    Myers' PSYCHOLOGY

    Chapter 8

    Learning

    Learning

    *Learning

    * relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience

    Association

    * We learn by association

    * Our minds naturally connect events that occur in sequence

    * Aristotle 2000 years ago

    * John Locke and David Hume 200 years ago

    * Associative Learning

    * learning that two events occur together

    * two stimuli

    * a response and its consequences

    Association

    * Learning to associate two events

    Classical or Pavlovian Conditioning

    * We learn to associate two stimuli

    Operant Conditioning

    * We learn to associate a response and its consequence

    Classical Conditioning

    * Ivan Pavlov

    * 1849-1936

    * Russian physician/ neurophysiologist

    * Nobel Prize in 1904

    * studied digestive secretions

    Pavlov's Classic Experiment

    Classical Conditioning

    * Pavlov's device for recording salivation

    Classical Conditioning

    * Classical Conditioning

    * organism comes to associate two stimuli

    * a neutral stimulus that signals an unconditioned stimulus begins to produce a response that anticipates and prepares for the unconditioned stimulus

    Behaviorism

    * John B. Watson

    * viewed psychology as objective science

    * generally agreed-upon consensus today

    * recommended study of behavior without reference to unobservable mental processes

    * not universally accepted by all schools of thought today

    Classical Conditioning

    * Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)

    * stimulus that unconditionally--automatically and naturally--triggers a response

    * Unconditioned Response (UCR)

    * unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus

    * salivation when food is in the mouth

    Classical Conditioning

    * Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

    * originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response

    * Conditioned Response (CR)

    * learned response to a previously neutral conditioned stimulus

    Classical Conditioning

    * Acquisition

    * the initial stage in classical conditioning

    * the phase associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus comes to elicit a conditioned response

    * in operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response

    Classical Conditioning

    Classical Conditioning

    * Extinction

    * diminishing of a CR

    * in classical conditioning, when a UCS does not follow a CS

    * in operant conditioning, when a response is no longer reinforced

    Classical Conditioning

    * Spontaneous Recovery

    * reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished CR

    * Generalization

    * tendency for stimuli similar to CS to elicit similar responses

    Classical Conditioning

    * Discrimination

    * in classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a CS and other stimuli that do not signal a UCS

    Generalization

    Nausea Conditioning in Cancer Patients

    Operant Conditioning

    * Operant Conditioning

    * type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by reinforcement or diminished if followed by punishment

    * Law of Effect

    * Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely

    Operant Conditioning

    * Operant Behavior

    * operates (acts) on environment

    * produces consequences

    * Respondent Behavior

    * occurs as an automatic response to stimulus

    * behavior learned through classical conditioning

    Operant Conditioning

    * B.F. Skinner (1904-1990)

    * elaborated Thorndike's Law of Effect

    * developed behavioral technology

    Operant Chamber

    * Skinner Box

    * chamber with a bar or key that an animal manipulates to obtain a food or water reinforcer

    * contains devices to record responses

    Operant Conditioning

    * Reinforcer

    * any event that strengthens the behavior it follows

    * Shaping

    * operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer approximations of a desired goal

    Operant Conditioning

    Principles of Reinforcement

    * Primary Reinforcer

    * innately reinforcing stimulus

    * i.e., satisfies a biological need

    * Conditioned Reinforcer

    * stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with primary reinforcer

    * secondary reinforcer

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    * Continuous Reinforcement

    * reinforcing the desired response each time it occurs

    * Partial (Intermitent) Reinforcement

    * reinforcing a response only part of the time

    * results in slower acquisition

    * greater resistance to extinction

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    * Fixed Ratio (FR)

    * reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses

    * faster you respond the more rewards you get

    * different ratios

    * very high rate of responding

    * like piecework pay

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    * Variable Ratio (VR)

    * reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses

    * average ratios

    * like gambling, fishing

    * very hard to extinguish because of unpredictability

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    * Fixed Interval (FI)

    * reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed

    * response occurs more frequently as the anticipated time for reward draws near

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    * Variable Interval (VI)

    * reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals

    * produces slow steady responding

    * like pop quiz

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    Punishment

    * Punishment

    * aversive event that decreases the behavior that it follows

    * powerful controller of unwanted behavior

    Punishment

    Cognition and Operant Conditioning

    * Cognitive Map

    * mental representation of the layout of one's environment

    * Example: after exploring a maze, rats act as if they have learned a cognitive map of it

    * Latent Learning

    * learning that occurs, but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it

    Latent Learning

    Cognition and Operant Conditioning

    * Overjustification Effect

    * the effect of promising a reward for doing what one already likes to do

    * the person may now see the reward, rather than intrinsic interest, as the motivation for performing the task

    Cognition and Operant Conditioning

    * Intrinsic Motivation

    * Desire to perform a behavior for its own sake and to be effective

    * Extrinsic Motivation

    * Desire to perform a behavior due to promised rewards or threats of punishments

    Operant vs Classical Conditioning

    Observational Learning

    * Observational Learning

    * learning by observing others

    * Modeling

    * process of observing and imitating a specific behavior

    * Prosocial Behavior

    * positive, constructive, helpful behavior

    * opposite of antisocial behavior

    Observational Learning

    * Mirror Neurons

    * frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing certain actions or when observing another doing so

    * may enable imitation, language learning, and empathy
