learning theory

Question 1

classic conditioning

Answer 1

repondent conditioning
2 stimuli occur together and become associated
the food with the bell
response: salivation
the learner is passive. does not do anything, cannot help their reaction.
Pavlov
this is how phobias initially develop
extinction is unpairing the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus, so the response no longer appears

Question 2

operant conditioning

Answer 2

skinner
instrumental conditioning
the learner operates, is instrumental to the learning
the learner is active, does something
eg: food after lever
related to reward

Question 3

learned helplessness is what type of conditioning?

Answer 9

classical. the trapped monkey is passive. it learns that it can do nothing even if shocked.
shock and trapping are associated, does not move even when free.

Question 10

Answer 10

1st has paired relaxation

Note, 1st is used for phobias and OCD
