Q

Are phobias the result of classical or operant conditioning? Why?

A

Classical.. Stimulus linked with anxiety reaction (environment has control)
They’re maintained by operant conditioning (you have control)

A

You are conditioned to escape shock

eg. learned helplessness

68
Q

A

The effect of the drug and the compensatory effect

70
Q

What is the compensatory effect of a drug?

A

What is the major criticism of classical conditioning?

A

It’s often artificial

72

What is spontaneous recovery of a conditioned response?

A

When the conditioned response comes back after a period of non-exposure to the conditioned stimulus

comes back after it has been extinguished

73
Q

Can conditioned responses be extinguished?

A

yes!

74
Q

True or false, if you reconditioned an extinguished conditioned response, it’d come back quicker

A

A

How much time elapses between the conditioned response and the unconditioned stimuli.. How long should it be for the best conditioning?

76
Q

What is forward conditioning?

A

When the conditioned response comes before the unconditioned response

77
Q

What is simultaneous conditioning?

A

Interstimulus interval is 0

the CR and UCS overlap and occur at the same time

78
Q

What is the Interstimulus interval? What happens if it is 0?

A

It is the time between the CR and UCS

If it is 0, then simultaneous conditioning occurs

79

85
Q

Can a phobia be a result of classical conditioning?

A

Yes

86
Q

88
Q

Can classical conditioning affect psychological processes?

A

yes

eg. immunosuppression

89
Q

Can classical conditioning underlie the development of fetishes?

A

yes

90
Q

What are the three basic processes in classical conditioning?

A

Acquisition: forming new responses
Extinction: weakening conditioned responses
Spontaneous recovery: resurrecting responses

91
Q

True or false, according to Pavlov, acquisition of a conditioned response depends on _________

A

Stimulus contiguity

constant reinforcement of the two stimuli being present at the same time

92
Q

True or false, evidence suggests that stimuli that are novel, unusual, or intense have more potential to become conditioned stimuli

A

True

93
Q

What is the renewal effect?

A

if a response is extinguished in a different env than it was acquired, the extinguished response will reappear if the animal is returned to the original enviornment where it was acquired

94
Q

True or false, extinction only suppresses a conditioned response, meaning that it hasn’t been fully unlearned

A

True

95
Q

True or false, the reason why conditioned phobias are so hard to fully extinguish permanently is because of the renewal effect/spontaneous recovery

A

True

it randomly comes back at times

96
Q

True or false, after conditioning has occured, organisms often show a tendency to respond not only to the exact conditioned stimulus used but also to other, similar stimuli

A

Yes

Think little albert being afraid of white fluffy things

97
Q

What is stimulus generalization?

A

When an organism that has learned a response to a specific stimulus responds in the same way to similar stimuli

98
Q

What is stimulus discrimination?

A

when an organism that has learned a response to a specific stimulus doesn’t respond to similar stimuli..

think: dog responding to your car only

99
Q

True or false, the development of stimulus discrimination requires the original conditioned stimulus (your car) continues to be paired with the unconditoned stimulus (your arrival)

A

True

100
Q

True or false, the less similar new stimuli are to the original conditioned stimulus (car) the greater likelihood of discrimination

A

True

101
Q

What is high-order conditioning?

A

a conditioned stimulus functions as if it were an unconditioned stimulus

think: tone being paired with a light elicits the same response

102
Q

In what type of conditioning does the organism operate on the environment?

A

Operant conditioning

103
Q

True or false, in operant conditioning, learning occurs because responses come to be influenced by the outcomes that follow them

A

True

104
Q

What does the term, “instrumental learning,” introduced by Thorndike mean?

A

operant conditioning

105
Q

What does Thorndikes “law of effect” mean?

A

if a response in the presence of a stimulus leads to satisfying effects, the association between the stimulus and the response is strengthened

think: cat in the box with food

106
Q

What is reinforcement?

A

when an event following a response increase an organisms tendency to make that response

behaviour –> response to behaviour +/- —–> effect on beh. tendency

107
Q

True or false, because operant responses tend to be voluntary, they are said to be emitted rather than elicited

A

True

108
Q

What is the cumulative recorder in a skinner box?

