What is Learning to Behaviorist?
A relatively change in behavior that arises from practice or experience, they only measure behavior
what is learning to Cognitive Psychologist?
Learning = a mental change that may or may not be associated with changes in behavior
Unconditional Stimulus
(UCS), unlearned and it elicits an unconditioned response (UCR)
Neutral Stimulus (NS):
elicits only an orienting reflex
automatically turning toward a novel stimulus
Conditioned Stimulus
(CS), learned after pairing with (UCS)
previously neutral stimulus, Elicits a conditioned response (CR)
Taste Aversion: Different than classical conditioning because?
it can be formed after only one association, The unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus don't have to be together..the association is formed after one pairing
Extinction:
Process by which a conditioned stimulus loses the ability to elicit conditioned responses
Why does extinction happen?
Happen because the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus
Spontaneous Recovery
The recovery of a Conditioned Response after extinction
Generalization
The tendency for a Conditioned response to be evoked by stimuli similar to the original Conditioned Stimulus
Discrimination
Organisms must: learn that many stimuli perceived as being similar are functionally different, Respond adaptively to each
High-Order Conditioning
A previous neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus after being paired repeatedly with another conditioned stimulus
Counter Conditioning
Used to reduce fears and it introduces pleasant experiences instead of negative in the pairing, until the initial response is extinguished, used as way to get rid of phobias
Flooding
No positive feelings are involved, exposes the client with the feared object until the fear response is extinguished
Systemic Desensitization
GRADUALLY exposes the client to the feared object under circumstances where they remain relaxed
Operant conditioning
Learning based on consequences of that particular behavior, introduced by Skinner
Concepts of Reinforcement:
Focus is on operant behavior
behavior that operates on or manipulates the environment, VOLUNTARY, get a stimulus then you do some voluntary behavior
Types of Reinforcers:
Reinforcer
any stimulus that increases the probability that responses preceding it will be repeated
Types of Reinforcers:
Positive Reinforcers
increasing the probability that the behavior will occur when they're applied
Types of Reinforcers:
Negative Reinforcers
Increases the probability that the behavior will occur when they're moved, TAKING AWAY
Primary Reinforcers
Similar to the Unconditioned Stimulus
Example. food, water, warmth,
Secondary Reinforcers
Similar to the Conditioned Stimulus,
Sometimes called conditioned reinforcers
Example grades, awards, honors
Operant Extinction
occurs as as result of repeated performance of operant behavior without reinforcement, Boyfriend and Girl friend example
Spontaneous Recovery:
The reinforcer returns and the behavior increases, Boy friend and girl friend feelings come back
Schedules of Reinforcement:
Continuous Reinforcement
Reinforcement after every response, new behaviors acquired more rapidly
EVERY TIME
Schedules of Reinforcement:
Partial Reinforcement
also maintain behavior, reinforce behavior part of the time, behavior is more resistant to extinction - if you raise your hand you may get called on here and there, but not everytime
Fixed Interval:
a fixed amount of time between the times when reinforcement occurs, every single time
Variable Interval:
A variable amount of time occurs between reinforcements, every 2 or 3 times, or every 3 or 4 times something might happen
Shaping
Reinforces Progressive steps toward the behavioral goal, successive approximation of the goal, GRADUAL
who is the creator of forming Cognitive maps?
Tolman
Cognitive Maps
Tolman, rats learn about their environment in the absence of reinforcement, this knowledge can be used later, learning might retain hidden until they were motivated to behave, Distinguish between learning and performance
who is the creator of the Contigency theory?
Rescorla
Contigency theory
Rescorla, co appearance of two events cannot in itself explain classical conditioning, Learning occurs only when the Conditioned stimulus provides info about the unconditioned stimulus, Learning occurs because a Conditioned stimulus indicates that the UCS is likely to follow
The Creator of observational learning?
Bandura
Observation Learning
we can acquire skills by observing the behavior of a model, a person who engages in a response to be imitated, observers said to be vicariously reinforced, we don't have to actually experience the event ourselves
Bandura, Ross and Ross (1963)
conducted a study using a bobo doll, children who observed aggressive model showed significantly more aggressive behavior toward the doll themselve
