Study Notes
Classical Conditioning
- Developed by Ivan Pavlov in 1927, a Soviet neurologist.
- Describes learning through association between stimuli.
- Associations formed can be either positive (pleasant) or negative (unpleasant).
- Seen in daily life; examples include aversions to certain foods or preferences for specific music.
Operant Conditioning
- Created by B.F. Skinner in 1953, a Harvard psychologist.
- Involves learning through the consequences of a person's actions.
- Consequences can be positive (rewards) or negative (punishments).
- Applications include academic contexts, like test preparation leading to success, and superstitions, where specific rituals are believed to influence outcomes (e.g. lucky shirts).
Social Learning Theory
- Established by Albert Bandura in 1977, a Stanford psychologist.
- Emphasizes learning through observation, modeling behavior, and imitation.
- Acquired behaviors can manifest positively or negatively.
- Seen in classroom dynamics; for instance, a student may raise their hand to answer because they observed others receiving praise or may refrain due to prior negative feedback.
