Intro. To Psych Modules 20-23

Front 1

Learning

Back 1

Change in behavior due to experience.

Front 2

Stimulus-Stimulus Learning

Back 2

Classical conditioning.

Front 3

Response-Consequence Learning

Back 3

Operant conditioning.

Front 4

Classical Conditioning

Back 4

Organisms come to associate stimuli.
Neutral stimulus that signals an US begins to produce response that anticipates and prepares for US.
Pavlovian/Respondent conditioning.

Front 5

Classical Conditioning: Pavlov

Back 5

Founded four principles of learning: acquisition, extinction, generalization, discrimination.
Did dog experiment.
Developed US, UR, CS, CR.

Front 6

Classical Conditioning: Conditioned and Unconditioned Response/Stimulus

Back 6

US-naturally/automatically triggers response.

UR-unlearned, naturally occuring response to US.

CR-learned response to previously neutral (but now conditioned) CS.

CS-originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association w/US, comes to trigger CR.

Front 7

Classical Conditioning: Dog Experiment

Back 7

Pavlov presented neutral stimulus (tone) just before US (food in mouth).
Neutral stimulus then to CS, = CR.

Front 8

Acquisition

Back 8

Initial stage in classical conditioning.
Associating neutral stimulus w/CS so that neutral stimulus comes to elicit CR.
Operant conditioning = strengthening of reinforced response.

Front 9

Extinction

Back 9

Diminishing of CR.
When US does not follow CS.
Operant conditioning = when response = no longer reinforced.
Spontaneous Recovery happens sometimes.

Front 10

Generalization

Back 10

Tendency, once response has been conditioned, for stimuli to CS to elicit similar responses.

Front 11

Discrimination

Back 11

Learned ability to distinguish b/w CS and stimuli that don't signal an US.

Front 12

Cognitive and Biological limitations of Classical Conditioning

Back 12

Cogntivie = not based only on CS-US association but also on thought process.

Biological = Learning enables animals to adapt to their environments; animals generally predisposed to associate CS with US that follows predictably and immediately: causes often immediately precede events.

Front 13

John Watson

Back 13

Albert study = generalization.
