Learning Flashcards
Classical conditioning
Stimulus (food) (unconditioned stim)—>unconditioned response
Bell makes you feel hungry
Conditioned stimulus—> conditioned response
Generalization
Essentially treating two similar stimuli as the same
Big bell—>hungry
Small bell—> hungry
We generalize the two stimuli as the same
Discrimination
Telling the difference between two stimuli.
Extinction
Cutting the ties of classical conditioning because it hasn’t happened in awhile.
Bell—>dog doesn’t get hungry and more
Operant conditioning
Behavior—consequence–>
Reinforcement: positive (add gas), negative (take away seatbelt sound)
Punishment: positive (ticket), negative (take license)
Shaping
Successively, gradually, reinforce behaviors that lead to the target behavior. LEARNING ONE STEP AT A TIME W + reinforcement
“I want to LEARN to do a headstand”
Show up to class👍
Hand on mat 👍
Firearms on may 👍
Lift legs 👍
Fixed and interval
Fixed ratio (ration, amount)
Fixed interval (time)
Fixed ratio
Reinforcement is contingent on a set number, thing
Fixed interval
Every 2 weeks–> paycheck
Variable ratio
Slot Machine
Reinforcement is randomly set
Variable interval
Reinforcement depends on Radom time
Innate behavior (instincts
Simple behaviors: reflexes, taxis (bugs and lights), kinesis (random movement)
Complex behaviors: fixed action patterns, circadian rhythm
Learned behaviors
Habituation (decrease to response), classical conditioning, operant conditioning, insight learning
Non-associative learning (doesnt involve rewards or punishments)
Habituation- after awhile you desensitize to stimulus
Sensitization- you feel more and more sensation with each stimulus (opposite of habituation)
Aversive control
Someone is motivated by an unpleasant thing happening
Escape learning: perform behavior to terminate unpleasant behavior (get out of fire)
Avoidance learning: avoid something before it happens (listen to the fire alarm)
