Question 1

primary theory/research: Watson

Answer 1

• behaviorism
• trained little Albert to to fear white, soft things (white rats w/ loud noise)
• Associative learning

Question 2

primary theory/research:Skinner

Answer 2

• Elaborated on Law of Effect (Thorndike)
• Operant (or Instrumental) conditioning
• A behavior is instrumental in producing a reinforcement, or avoiding a punishment

Question 3

primary theory/research: Thorndike

Answer 3

• Law of Effect
• responses associated w/ satisfaction MORE likely to do again (reoccur)
• responses associated w/ discomfort LESS likely to do again (not reoccur)

Question 4

primary theory/research:Pavlov

Answer 4

(Russian Physiologist)
Both occur naturally
-UCS- food is a unconditioned stimulus
-UCR- salivating is an unconditioned response
Both are conditioned
CS- bell is conditioned stimulus, as food
CR- salivation to the bell is a conditioned response

Question 5

primary theory/research:Bandura

Answer 5

Social Learning

• Modeling and imitation
• Antisocial- inappropriate behaviors (bby saying bad words)
• pro social- appropriate behaviors (saying please and thank you)
  ex. Bobo doll experiment

Question 6

Classical conditioning-

Answer 6

A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events(Ivan Pavlo)

Question 7

Define Classical conditioning terms, and be able to distinguish each in the dog experiment and other examples. Who created this experiment?

Answer 7

-(UCS) Unconditioned Stimuli- Food elicits response naturally
-(UCR) Unconditioned Response-Salivation response occurs naturally
-(CS) Conditioned Stimuli- Trained to hear the bell & think food
-(CR) Conditioned Response- produced salivation
*stimulus- can be changed, reaction- stays the same
(created by Pavlo)

Question 8

What are some real life applications of classical conditioning?

Answer 8

hearing loud thunder, and jumping
UCS- loud noise of thunder
UCR- jumping in response to loud noise
CS- lightning with loud noise
CR- jumping to lightning bolt

Question 9

Main principle of Thorndike’s law of effect.

Answer 9

-a response is more likely to reoccur when associated w/ satisfaction, & is less likely to occur when associated with discomfort

Question 10

Box - operant chamber - what could it do?)

Answer 10

Skinner invented the box

• helped develop his theory
• A behavior is instrumental in producing a reinforcement, or avoiding a punishment
