Theories in Behaviorist- Associationist
- Connectionism
- Operant Conditioning
- Classical Conditioning
- Contiguous Conditioning
- Human Associative Learning
- Systematic Behavior Theory
- Stimulus Sampling Theory
Founder of Connectionism
Founder of Learning Theory
Edward Lee Thorndike
Organism forms associative bonding or connection between Stimuli and Response
Connectionism
What are the aspects of Human Activity according to Connectionism
Stimulating Situation
Response
Connection
4 principles of Connectionism
- Law of Belongingness
- Law of Effect
- Law of Exercise
- Law of Readiness
“Connections that are readily made because they seem
to be together”
- Law of Belongingness
“Stimuli-Response-Stimuli or Stimuli-Response-Antecedent Response”
- Law of Effect:
“Law of Use vs Law of Disuse”
- Law of Exercise
The learner must be matured to welcome learning
- Law of Readiness
Founder of Operant Conditioning
Burrhus Frederick Skinner
One’s behavior is shape
through reinforcement
and punishment
OPERANT CONDITIONING
Responses produce by the
organism that acts on
the environment
OPERANT CONDITIONING
Principles of Operant Conditioning
- Reinforcement
- Punishment
- Shaping
- Extinction
- Generalization
- Discrimination
“ refers to any conditioning that strengthens a particular action.”
– Positive
– Negative
REINFORCEMENT
“refers to any conditioning that weakens a particular action”
– Positive
– Negative
PUNISHMENT
- used to teach animals or behaviors that they have never
performed before w/rewards
SHAPING
refers to diminishing response when it is not ff by a reward.
EXTINCTION
- refers to an act of responding to a new stimulus in a similar
way as to a conditioned stimulus.
GENERALIZATION
- is the desired effect that the learner emit a specific response at a certain time on certain conditions.
DISCRIMINATION
Founder of Principles of Conditioned Response or Classical Conditioning
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov
“A Neutral Stimulus, when
repeatedly paired with a
stimulus that normally
elicit a response, comes to
elicit a similar or identical
response
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
PRINCIPLES OF CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
- Acquisition
- Extinction
- Spontaneous Recovery
- Generalization
- Discrimination
The speed of conditioning may occur quickly if the CS is followed by a presentation of the UCS.
ACQUISITION
Represents reduction or decreasing of a behavioral
response d/t absence of reinforcement.
EXTINCTION**
