learning approach Flashcards
two main assumptions in learning approach
experineces and intreaction with the environment shape our behaviour and these changes are directly observable
we learn thru the processes of operenat conditionning, classical conditioning and social learning, this can be understoof using the stimulus-response model
deifne leanirng
the relatively permentant changes in behaviour caused by expericnes in the environemtnt as oppsed to chnages rhat reuslt from biological maturation
wt is classical conditiong and give an ex
A learning process where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflex response through repeated pairings.. when two sitmuli become associated with one another.

wt is operant conditiong and give an ex
A form of learning where behavior is shaped by consequences. Learning through reinforcement and punishment.
fagen et al thingie
wt is social learning and give an ex
it states that ppl observe and imitate the behaviour of others specialy ones they identify or role model.

Retention

Motivation
bandura et al
wt r the two theories being investigated in bandura
social learning theory
aggresion
wt were the two aims of bandura
to investigate whether children imitate aggresion of a model in the absense of the model
to investigate whether children r more liekly to imitrate the behaviour of a same sex model
describe rm in bandura
experimnet and cover observeration
descibe the psychology being investigate in fagen
operant cnditioning
primary and seocndary reinforcement
describe aim in fagen
investigate whether seocndary postive reinforcemtn cud be used to train the elephants to voluntaryily complete a trunk wash, a behavipur that allows the elephants to be tested a disease called TB
describe rm in fagen
controlled observation
used a behvsioural checklist
descirbe sample in fagen
5 females, 4 infats age 5-7yrs and 1 adult, 50yrs
why was that specific sample chosen in fagen
cuz they were gentle and none o fthem were prengnatn
wt were the measureved vriables in procudre in fagen
mins of training
no f cues\
seccess rate
d escribe3 ways the elephtants were trained in fagen
capturing - elepahts were encourgaed to perform natural behaviours that was part of their behaviour using reqards
luring
shaping
secondary reinfiroceres - they were tuahgt ot associate the whitlsr to the arrival of a chopped banana
describe the reults in fagen
elephant 5 was not tested on the full training as she fialed to learn
elepahtns 2 and 4 also didnt learn
when elephant 5 triaing was added, mean increases by 378min
sent from 39% to 89.3%
describe conclusions in fagen
secondary postive reinfocemtn is effectie for training juveline, trianed elephants to particoate in trnk wash voluterily
describe the psychology being ivestifates in saavedra and silverman
phobias
classical conditionng
evaluative leaning
operant conditiong (mothers prase or rewards)
wt r the trwo aims in saaverdra
highglitel the orle of evalutive learning and disguist in the develpiment of treatment of childrens phobias
test the efficency of imagery exposure as part on a exposure based cognitive behavioural treatment for a specific phobia of buttons
describe the rm in saavedra
strucuted interview
describe the smaple in saavedra
a 9 yr boy from florida. brought by his mom to the child anxitery and phobia programe in florida international uni in miami
describe conclusion in saavedra
evaluative leanring is a useful way on understanding the role of disguist in childhood specific phobias, while exposure therapry may be helpful in treain fear based phobias,
