Lesson 9: Principles Of Learning And Behaviour Modification.

Question 1

Theme: Behavourist view

Answer 1

All behaviour is learnt through systems of association.

Systems of reinforcement or punishment.

Question 2

3 types of learning: classical conditioning, operant conditioning and cognitive learning.

Answer 2

Behaviours are a result of experience. Some are reflexive aka instinctual.
All behaviour is ADAPTIVE.

Adaptive behaviours allow us to adapt to our environment.

Question 3

Classical conditioning

Answer 3

Before: before you learn any behaviours so before you are conditioned (US AND UR)

During: period where the behaviour training takes place. (NS)

After: period that exists once the behaviour training is complete.
(CR AND CS)

Question 4

Conditioning PRINCIPLES

Answer 4

Unconditioned stimulus (US)
Unconditioned response (UR)
Neutral stimulus (NS)
Conditioned stimulus (CS)
Conditioned response (CR)

Question 5

Reinforcement: Increase or Encourage behaviour

Answer 5

Positive reinforcement- add something - increases likelihood of behaviour being repeated.

Negative- take something away.

Question 6

Punishment: decrease or discourage behaviour

Answer 6

Decreases likelihood of behaviour being repeated.

Positive add something
Negative Take something away

Question 7

Classical Conditioning extra

Answer 7

Before conditioning
US = UR
Treat = yummy
NS = Huh? What do you want Hooman.

During:
NS+US =UR
Command(sit) + treat = action cause it’s good

After:
CS=CR
Instruction given: sit = dog sits on command.
