SR (Stimulus-Response) Psychology
classical and operant conditioning, proposes that learning involves the relatively automatic formation of bonds b/w a stimulus and a response
S-O-R (Cognitive) Model of Learning
between the stimulus and response is the organism’s representation of the world
S > O > R
Latent learning
posited by Edward Tolman, rats in a maze
Insight learning scientist
Wolfgang Kohler (studied chimps)
observational learning
learning by watching others, may rely on mirror neurons, children use adults and peers as models, modeling and imitation
4 observational learning processes
attention, retention, reproduction, motivation
attention
we must concentrate on the model’s behavior; modeling
retention
we must keep that information in memory so that it can be recalled when needed
reproduction
we must be physically capable of reproducing the model’s behavior; imitation
motivation
we must be motivated to display the behavior
Operant motivation
direct reinforcement or punishment
Observational learning motivation
vicarious reinforcement or punishment
