Ivan Pavlov
Dogs: Classical Conditioning
Classical Conditioning
Involuntary learned response.
Association between 2 stimuli
Equation
NS+UCS = UCR
CS=CR
Acquisition
Initial Learning
Generalization
Stimuli similar = same response
Stimulus Discrimination
Not reacting to similar stimuli
Exinction
Los of Association
Spontaneous Recvoery
After Extinction - reappearance of conditioned response
Higher Order COnditioning
Being conditioned beyond the original stimulus
Simultaneous Conditioning
CS and UCS
Backward Conditioning
UCS before NS
Watson
Little Albert: Association with emotions
Rescarla

Positive reinforcement
Response followed by an addition to stimulus
Ex. Getting screen time for good grade
Negative reinforcement

Punishment
Decreases Behavior
Positive Punishment
Application
