Hypnosis begins with
Induction
Hypnosis is followed by
Suggestions

-hypnosis enhances memory
Two main theories of hypnosis
-social cognitive theory
-dissociation theory
Social cognitive theory

-including ability to respond to suggestions
Dissociation theory
Main part of a person is hypnotized and impacted
Another part is a hidden observer, unaffected and just observes what is going on
-hypnosis bypasses sense of control we feel over our own behaviours

Learning
Change in an organisms behaviours or thoughts as a result of experience
Habituation
Process by which we respond less strongly over time to repeated stimuli
-reduces focus on safe things
Sensitization
Inc in vigour of behaviour that can result from repeated presentations of a stimulus or arousal from extraneous stimuli
Pavlov discoveries
Studies digestive processes in drugs
-dogs fed in the morning when hooked to a device measuring salvia output
-after few days dogs began salivating before they could see or smell food
-discovery of classical conditioning
Classical conditioning
Form of learning in which a neural stimulus comes to signal the occurrence of a second stimulus that elicits an automatic response
Unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
Naturally elicits an automatic response
Unconditioned response (UCR)
Elicited by UCS, the natural response to UCS
Neutral stimulus (NS)
A stimulus that does not naturally or normally elicit a response
Conditioned stimulus (CS)
Previously neutral stimulus that now elicits a response due to pairing with the UCS
Conditioned response (CR)
Response that is elicited by CS
Acquisition
Process of learning that the CS predicts the imminent arrival of UCS
-CS grows in strength with repeated pairings
-growth represents learning
Asymptote
When the CR occurs with every presentation of the CS and the CR is similar in magnitude to the UCR
-no further learning occurs
Extinction
When a CS is presented without the US, the CS will slowly lose the ability to elicit a CR
-predictive relationship between the CS and imminent arrival of UCS is broken
Spontaneous recovery
Seemingly extinct CR reappears if the CS is presented again following a delay after extinction
-CS reappears in somewhat weaker form
Renewal effect
When a response is extinguished in a setting different from the one in which the animal acquired it
-when restoring animal to OG setting, extinguished response reappears
-treatment of phobias
Stimulus generalization
-once a CS has been established similar stimuli may also produce a CR
-magnitude of CR produced by the new CS depends on its similarity to the old CS
Stimulus discrimination
occurs when we exhibit a less pronounced CR to CSs that differ from original CS
Higher order conditioning
Paring an NS with a CS and still get conditioning
Advertising
Paring products (NS) with attractive people having fun (UCS)
-have to be careful about latent inhibition
Fetishism
Sexual attraction to non living things
-arises from classical conditioning
-paring shoes (NS) with sex cues (naked people; UCS) that leads to sexual excitement
-eventually shoes (CS) leads to sexual excitement (UCR)
Drug tolerance
Using drugs in the same location leads to conditioned compensatory responses
Conditioned compensatory responses
When the cue (room or environment) leads to the opposite physiological reaction as the drug that should be coming room
-drinking at bar, vs drinking at home
The case of little albert
-11 month baby, afraid of noise but liked white rats
-shown white rat paired with sound of hammer blow to a gong (evoked fear response)
-after five days of training, albert was tested with various objects to replace rat (all in which were white except blocks and sealskin coat)
-each stimulus except for blocks produced a fear reaction
Operant conditioning
Is learning controlled by the consequences of the organisms behaviour
Stimulus —> response —> outcome
Target behaviour is (classical conditioning vs operant conditioning)
CC: elicited automatically
OC: emitted voluntarily
Behaviour is a function of (classical conditioning vs operant conditioning)
Cc: stimuli that precede the behaviour
Oc: consequences that follow the behaviour
Behaviour depends primarily on (classical conditioning vs operant conditioning)
Cc: autonomic ns
Oc: skeletal muscles
Law of effect was discovered by
Edward thorndike
law of effect
Basis for much of operant conditioning
-if a response in the prescience of a stimulus is followed by satisfaction, the bond between stimulus and response will be stronger
How did thorndike discover law of effect
Trained cats to escape a puzzle box
-hungry cats placed in the box, with food outside
-faster they get out of the box, faster they get food
Puzzle boxes
-long time to escape at first
-escaped more quickly each time
-process was gradual
Showed learning was incremental, did not occur through insight
Reinforcement
Any outcome that strengthens the probability of a response
Positive reinforcement
Behaviour followed by the presentation of a stimulus and behaviour is strengthened
Negative reinforcement
Behaviour is followed by the removal of stimulus and the behaviour is strengthened
Punishment
Any outcome that weakens the probability of a response
Positive punishment
Behaviour is followed by the presentation of a stimulus and the behaviour is weakened
Negative punishment
Behaviour is followed by the removal of a stimulus and the behaviour is weakened
Presenting stimulus, increases target behaviour
Positive reinforcement
Presenting a stimulus, decreases target behaviour
Positive punishment
Removing a stimulus, decreases target behaviour
Negative punishment
Removing a stimulus, increases target behaviour
Negative reinforcement
Scolding by a pet owner, reducing a dogs habit of chewing on shoes
Positive punishment
Giving a gold star on homework, resulting in a student studyin more
Positive reinforcement
Confiscating a favourite toy, stopping a child from throwing future tantrums
Negative punishment
Static on phone subsides when you stand in a specific spot in your room, causing you to stand there more often
Negative reinforcement
Disadvantages of punishments
-not effective for altering behaviour in many cases
-tells what NOT to do, opposed to what they SHOULD do
-creates anxiety (interferes with future learning)
-encourage subversive behaviour
-creates model for behaviour toward others
Discriminative stimulus S^d
Any stimulus that signals the presence of reinforcement
Spontaneous recovery
Sudden re-emergence of an extinguished CR or an extinguished operant response after a delay following extinction
Stimulus generalization
In classical conditioning:
-elicitation of a response by stimuli similar to the original CS
In operant conditioning:
-inc probability of responding in the presence of stimuli similar to original S^d
Stimulus discrimination
Displaying a less pronounced response to stimuli that differ from the original CS or S^d
Schedule reinforcement
The response requirement that must be met to obtain reinforcement
CRF- continous reinforcement schedules
Reinforce a behaviour every time it occurs
-fast learning, but labor intensive
-extinction can occur quickly
PRF- partial intermittent reinforcement schedules
Only some responses are reinforced
-slower learning but less labor intensive and more resistant to extinction
Four main types of schedules
-fixed ratio (FR)
-variable ratio (VR)
-fixed interval (FI)
-variable interval (VI)
Ratio schedules
Require a certain number of responses to be performed before a reinforcer is delivered
Interval schedules
Reinforce the first behaviour after period of time has elapsed
Fixed ratio schedule
Reinforcer delivered after a fixed number of responses
-pause after reinforcer delivered is common
-moderate rate of responding
Variable ratio schedule
Reinforcer delivered after a variable number of responses that average around a particular number
-no pauses seen
-very high rate of responding
Fixed interval schedule
First response after a specific period of time will lead to the delivery of a reinforcer
-responses before the interval has elapsed lead to nothing
-scalloped shaped response curve
Variable interval schedule
First response after a varying unpredictable period of time has elapsed
-period of time is entered around some average but still unpredictable
-responses before interval has elapsed to nothing
-moderate rate of responding no pauses
Variable interval schedule
First re

