -  **cognitive factors** need to be taken into account when explaining human learning ​  | 
-|  :::  |  1950 - 1960 |  **Operant conditioning** (Skinner) ​          | - **reinforced learning** of **new behaviors**,​ not just shaping reflexes ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - different reinforcement intervals have different effect ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - complex behaviors are learned through more simple ones  | 
-|      :::     ​| ​ :::  |  **Stimulus sampling theory** (Estes) ​        | - a **statistical learning theory**; set of formulas and axioms ​  | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - S-R association is learned in a **single trial**; learning results in accumulated S-R associations ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - reinforcement has to do with the performance,​ not with learning ​ | 
-|  :::  |  :::  |  :::  | - later included **memory** as a factor in his theory ​ |
