Approaches to Learning: Behavioural and Social Flashcards
What is a key element in learning
Reinforcement
What are some assumptions of behaviourism
Observable behaviour rather than internal
thought processes are the focus of study
The environment shapes one’s behaviour
The principles of contiguity and reinforcement are central to explaining the learning process.
What are the three behaviourism theories
Classical Conditioning
Operant conditioning
Social Learning Theory
What type of behaviourism theory is associated with this example:
Have you ever noticed that once your dog

Classical Conditioning
_____________ is a basic form of learning in which one stimulus comes to serve as a

What are the 4 basic concepts of Classical Conditioning
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) Unconditioned Response (UC) Conditioned response (CRR)) Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Which basic concept of conditioning is associated with one that
unconditionally, naturally, and automatically triggers a response
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
Which basic concept of conditioning is associated with the unlearned
response that occurs naturally and automatically in response to the presence
of the unconditioned stimulus
Unconditioned Response (UC)
Which basic concept of conditioning is associated with a previously Neutral
Stimulus (NS) that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a
conditioned response
Conditioned response (CRR))
Which basic concept of conditioning is associated with the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus, i.e. feeling hungry when you hear the sound of the whistle
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Examples of Classical Conditioning
Advertising
Excretory functions
Fear
Which basic concept of conditioning is associated with learning that occurs due to the manipulation of the possible consequences
Operant conditioning
