Behaviour learned through conditioning (RELATIONSHIPS)

A
  • Reinforcement models of attraction
  • more likely= form relationships with ppl who reinforce us
  • Byrne developed reinforcement Affect model
  • we like animals/ppl who are there when we are reinforced
  • Seek relationships with rewarding stimuli

N(4)

A

Procedure of therapy to re-establish normal behaviour again
- Gradually+systematically breaks down down faulty association
- Replace with more functional response
- ^counter conditioning
- Client progresses through desensitisation hierarchy
- SD based on conditioning
- psychologist from behaviourist= consider appropriate

17
Q

Procedure session 1

A
  • Returned to lab
  • presented with white rat
  • Albert reached
  • Bar struck behind head
18
Q

Procedure session 2

A
  • Shown rat (no sound)
  • After exposed 5 times with ‘joint stimulation’
19
Q

Procedure session 3

A
  • Testing generalisation
  • presented with rat, wooden blocks, rabbit, dog, seal fur coat
20
Q

Procedure session 4

A
  • New environment
  • Large well lit lecture room
  • 4 people
  • Placed on table in centre
21
Q

Procedure session 5

A
  • Last time
  • Presented with santa mask, fur coat, rabbit, dog, blocks
22
Q

Findings session 1

A
  • Bar struck= Albert jumped & fell forward, burying head, no cry
  • Second time struck= Fell forward whimpering
23
Q

Findings session 2

A
  • Stared at rat, did not reach
    -Rat brought closer, reached but withdrew hand when rat started to nuzzle hand
  • Blocks played with happily
  • Cautious response just for rat
  • After further joint stimulation, Albert= distressed, trying to crawl away
24
Q

Findings session 3

A
  • Blocks fine
  • Rat fear
  • rabbit as extreme as rat
  • played with cotton wool in package, not touching cotton at first
  • Watson hair= no fear response
25
Q

Findings session 4

A
  • Responses less extreme
  • more joint stimulation= rat fear stronger
  • rat fear different to playing with blocks
  • furry objects= distress/whimper
26
Q

Findings session 5

A
  • blocks remained happy
  • furry objects= fear
  • not so extreme over time but would avoid, at times cry
27
Q

This study demonstrates

A

just how easy it is to create fear response

28
Q

Conclusion to wayne and rayner

A
  • First week= two joint stimulation needed to create sufficient conditioned emotional response, seven to create complete fear reaction
  • Study showed how easy fears generalise
  • Persistence of early conditioned responses will be found in people ‘constitutionally inferior’
29
Q

Controlled study

A
  • Environment= able to control for extraneous variables
  • a baseline condition= ‘pre-manipulation’ bhvr judged to establish if fearful child before study
  • blocks showed fear exclusively for furry
  • films used so others could confirm
  • STRENGTH
30
Q

The sample (evaluation of methodology & procedures)

A
  • intended repeat with more
  • personal reasons, watson and rayner asked to leave uni
  • emotional stable child
  • if research continued, would fear intensify?
  • No comparisons,
    WEAKNESS
31
Q

Could phobias have a biological cause?

A
  • Learning cannot account for all phobias
  • Phobias could be result of biological preparedness
  • Seligman
  • ANCIENT FEARS
  • WEAKNESS
32
Q

Ethical issues (W&R)

A

Creating a fear
More psychological harm
Lasting effects

33
Q

Creating a fear

A
  • Albert experiencing anxiety as result of experiment
  • Delayed tests for week
  • Question should they have continued
  • Psychologists avoid creating situation where more stress in study than everyday life
  • Researchers justified arguing Albert would’ve exposed to such stressors IRL
    + Hospital environment protected him
34
Q

More psychological harm

A
  • Induced fear in young child
  • Guilty of intensifying stres
  • Removed thumb from mouth
35
Q

Lasting effects

A
  • Intention to remove learner conditioned behaviour
  • Sudden removal from hospital= not achieved
  • Continue fear
  • Researchers had duty unconditioning
36
Q

Social implications

A

Vunerable children
In education
Naughty step

37
Q

Vulnerable children

A
  • Autism benefit from conditioning techniques
  • Helping integrate into society
  • Can participate in societty fully
  • Robinson token economies improved performance reading+ vocabulary related tasks in children with hyperactivity issues
  • Howveer only treats symptoms
  • Undesirable behaviour could return when reinforcement stops
38
Q

In education

A
  • Montessori education
  • Conditioning of bhvr interfere with child internal drive to learn
  • Levitt
    -Chicago school offered money
  • Money=If improved=Modest gains in performance
  • School leavers-=better educated
  • Gneezy
  • Money used elsewhere
39
Q

Naughty step

A
  • Shouting= positively inforcing
  • Morris claim long term emotional effects
  • Children can’t reflect on emotions or behaviour and verbalise feelings once on naughty step
