1.3.1 Conditioning Assumption (Be) Flashcards
What is conditioning?
Learning
What are the two types of conditioning?
Classical conditioning
Operant conditioning
In short, what is classical conditioning?
Learning through association
In short what is operant conditioning?
Learning through reinforcement
What does classical conditioning refer to?
The conditioning of reflexes
What are reflexes? (CC)
Involuntary responses to stimuli
In classical conditioning how are new behaviours acquired?
By learning to associate new stimuli with automatic reflexes
When stimuli and reflexes are repeatedly paired what do we learn to do? (CC)
Associate them and a learned response is produced
When will the learned response occur after classical conditioning?
Automatically when exposed to stimuli
Who first explained classical conditioning? When?
Pavlov
1902
In the 1890s what did Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov look at? (CC)
Salivation in dogs in response to being fed
What did Pavlov initially notice? (CC)
His dogs began to salivate when he entered the room even when he wasn’t bringing food
What was the unconditioned stimulus UCS? (CC)
Food
What unconditioned response (UCR) occurred when the dog was presented with the UCS (food)?
Salivation - reflex
What does this assumption say?
Behaviour is learned through conditioning
What was the neutral stimulus? (NS)
The bell
What occurred before classical conditioning when the bell rang? (CC)
No response - no salivation
