  • ignored mental states and emphasized conditioning more
28
Q

Watson: Little Albert

A
  • fear could be conditioned
29
Q

Watson: classical conditioning

A
  • form associations to new stimuli in the environment via predictive value
    UCS - unconditioned stimuli
    UCR - unconditioned response
    CS - conditioned stimulus
    CR - conditioned response
30
Q

Skinner overview

A
  • behavior under environmental control
  • repeat behaviors that lead to favorable outcomes
  • suppress those that result in unfavorable outcomes
31
Q

Skinner A →B →C

A

antecedent - situation that individual is in
behavior - what does the individual do
consequence - what are the responses to behavior → influence of consequence on future behavior

32
Q

skinner: reinforcement definition

A

anything that increases the probability of an individual repeating a behavior

33
Q

skinner: positive reinforcement

A

if individual’s behavior is followed by something added to the environment as a consequence (not evaluative, mathematical)
ex. sticker received after sharing a toy

34
Q

skinner: negative reinforcement

A

if individual’s behavior is followed by the removal of something from the environment as a consequence
ex. Little Timmy spontaneously offers to help his mom make dinner and set table and she says he doesn’t have to empty the dishwasher later

35
Q

skinner: punishment definition

A

anything that decreases the probability of an individual repeating a behavior

36
Q

skinner: positive punishment

A

consequence is the addition of something in a situation that makes the behavior less likely in the future
ex. spanking after doing something wrong

37
Q

skinner: negative punishment

A

behavior is followed by the removal of something from the environment
ex. timeouts or taking away desert

38
Q

skinner: punishment vs reinforcement

A

punishment doesn’t work as well as reinforcement because they already have this behavior and its easier to shape a new behavior

39
Q

skinner: effective punishment and challenges

A

effective: swift, consistent, and appropriately aversive
challenges: physical punishments may be imitated, may fear the person who punishes

40
Q

skinner: shaping

A

reinforcement of successive approximations to a target behavior

41
Q

skinner: chaining

A

associating already established behaviors with each other

42
Q

skinner: classical and operant conditioning

A
  • Stimulus generalization - behavior occurs in similar other situations than where it originally occurred
  • Stimulus discrimination - learn which situations lead to particular consequences/outcomes
43
Q

skinner: attention

A

a powerful reinforcer - behavior-management strategy of “time-out” focuses on the withdrawal of attention

44
Q

skinner: extinguishing behavior

A
  • sometimes rewarded and sometimes not
  • variable ratio and variable interval reinforcement schedules
45
Q

skinner: behavior modification therapy

A

useful for changing undesirable behaviors

46
Q

Albert Bandura over view

A

learning is inherently social
role of observation/imitation
role of cognition in social situations
- attending to other behaviors, encoding what is observe, remembers info event and retrieving info/behavior

47
Q

Albert Bandura: Bobo Doll studies

A
  • shows the power of observational learning
  • children watch a video of a model punching the doll (performing unusually aggressive actions)
  • quickly learn behavior
  • add other novel aggressive behaviors
48
Q

Albert Bandura: imitating behavior

A
  • depends on the conseuqneces for the model - if the model is positively reinforced
  • depends on the characteristics of the model - relation to the observer
49
Q

Albert Bandura: social cognition

A

active role of children in their own development
- self-efficacy: situation-specific confidence in your ability to complete some action

50
Q

Albert Bandura: reciprocal determenisim

A

multilevel system influence on child development
