Study Notes
Classical Conditioning Overview
- A neutral stimulus initially causes no response but can lead to a conditioned response after training.
- A reflex is an unconditioned response that occurs automatically without prior learning.
Learning and Conditioning Responses
- Conditioned responses are acquired gradually over time.
- The strongest associations between conditioned and unconditioned stimuli are established when the conditioned stimulus is presented immediately before the unconditioned stimulus.
- Generalization allows a similar, second stimulus to elicit the same response that was conditioned with the first stimulus.
Extinction and Behavior
- Conditioned responses can become extinct when the conditioned stimulus no longer elicits the response.
- Various human behaviors, such as taste aversions, fears, and emotional responses, can be classically conditioned.
- Classical conditioning aids in predicting future events and helps children establish boundaries.
Types of Responses
- Unconditioned responses happen naturally without prior training.
- Conditional responses arise after conditioning takes place and are linked to stimuli that were previously neutral.
- A conditioned stimulus is a neutral event that acquires significance through conditioning.
Key Learning Concepts
- Classical conditioning involves learning that combines old responses with new stimuli.
- Discrimination enables individuals to respond differently to distinct stimuli, enhancing behavioral specificity.
- Generalization indicates a reaction to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus without additional training.
Reinforcement and Learning Types
- Primary reinforcers satisfy biological needs, while shaping utilizes reinforcement to create new responses from established behaviors.
- Variable ratio schedules deliver reinforcement after an unpredictable number of responses, while fixed interval schedules offer reinforcement based on a consistent time frame.
- Negative reinforcement occurs when the removal of an unpleasant stimulus increases the likelihood of a behavior's repetition.
- Aversive control describes a type of learning that stems from unpleasant consequences.
Schedules of Reinforcement
- Variable interval reinforcement occurs based on a random interval of time.
- A response chain involves a series of responses leading to a specific outcome, vital in conditioning.
- Avoidance conditioning is where an individual's actions prevent undesired experiences from occurring.
