Abstract

This paper presents an integrative framework or notional model for conceptualizing human learning which recognizes both environmental and internal or mediating determinants of behaviour. In line with the spirit of the times, the model accommodates the more traditional antecedents-behaviour-consequences (ABC) model with the rapidly emerging cognitive behaviour modification and psychophysiological literature. The five casks or boxes represent a dynamic interdepenent system elements. It is intended as a heuristic device for formulating and testing hypotheses, and as a reminder that apart from simple habits and reactions, human theses, and as a reminder that apart from simple habits and reactions, human behaviour is multiply determined, a product of interacting elements in a complex system.
