behaviousim social learning theory
what are some assumptions about behavism
.Thought processes are subjective and impossible to test scientifically but behaviour can be observed and measured scientifically
, being born a blank slate (we are only learnt through experiences ie environment )
.bioilogycal factors playing a limited role ie our desire for food
Laws that govern behaviour are the same in animals and humans
what is classical conditioning
humans and animals only learing involotayl acts only though environmental stimules
. what are the 3 ways that classical conditioning are conditioned
.
. what is a neutral stimulus (NS)
a stimiles that dosnt have a respomce
. what is a contextual info ab stimulus
you dont have a response because you weren’t born with the innate response to it
what is unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
stimules that hasnt produced a uncondioned response
more info ab (UCS)
.. unconed means unleant and that the learner already has a response to it an doesn’t need to be taught it ie you dogs dontv need to lean how to produce sliiavate when there is food bc there learnt it before incident of classical conditioning ( humans and animals leaning things thought the environment )
. what is the contextual info on cs
meaning learnt and a particular stimuls
T. what is Pre- conditioned stage
.meaning the particpant is exposed to the NS and the UCS sepretly and there is no learning occurred
what is the conditioned stage
when the paticipant is exposed to the NS and UCS at the same time
.stage where the learner is learning to put the 2 stimule to ger but. there is no learning being occurred bc the NS isn’t paired with the ucs for it to learn
T. what is the post-conditioning stage
wher elearing is ouucred as the the ns and ucs are being displayed at the same time the ns will be relabled with a cs
what is pavlovas research into classical conditions
.revelsed that a do will silver at the sound of a bell if they were given food
.and over the dog will think that the bell (NS) and the food will be the (Un conditioned stimulus ) leading it to produce a conditioned response meaning salvation every time the bell rings
what is operant condoning?
. is a behaviorist theory where animals and humans learn to change their strength by pairing voluntary acts with environmental consequences
How does learning in operant conditioning
.stimules (change in enviomnment )
.responce (with a behaviour)
.reinforcement (the environment has a consequence ) either strengthing it or making it weaker
what are the types of operant conditioning
. positive reinforcement
. negative reinforcement
.punishment
what is positive reinforcement
consequences of a behaviour is something the leaner desires that strengthen the behaviour
what are the negative reinforcements
.conseyes of a behaviour of what they do and puts a negative thing like more hm that will strengthen the behaviour
what was Skinner resarch in operant condiong
. he conducted experiments with rats and pigeons in a skinner box where it was a designed cage
.as he wanted to test if animals responded to stimulus
How did Skinner provide evidence for positive reinforcement?
provided postive reinforcement by showing that rats would press the leaver more than once if it was rewarded with food
How did skinner provide evidence for punishment
.less likely to press the lever in response to a light If doing so resulted in the electric grid turning on
what is extinction in classical condoning
for an extended period, the condined stimuli isn’t paired with the unconditioned stimulus leading to the association between the stimuli being lost and the cc weakening
what is extension in operant conditioning
the environmental consequences don’t follow the behaviour leading the companies not to work anymore
