Study Notes
Learning, Perception, and Attribution
- Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge due to experience.
- Behavioral change starts with the acceptance of new knowledge in the mind.
Perception
- Perception is the process by which people select, organize, interpret, retrieve, and respond to information from their environment.
- The perceiver's characteristics greatly influence their perception.
- The target refers to the object or situation being perceived, and its characteristics have a significant impact on perception.
- The situation refers to the context in which perception takes place, and its characteristics influence perception.
Theories of Learning
Classical Conditioning
- Discovered by Ivan Pavlov, classical conditioning is a type of unconscious or automatic learning.
- It involves creating a conditioned response through associations between an unconditioned stimulus and a neutral stimulus.
- Placing a neutral stimulus before a naturally occurring reflex triggers classical conditioning.
Operant Conditioning
- Operant conditioning is a type of learning where people learn to repeat behaviors that bring them pleasurable outcomes and avoid behaviors that lead to uncomfortable outcomes.
Social Learning
- Social learning is the process of observing the behavior of others, recognizing its consequence, and altering behavior as a result.
Attribution
- Attribution is the process by which people ascribe causes to the behavior they perceive.
- Attribution theory is useful for understanding human behavior.
- Self-serving bias is an attribution error where people attribute their achievements to their good inner qualities and their failures to adverse environmental factors.
- Distinctiveness refers to the consistency of a person's behavior across different situations.
- Consensus refers to the likelihood that all those facing the same situation will have similar responses.
- Consistency refers to the measure of whether an individual responds the same way across time.
