learning behavior Flashcards
learning
relatively permanent change in behavior from experience
classical conditioning
type of learning, pair to stimuli for response
stimulus
person, place or thing that you react to
response
How we act/behave
Unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
Automatic person, place or thing (the food)
Unconditioned response (UCR)
automatic action/behavior (Salivate) - Start with first and should be the same as CR
Conditioned stimulus (CS)
trained person, place or thing (bell)
Conditioned response (CR)
Trained action/behavior (Salivate) - Start with first and should be same as UCR
acquisition
the process of classical condition (repetition and intensity)
Extinction
learned response diminishes
generalization
same response to similar stimuli
discrimination - classical conditioning
different responses to different stimuli
Ivan Pavlov
Trained dogs to droll with bell
John Watson and Rosalie Rayner
Little Albert experiment - fear of rats (generalization)
Robert Rescorla and Allan Wagner
sometimes classical conditioning is conscious
John Garcia and Robert Koelling
taste aversion (avoid certain foods)
operant conditioning
type of learning, using rewards and consequences
B.F. skinner
trained pigeons; tricks for food
reinforcement
increase behavior
Example - good grades
Positive reinforcement
Add something they like to increase behavior
Example - rewards like money, freetime, praise, etc.
negative reinforcement
Subtract something they don’t like to increase behavior
Example chores
“You don’t have to wash the dishes if you…”
Primary reinforcement
Automatic rewards
Example - food, sleep, love
Secondary reinforcement
learned reward
Example - Money
punishment
decrease behavior
