The humanistic learning process studies the whole person and the uniqueness of each individual. This learning process starts with the assumption that people have free will, they are good, and they are motivated to self-actualize. This process argues that objective reality is less important than a person's subjective perception and understanding of the world. The process is optimistic and focuses on the noble human capacity to overcome hardship, pain and despair. The humanistic learning process rejects the learning theory of behaviorism because it believe that people all start out in a good place, rather than learning good behavior.

Metacognition: The awareness of your brains thoughts and thought processes.

The theory of the cognitive learning process asks learners to look at thinking and mental processes, and how cognitive thinking can be influenced by external and internal factors. If your cognitive processes are working normally, it’s easier to learn. But if something is off with a cognitive process, it can cause difficulties. Cognitive learning can be broken down into social cognitive theory and cognitive behavioral theory. Social cognitive theory is the idea that learning happens in a social context and is impacted by the person, environment, and behavior. Student's internal thoughts, and external forces around them can both play an important role in their cognitive process. Social interactions, things they see around them, observed behavior, and how they interpret these things all impact behavior and learning. Behavioral cognitive theory is the idea that how we think, how we feel, and how we behave are all directly connected together. This means that our thoughts determine our feelings and behavior. If students think they aren't good at a certain subject, they are more likely to do poor and feel frustrated on those subjects assignments.

Operant Conditioning: Process where reinforcing or punishing consequences of actions affect behaviors. 

# data[].attributes.body
The behavioral learning process focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment. This theory believes that this is how students learn. The behavioral theory is key for educators because it impacts how students react and behave in the classroom.
The most common factor of behavioral learning is positive reinforcement, for example the student gets an A on the test and then the teacher provides them with some type of reward. A behavior being learned (the operant) increases in fluency or likelihood because performing it makes a reinforcement available (Seifert & Sutton, 2021). The motivation of the students is increasing when they know their is a reward or reinforcement at the end. The teacher is the motivator for the students when using this theory.
