    Study Notes

    Learning: Basic Concepts, Classical and Operant Conditioning, Biological Constraints, and Observational Learning

    • Learning is the process of acquiring new information or behaviors through experience.
    • Association is the primary mechanism of learning, which can occur through classical conditioning (automatic response) or operant conditioning (consequence-based learning).
    • Classical conditioning was pioneered by Pavlov and involves linking a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.
    • Acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination are key concepts in classical conditioning.
    • Pavlov’s principles have been applied in areas such as addiction treatment and therapy, and Watson used classical conditioning to demonstrate how specific fears might be conditioned.
    • Operant conditioning involves behavior that operates on the environment to produce rewards or punishments, and it was expanded upon by Skinner.
    • Reinforcement (positive and negative) and punishment are used in operant conditioning to increase or decrease the frequency of a behavior.
    • Four major drawbacks of physical punishment include suppression rather than forgetting, discrimination, fear, and increased aggression.
    • Skinner’s legacy includes the use of operant conditioning in education, sports, work, and parenting.
    • Biopsychosocial influences on learning include previous experiences, genetic predispositions, and culturally-learned preferences.
    • Instinctive drift and biological constraints limit the capacity for operant conditioning.
    • Observational learning involves learning without direct experience by watching and imitating others, and it can have prosocial or antisocial effects. The Bobo doll experiment and mirror neurons are examples of observational learning.
