Chapter 6 Learning Flashcards
learning
The modification through experience of pre existing behavior and understanding
Allows up to build motor skills to walk
Habituation
The process of adapting to stimuli that do not change
Eventually lose awareness of your glasses
Sight: Nose Hearing: A/C Hum Smell: your house Touch: clothes Taste: saliva
Classical Conditioning
A procedure in which a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that elicits a reflex or response until the neutral stimulus alone comes to elicit a similar response
Ex. Pavlov’s Dog
Reconditioning
The quick relearning of a conditioned response following extinction
Sound of a can opener followed by food= salivation. link.
Take away link. Introduce it again later
Discriminative conditioned stimuli
Stimuli that signal whether reinforcement is available if a certain response is made
Joke at office. Not at funeral.
Partial reinforcement effect
A phenomena in which behaviors learned under a partial reinforcement schedule are made more difficult to extinguish that behaviors learned on a continuous reinforcement schedule
Candy machine vs. slot machine
Ivan Pavlov
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
Salivation. Meat powder. Dogs.
NS+UCS=UCR
CS=CR
Edward Thorndike

CATS

BF Skinner
Rats/pigeons
Operant conditioning ->
Skinner box
David Premack
List of behavioral preferences
Ex.
Mom says son can drive car if they mow lawn
List of behavioral preferences-> Premack’s Principle
Wolfgang Kohler
CHIMPS!
Learning-> INSIGHT
“Aha!”
Albert Bandura

Observational learning came about through secondhand or vicarious experience
Observational learning most powerful sources of the socialization process
Learned helplessness
Learning that responses do not affect consequences, resulting in failure to try to exert control over the environment.
“Shock happens”
