    The document summarizes three major learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism, represented by Watson and Skinner, focuses on observable behaviors and conditioning. Cognitivism, represented by Piaget, Bruner, and others, emphasizes how information is organized and structured in memory. Constructivism, also represented by Piaget and Vigotsky, stresses that learning is active and learners construct knowledge based on their experiences.
