Pavlov aim
Investigate if unconditioned response is linked neutral stimulus causing learning of a conditioned response
Pavlov procedure
Placed dog in a box > couldn’t hear or smell anything > control extraneous variables
Measure Dv> tube attached to dog mouth measure the saliva produced >NS ( bell) was paired with the UCS(food) [ 20×] > Causing UCR ( saliva ) > tried without food > 9seconds after bell> 11 saliva drops> showing UCS paired w NS = Production of saliva ( CR)
How was pavlov controlled
The dog was put in a box to prevent smell or sounds from getting in - extraneous variables
What was the dv of pavlov study
Attached a tube to the dogs mouth to measure the amount of saliva produced ( ucr /cr)
How was the Cs made and how did it affect the Cr
Paired Bell( Ns) with Food( ucs) 20× 9seconds after 11 drops of saliva
How many time was NS paired with UCS
How many seconds did it take for CR
How many drops of saliva ( with or without UCS
20×
9 seconds
11 saliva drops without Ucs
Watson and rayner aim
Investigate if fear could be acquired by classical conditioning
Who was the participant for Watson and rayner
9 month old baby Albert
Session 1 of Watson and rayner
l
Albert - measure his initial emotional response
Presented white rat dog and cotton wool(ns)
No fear response
Exposed to loud noise (ucs) Albert’s response was crying (UCR)
7 trial= fear and avoid rat
Session 2 of w and rayner
Week later Albert was exposed to the rat paired with loud noise 5x
Tested w wooden block= no fear
Showing he wasn’t getting more general fear but just loud noise And rat
Session 3 of w and rayner
Albert was shown a range of objects = rabbits dog santa mask had resemblance to white dog
Session 4 of w and rayner
Albert was moved to different room
Ensure rat= afraid
Room = no fear
Albert was afraid of rat in all rooms
Session 5 of w and rayner
Albert tested a month later
He was still afraid of rat a month later by crying including other objects like dog
Conclusion of w and rayner
Easy to condition an emotional response to a neutral stimulus
Recall questions
How old was Albert?
Give 3 objects he was tested with?
What was the loud noise?
How much time pasted for session 2 to take place ?
How many times what’s he exposed to rat paid with Loud noise
What was the control he was tested with ?
How much time pasted for session 5 to take place?
How many trials did it take for Albert to be conditioned to fear rat?
1)9 months
2) Rabbit dog santa mask
3) hammer hitting bar
4) a week
5) 5x
6) wooden block and room change
7) month
8) 7 trials
Session 1 2 3 4 5 summary
1 = fear response in baby at start
2 = test with wooden box to see
3= test with similar objects
4= test with room change
5= fear response in baby at the end
Bandura et al study 1961- aim
Investigate:
Aggression acquired by observed behaviour
Boys more prone to acquiring aggressive behaviour
What is the experiment design for bandura
Independent groups design
Who were the participants and where did they come from
Bandura
36 boys / 36 girls Stafford University nursery
How many experimental groups were they and wht were they
3
24 observing aggressive role model
24 observing non aggressive role model
24 observing no model
Procedure of bandura 61
Observation
Aggressive role model: Children saw adult beat the bobo doll using a mallot “pow”
Non Aggressive: Children saw him play with toy
How did the children behave after observation of model qnd how did we find this
Reproduction
Children play with toys in a room
Children taken to another room and told they couldn’t play with toy= triggers Children makes them angry
Children placed in another with a range of toys ( bobodoll) and were covertly observed
Findings of bandura 61
Boys more aggressive than girls
The most aggressive group
M.child w M. Model aggressive group
Conclusion of bandura 61
They generalise aggressive acts toward everything as they were taught behaviour can be learnt via imitation
