Approaches to learning: Classical Conditioning Flashcards
Learning
a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of experience
-can be intentionally= e.g someone taking piano lessons
-Can be unintentional+ e,g watching or hearing someone else play the piano
-Stored in LTM
-The change can be immediate or delayed and occur sometime after learning has taken place.
Conditioning
the learning process by which the behaviour of an organism becomes dependent on an event or stimulus occurring in the environment.
Summary of the conditions
Classical: learning through associations
Observational: Learning through watching
Operant: learning is influenced by consequence
Aboriginal and Torres Staut Islander people: learn through relationships with ppl and the country
who discovered Pavlo experiment
By Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlo in 1899 while he was researching the digestive system of dogs.
Classical Conditioning
Type of learning that occurs through repeated association of 2 or more different stimuli.
where the learner is passive=involuntary e.g salvation
What are the key terms when analyzing classical conditioning:
The unconditioned stimulus UCS
the unconditioned response UCR
the Neutral stimulus NS
Conditioned Stimulus CS
The conditioned Response CR
The unconditioned Stimulus
any stimulus that constantly produces a particular response, automated response.
In pavlo:
Foods= UCS
The unconditioned response UCR
the response occurs automatically when UCS is presented. UCR is a reflective INVOLUNTARY response that is caused by UCS
In pavlo–> salvation by the presence of food
The Neutral Stimulus (NS)
any stimulus that does not normally produce a predictable response
IN pavlo dogs dont salivate by the bell
Conditioned Stimulus CS
Stimulus that is neutral at the start of the conditioning response but eventually produces a very similar response that is caused by the UCS.
The conditioned response CR
The learned or acquired response to the conditioned stimulus.
The three-phase model of classical conditioning:
BEFORE CONDITIONING
NS produces no relevant response, unconditioned (unlearned) stimulus (UCS) elicits the unconditioned response (UCR)
During Conditioning
when the Neutral stimulus and unconditioned (unlearnt) stimulus is repeatedly paired to produce UCR
After Conditioning
NS becomes conditioned stimulus (learnt); CS produces a conditioning response (CR) wjhoch is usually similar to the previously unconditioned response.
Which of the stimulus is learned?
Conditioned stimulus
conditioned respsosne
