What’s this about
LEARNING?
Learning & Conditioning-
Generalization, Extinction, Discrimination & Spontaneous Recovery
Learning
Learning relatively
permanent change in an organism’s behavior due to experience
Learning vs Conditioning
Stimulus A(The word ball)
Thought of B(Mental image of a ball)
Thought of B(Mental image of a ball)
Learning Experience
After Learning
Neutral stimulus(Bell)
Unconditioned response(Salivation)
Conditioned response(Salivation)
Conditioning Procedure
After Conditioning
Unconditioned stimulus(Food)
Conditioned stimulus(Bell)
Stimulus A(The word ball)
Stimulus B(Sight of a ball)
Classical Conditioning
Ivan Pavlov 1849-1936 Russian
physician/ neurophysiologist
Nobel Prize in 1904
studied digestive secretions
Classical Conditioning
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) stimulus that unconditionally--automatically and
naturally--triggers a response
Unconditioned Response (UCR) unlearned, naturally occurring response to the
unconditioned stimulus
Classical Conditioning
Conditioned Stimulus (CS) originally irrelevant stimulus that, after
association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response
Conditioned Response (CR) learned response to a previously neutral
conditioned stimulus
Classical or Pavlovian Conditioning

Classical Conditioning
Pavlov’s device for recording salivation
Classical Conditioning
Acquisition the initial stage in classical conditioning the phase associating a ns with an ucs so that
the ns comes to elicit a cr
Classical Conditioning
Extinction diminishing of a CR in classical conditioning, when a
UCS does not follow a CS
Classical Conditioning
Strengthof CR
Pause
Acquisition(CS+UCS)
Extinction(CS alone)
Extinction(CS alone)
Spontaneousrecovery ofCR
Classical Conditioning
Spontaneous Recovery reappearance, after a rest
period, of an extinguished CR Generalization
tendency for stimuli similar to CS to elicit similar responses
Classical Conditioning
Discrimination in classical conditioning, the learned
ability to distinguish between a CS and other stimuli that do not signal a UCS

Behaviorism
John B. Watson Baby Albert Experiment Conditioned humans &
emotional response

Operant Conditioning- Review
What is Operant Conditioning? type of learning in which behavior is
strengthened if followed by reinforcement or diminished if followed by punishment
What is the Law of Effect? Thorndike’s principle that behaviors followed by
favorable consequences become more likely, and behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely
Operant Conditioning
B.F. Skinner (1904-1990) elaborated
Thorndike’s Law of Effect
developed behavioral technology
Show clip- “Skinner Boxes”
Waldon Two- A utopian Community?The lollipop experimentwww.twinoaks.org
Operant Conditioning
Shaping operant conditioning procedure in
which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer approximations of a desired goal
Hot/ Cold Game
Principles of Reinforcement
Primary Reinforcer innately reinforcing stimulus i.e., satisfies a biological need
Conditioned ( secondary)Reinforcer stimulus that gains its reinforcing power
through its association with primary reinforcer
Experiment- Conditioning the Teacher
How do Punishment & NR differ?
Punishment aversive event that decreases the
behavior that it follows NR- Precedes behavior and
decreases frequency EX?
Cognition and Operant Conditioning
Cognitive Map mental representation of the layout of one’s
environment Example: after exploring a maze, rats act as
if they have learned a cognitive map of it
Latent Learning learning that occurs, but is not apparent until
there is an incentive to demonstrate it
Cognition and Operant Conditioning
Intrinsic Motivation desire to perform a behavior for its
own sake and to be effective Extrinsic Motivation
desire to perform a behavior due to promised rewards or threats of punishments
Survey…..
Observational Learning
Observational Learning learning by observing and
imitating others ( modeling)
Observational Learning
Alfred Bandura’s Experiments Bobo doll we look and we
learn Prosocial
behavior
Does TV Make children Violent?
It can magnify predisposition to violence in males.
Increase aggressive response in non-violent males
Almost no impact on femalesMore than two hours per day before age
five increases rate of ADD.Critique of Studies?