A

pencil dragged along a piece of paper that creates a graphic record of responding and reinforcement in a skinner box as a function of time

109
Q

What are the 3 basic processes in operant conditioning?

A

Acquisition/shaping: learning by reinforcement of desired response
Extinction: gradual weakening/dissapearance of resp. b/c lack of reinf.
Generalization and Discrimination

110
Q

What is shaping? (operant conditioning)

A

the reinforcement of closer and closer approximations of a desired response

think: rewarding a puppy everytime he gets closer to the bell in order to teach him how to ring the bell

111
Q

How is operant conditioning extinction different from classical conditioning extinction?

A

in operant conditioning, extinction happens because reinforcement does not follow the response tendency (desired behaviour)

112
Q

What is resistance extinction? (operant conditioning)

A

When an organism continues to make a response after delivery of the reinforcer has been terminated

113
Q

Can the renewal effect occur with operant conditioning?

A

Yes

114
Q

What is a discriminative stimulus? (operant conditioning)

A

Cues that influence operant behaviour by indicating the probable consequences of a response.

eg. birds pecking ony when the disk is lit, because they know the chances they’ll get reinforcement are high

115
Q

Operant theorists make a distinction between primary reinforcers and secondary reinforcers.. what is the difference?

A

Primary: events that are inherently reinforcing b/c they satisfy bio needs
Secondary: events that require reinforcing qualit. by being associated with primary reinforcers (eg. money, good grades) people learn to find good clothing and travelling reinforcing

116
Q

What is continuous reinforcement?

A

when every instance of a designated response is reinforced

eg. telling a child they’re good every time they do something good

117
Q

What is intermittent reinforcement?

A

When a designated response is reinforced only some of the time

leads to extinction resistance

118
Q

What are the 2 main types of reinforcement schedules?

A

Ratio Schedules

Interval Schedules

119
Q

What are the two types of ratio schedules?

A

Fixed ratio: server gets a bonus for every 4th dessert sold
Variable ratio: a server is reinforced for every 10th desert, on avg… the exact number of deserts sold required for reinforcement varies from one time to the next

120
Q

What are the two types of interval schedules?

A

they require time to pass between the presentation of reinforcers
Fixed interval: rat is reinforced for the first lever press after 1 min interval has passed but must wait another minute to get the next rein.
Variable interval: a person repeatedly dials a busy phone number, getting through is the reinforcer.. you don’t know how long it’ll take

121
Q

True or false, ratio schedules tend to produce more rapid responding than interval schedules.. if so, why?

A

True

because faster responding leads to reinforcement sooner

122
Q

What is the difference between positive and negative reinforcement?

A

Positive: response is strengthened bc it is followed by rewarding stimul
Neg: response is strengthened bc it is followed by removal of an unpleasant stimulus. it IS reinforcement

eg. you clean your come to get rid of a big mess

123
Q

What is escape learning?

A

when an organism acquires a response that decreases or ends some adversive stimulation

eg. turning on the ac when the apartment is ridiculously hot

124
Q

What is avoidance learning?

A

a response that prevents some aversive stimulation from occurring

think: rat seeing light before shock happens.. response would be running to a safe room

125
Q

What does punishment do to an organisms tendency to make a particular response?

A

decreaes/weakens the tendency to make a particular response

126
Q

What 5 things make punishment effective?

A 
applying it right away
make it just severe enough
make it consistent
explain it
non-physical
127
Q

What type of reinforcement is used when someone gets a speeding ticket and is fined?

A

Punishment

128
Q

Identify 3 biological constraints on conditioning

A

instinctive drift
conditioned taste aversion
preparedness and phobias

129
Q

What is instinctive drift?

A

when an animals innate response tendencies interfere with conditioning processes

eg. giving coins to raccoons.. associated with the food reward brought out its innate food washing habit

130
Q

What is conditioned taste aversion?

A

When nausea follows eating a particular food, it is considered conditioned to that particular food

131
Q

What is preparedness?

