Classical conditioning

A

think meat powder -> salivation with tone to orient response
then tone followed by meat powder -> salivation
then ton to cause salivation

17
Q

A

an organism learns to differentiate among similar stimuli (complementary process to stimulus generalization)

18
Q

what are applications of classical conditioning?

A

can lead to the development of intense, irrational fears of objects or situations (phobias)
-used in addictions treatment

19
Q

instrumental/operant conditioning

A

learning to consequences of behavior

20
Q

reinforcer in instrumental/operant conditioning

A

a stimulus event that increases the probability that the operant behavior will occur again
(positive strengthens the response if it follows that response)
(negative has an unpleasant stimulus that -if removed - strengthens the response that removes the stimulus)

21
Q

example of negative reinforcement

A

removing somethings that is unpleasant -say you have a headache on a boring date, date ends, you use it in future

22
Q

how does delay and size of reinforcement affect instrumental/operant conditioning

A

the effect of a reinforcer is stronger when it comes soon after a response occurs
the larger the reinforcer, the more vigorous the behavior

23
Q

what is the most effective reinforcement schedule?

A

variable interval - time interval that must elapse before next opportunity for reinforcement varies (for example gambling)

24
Q

fixed ratio vs fixed interval in partial reinforcement schedules in instrumental/operant conditioning

A

fixed ratio = fixed number of responses required for reinforcement
fixed interval: fixed set of time must elapse before next opportunity for reinforcement

25
Q

negative reinforcement vs punishment

A

negative reinforcement strengthens a behavior which punishment weakens
punishment is the presentation of an aversive stimulus or the removal of a pleasant one following some behavior

26
Q

what are the drawbacks of punishment?

A
  • does not “erase” an undesirable habit, merely suppresses it and can produce unwanted side effects
  • needs to be immediately after the response
  • can become aggression, abuse
  • only signals inappropriate behavior - not correct alternative
27
Q

cognitive therapy

A

aims to replace presumed distorted appraisals with more adaptive appraisals - helps patient monitor thoughts; recognize the relations among cognition, behavior and affect; test the validity of automatic thoughts; substitute more realistic cognitions; identify and later alter schemas that predispose people to think in negative ways

28
