1. Communication Science

2. Cybernetics

3. Theory of perception

4. Economic theory

Learning Theory Behavioristic

• The Theory Of Connectionism, Thorndike

• Stimulus – response (S_R)

• Legal Readiness (Readiness)

• Exercises (Exercises)

• The Effect (Impact)

Donald p. Ely distinguishes two groups, namely:

1. Basic contributing field, namely:

a. Psychology
b. Communications
c. Evaluation
d. Management

2. contributing Related areas, namely:

a. cognitive psychology
b. perception Psychology

Trow and Haddan Tuesday suggested that the cornerstone of the TP is of psychology, such as:

1. The Association

2. Psychoanalysis

3. Gestalt

4. Behavioristic

Jerome s. Brunner (leaders of learning psychology cognitive) suggested that the learning process that includes three almost simultaneous, namely:

1. Getting new information

3. Study over the accuracy or the completeness of the knowledge

4. According to m. Gagne (Princes of behavioristic psychology) that: learning, in fact, is the change the ability and disposition of humans can be sustained, rather than solely growth process

5. Disposition = trend according to act a certain way

The results of the study according to Gagne is the shape:

1. verbal Information

2. intellectual Skills

3. cognitive Strategy

4. The attitude of the

5. Motor skills
