- Bobo Doll Study
Albert Bandura
What is learning, according to psychology?
Relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience
What is the most important element in learning?
Experience
Most learning occurs through ________________.
Conditioning
What kind of conditioning is this?
- Association between 2 stimuli
- Involuntary learning
- Stimuli can appear randomly
Classical conditoning
What kind of conditioning are these examples of?
- Bell dismissing you at the end of the day
- Dog salivating at the sound sound of a bell
Classical conditoning
Who is this person?
- Responsible for classical conditioning
Ivan Pavlov
What component of classical conditioning is this?
- Something that automatically triggers a natural response.
- In Pavlov’s experiment, it was the food
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
What component of classical conditioning is this?
- A naturally occurring event
- In Pavlov’s experiment, it was the dog drooling at the food
Unconditioned Response (UR)
What component of classical conditioning is this?
- Originally a neutral stimulus that is associated w/ the natural stimulus
- In Pavlov’s experiment, it was the bell.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
What component of classical conditioning is this?
- The natural response that is elicited by the CS
- In Pavlov’s experiment, it was the dog salivating at the bell.
Conditioned Response (CR)
The Conditioned Stimulus must be presented _____ second(s) before the before the US.
1/2
What principle of classical conditioning is this?
- The weakening and eventually disappearance of the conditioned response.
Extinction
What principle of classical conditioning is this?
- Conditioned response randomly reappears after a period of extinction
Spontaneous recovery
What principle of classical conditioning is this?
- Stimuli similar to the CS elicits the same response
Generalization
How can generalization be stopped?
More experience
What principle of classical conditioning is this?
- Ability to distinguish between similar stimuli
Discrimination
What principle of classical conditioning is this?
- Conditioned response is paired with conditioned stimulus, learning occurs
Acquisition