A

predisposition to be conditioned in certain ways and not others
being prepared to be afraid of snakes

132
Q

Explain the 4 points of Ohman and Mineka’s elaboration of the preparedness theory

A

activated by stimuli related to survival threats in history
automatically activated by these stimuli
relatively resistant to to conscious efforts to suppress fears
dependent on neural circuitry running through amygdala

133
Q

Explain the evolutionary perspective on learning

A

basic mechanisms of learning are similar across species but have been modified in the course of evolution, as species have adapted to the demands of their own environment

Q

What is Tolman known for?

A

developed one of the first major cognitive theories of learning

135
Q

True or false, today, theorists have shifted towards more cognitive explanations of conditioning

A

True

136
Q

What is latent learning?

A

learning that is not apparent from behaviour when it first occurs

think: the different groups of rats had been learning all about the maze, but they didn’t have motivation until the reinforcement was present

137
Q

Why did the latent learning theory present a challenge for the other types of learning?

A

1- suggested learning can happen without reinforcement
2- introduced a cognitive component (mapping out the maze) when cognitive processes were considered irrelevant to understand conditioning

138
Q

What is Rescorla known for?

A

Signal Relations
manipulates the predictive value of a conditioned stimulus
introduced predictions and expectations into the models of learning

139
Q

True or false, in response-outcome relations, organisms try to figure out what leads to what leads to what

A

True

140
Q

Are there species specific biological constraints on classical conditioning?

A

yes

141
Q

What is observational learning?

A

when an organisms responding is influenced by the observation of others, who are called models

142
Q

What theorist studied observational learning the most in depth?

A

Bandura

143
Q

True or false, according to Bandura, both classical and operant conditioning can take place through observational learning

A

True

144
Q

What are the 4 basic processes of observational learning?

A

attention: you must pay attention to someones behav + consequences
retention: you must store the memory
reproduction: you need to be able to reenact it
motivation: you must be motivated to reproduce an observed response

145
Q

What do mirror neurons do?

A

neurons that are activated by performing an action or by seeing another monkey or person perform the same action

146
Q

True or false, observational learning can account for the influence of mass media on behaviour

A

True

147
Q

What is inhibition?

A

As we split wood, we are building up inhibition to OPPOSE said activity.If you’re highly motivated you will ignore inhibition.

148
Q

True or false, if something has a steep learning curve, it will have a very low extinction curve

A

True

149
Q

What are the 4 measures of habit strength?

A

1- magnitiude of response (eg. amt of saliva)
2- latency–> the time that expires between the presentation of CS and CR
3- probability of the CR occuring
4- resistant to extinction

150
Q

What did Clark Hull identify as the 2 major components of learning?

A

1- associative component: knowing material, “if this occurs, then that occurs”
2- drive/motivation: how motivated are you?

151
Q

What 3 things does Bandura believe that contribute to who we choose who me model from?

A

1- how much prestige the model has
2- how much affection we have for the model
3- how attractive the model is (very respected, not how “pretty they are”

152
Q

What is vicarious learning?

A

Vicarious learning: you observed what happened to your siblings after they misbehaved, this allowed you to avoid thier concequences

153
Q

What is Tutelage?

A

Tutelage: didactic learning. Formal tutoring. Direct form of observational learning, through instruction

154
Q

What is implosion therapy?

A

1- implosion therapy: counterconditioning.. “imagine what you fear”
often referred to “in-vitro” therapy. After imagining the worst that could happen, NOTHING HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE, so eventually the maladaptive behaviour is extinguished.

155
Q

What type of extinction therapy is often referred to as “in-vitro” therapy?

A

implosion therapy

156
Q

What is flooding?

A

flooding therapy: repeated exposure to what they’re afraid of. Should be very carefully done. “In-vivo” therapy.

157
Q

What is generational continuity?

A

You will often use the same disciplinary techniques on your own children that your parents have used on you.

158
Q

True or false, reward training is more effective than any form of punishment training?

A

True

159
Q

Why is punishment ineffective?

A
  • children don’t understand what it is aimed at
  • childrens parents emotions cause it, no rhyme or reason
  • unpredictable
