TYPES OF LEARNING & CONDITIONING

Question 1

CLASSICAL CONDITIONING:

Answer 1

a form of learning which occurs through repeated association of two (or more) different stimuli, e.g. Pavlov’s dogs

Question 2

ELEMENTS OF CLASSICAL CONDITIONING:
NS, UCS, UCR, CS, CR (remember this order)

Answer 2

neutral stimulus, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response, unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response

Question 3

OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING:

Answer 3

the learning of information, skills, or behaviour through watching others (a model) either directly or indirectly.

Question 4

ELEMENTS OF OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING:
A.R.R.M.R

Answer 4

attention: actively focused
retention: mental representation
reproduction: physical + mental capabilities to replicate this behavior
motivation: desire to perform this behavior
reinforcement: intrinsic, extrinsic, or vicarious

Question 5

OPERANT CONDITIONING:

Answer 5

an active learning process where the consequences of the behaviour performed will determine the likelihood that it will be performed again in the future, e.g. B.F. Skinner’s rats

Question 6

WHAT IS INTRINSIC, EXTRINSIC AND VICARIOUS (UNDER OPERANT CONDITIONING)

Answer 6

intrinsic: Motivation from within; satisfaction from the activity itself.

extrinsic: Motivation from external factors; rewards or punishments that influence behavior.

vicarious: Learning through observing the experiences of others, leading to changes in one’s own behavior based on those observations.

Question 7

3 PHASE MODEL:

Answer 7

antecedent, behavior and consequence

Question 8

ANTECEDENT:

Answer 8

any stimulus that precedes a behaviour

Question 9

BEHAVIOUR:

Answer 9

voluntary response after the antecedent

Question 10

CONSEQUENCES:

Answer 10

outcome that immediately follows after a behaviour and affects the likelihood of its reoccurrence
