HE - LECTURE #2 Flashcards
who made the theory of Classical Conditioning
Ivan Pavlov
A learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and naturally occurring stimulus
Classical Conditioning
The dog salivates immediately after he smells the newly cooked food. While, the dog has no response with the whistle sound and will not salivate, because it does not see the association between the whistle sound and the food. However, when you continually connect and put the two together, the dog will salivate. Continue doing that until the dog realizes that when the whistle is blown, it automatically associates it with the food coming and salivates. What example is this?
Classical Conditioning
patients in the psych ward are taught: bell = medication time. What example is this?
classical conditioning
who made the theory of connectionism theory
EDWARD THORNDIKE
TRIAL+ERROR relationship between the stimulus (S) and the response (r)
connectionism theory
what are the 3 laws of connectionism theory
law of effect
law of readiness
law of exercise
Satisfying results = increase in certain response
Unsatisfying results = decrease in response
what law of connectionism theory?
law of effect
ready to learn = satisfied in learning
Ready to learn but does not learn = Annoyed student
Not ready to learn and does not learn = Annoyed student
Thus, have a patient whose ready to learn and eventually learn something from you for them to be satisfied in learning
law of readiness
“If you don’t use it,you lose it”
Law of exercise
what is the role of the teacher? (3)
respond with reinforcement (law of effect)
motivate student to learn ( law of readiness)
repeat + emphasize (law of exercise)
who made the theory of operant conditioning
bf skinner
a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior; specific consequences are associated with a voluntary behavior
operant conditioning
difference of classical and operant conditioning
classical is involuntary response
operant is voluntary behavior
who made the theory of behaviorism theory
John Watson
the acquisition of new behavior based on environmental conditions; behavior can be CONTROLLED or MODIFIED based on antecedents and consequences of a behavior
behaviorism theory
John Watsons meaning of behavior (5)
was obvious and practical
was muscle movement
results of a series of conditioned reflexes
all emotions and thought is a result of behavior
learned through conditioning
what are the 3 aspects of behaviorism
anyone can be trained for a task
behavior is acquired by conditioning
behavior is observable and measurable
who made the theory of contiguity theory
Edwin Ray Guthrie
States that if a pattern of simulation and a response occur together in time and space, learning occur together in time and space, learning occurs by the formation of associations between them
contiguity theory
states that a behavior (response) will be repeated if the same situation or stimulus will be experienced again
contiguity theory
study of how our brains work in the process of perceiving, thinking, remembering, and learning
cognitive psychology
focus of cognitive psychology
mental processes
who made the insight theory
Wolfgang kohler
refers to the sudden realization of the solution of any problem without repeated trials or continuous practices
insight theory
2 characteristics of insight theory
Insight represents seeing CLEARLY into the essence of a situation
It is NOT a step by step process but partially by unconscious process
they figure it out along the way; they don’t need to repeat it again and again
unconscious process
4 stages of insight learning
preparation
incubation
insight
verification
stage of insight learning; problem cannot be solved, data gathering
preparation
