Classical Conditioning Flashcards
Relatively permanent change in behavior from experience
Learning
Type of learning pared to stimuli
Classical Conditioning
Person place thing we respond to
Stimulus
How we act/behave
Response
Automatic person, place or thing
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
Automatic act/behave
Unconditioned Response (UCR)
Trained person, place or thing
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Trained act/behave
Conditioned Response (CR)
Process of pairing two stimuli, repetition and intensity
Acquisition
Learned response goes away
Extinction
After extinction, learned response returns
Spontaneous Recovery
Same response to similar stimuli
Generalization
Different responses to different stimuli
Discrimination
Russian scientist who trained dogs to salivate to the sound of a bell
Ivan Pavlov
Tested to see if they could make a baby become scared of a rat feared rats (generalized), little albert test
John Watson and Rosalie Rayner
Sometimes CC is conscious
Robert Rescorla and Allan Wagner
Taste aversion- avoid certain foods
John Garcia and Robert Koelling
The frequency of behaviors depends on the consequence that follows
Use rewards/consequences for behavior
Operant Conditioning
Behaviors with favorable consequences will occur more often
Reward=more behavior Consequence=less behavior
Law of Effect-Edward Thorndike
Developing the fundamental principles and techniques of operant conditioning
Trained pigeons using food
B.F. Skinner
Consequence that increases the likelihood of the behavior
Increase behavior
Reinforcement
Behavior is followed by a desirable event
Add something they like to increase behavior
If you make your bed you’ll get candy
Positive Reinforcement
Increases the likelihood of a behavior by removing an undesirable event
Removing something they don’t like to increase their behavior
Make your bed and you don’t have to do laundry
Negative Reinforcement
Naturally rewarding
What we use to reward/punish- Automatic reward food, water, sleep, love
Primary Reinforcement
