Based on learning theories,how could you have learned material better.how could you apply this information

After knowing about those learning theories, my way of learning changed effectively.I'm asking reason,logic and cause to believe anything.

Before getting emotional to any physical stimulus i'm asking my self " why that physical stimulus exciting me". In this way i found many reasons for my questions. I found many universal facts, i rejected many superstitions, i found many logics, i'm observing casue and effect in my surroundings. In this way classical conditioning helped me to learn material better.

If somebody wants to persuade my behaviour through operant conditioning. I'm thinking that "Why they are trying to persuade my behaviour, What they gain by persuade my behaviour".In this way i became very clever in my social relations.That type of thinking saved me from many problems. Because blindly believing others actions creates problems. If we observed those behaviours logically we can avoid problems. In this way i became as clever person in my social relations by learning operant conditioning theory.

While learning anything i using my mental abilities effectly.I'm observing my surroundings with my whole strength.I started learning through hearing,seeing etc., By modeling also i started learning.In this way i increased my learning abilities by learning social learning theory.

How could i apply those information:

1. I'm applying those information to effective observation

2.To find logic,reason, cause and effect for everything

3.To avoid superstitions

4.For better social relationships

5.To use my common sense effectively

6.To gain more knowledge day by day.