-memory illusions are common
How is memory malleable
Memories are constructed from small fragments of information
Hyperthymestic syndrome
People can often recall every detail of every day in perfect clarity y
-blessing and a curse
Sensory memory
Brief storage system for perceptual information before it passes onto short term memory
-lasts a second
-iconic (visual) vs echoic (auditory) memory
Photographic memory
Eidetic imagery is extremely rare
-hold a visual image in their mind and describe it perfectly
-due to unusually long iconic sensory memory
Short term memory/STM
Retains limited amount of information for limited duration
-working memory (info we currently think about)
Duration of STM
No greater than 20 seconds without control processes
Control processes
Are things we can do to keep refreshing information in STM so it doesn’t degrade
Memory loss in STM can come from two sources
Decay- loss of STM info due to time
Interference- new and old info create conflict that causes information to be lost
Two types of interference
Proactive- old info causes problems for learning about new inter reference
Retroactive- new learning causes problems for earlier learning
Millers magic number
Capacity of short term memory is 7 plus or minus 2 items
Average adults have digit span of 5 and nine
Increasing STM capacity by
Chunking
-group items into larger bits
Increasing duration
Rehearsal
-maintenance: simply repeating info back in its original form, effortless
-elaborative: things we need to remember by linking them together in a meaningful way, effort ful
Levels of processing /LOP
That the more meaningfully we engage in material the better we remember it
-range from shallow to deep
Long term memory/ LTM

Retrieval
Process of getting information from our long term memory and bringing it to conscious awareness
Relearning: ebbinghaus

Law of distributed vs massed practice
Learning material over many short bursts leads to much more effective retrieval than learning in one long session
Tip of the tongue phenomena
Experience of knowing we know something but cannot get the details out at the right time
-error of retrieving not encoding
Encoding specificity
Phenomena where we are more likely to remember info when their is a match between conditions at study (encoding) and test (retrieval)

-stress
How to combat problems with eyewitness testimony
Use cognitive interviewing—> procedure to interview witness that is based on what is known about memory retrieval and errors
