    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.

    Understanding Memory: Encoding, Storage, Retrieval, and Forgetting

    • Memory is the persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information.
    • There are different types of memory, including explicit and implicit memories, which involve conscious and unconscious processing, respectively.
    • The Atkinson-Shiffrin model proposes that memory involves three stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
    • Working memory is a newer understanding of short-term memory that emphasizes conscious, active processing of information.
    • Effortful processing strategies, such as chunking, mnemonics, and self-assessment, can improve memory retention.
    • The spacing effect, which involves distributing practice over time, and the testing effect, which involves retrieval practice, are effective ways to enhance memory.
    • Memory retrieval cues, such as priming, can serve as anchor points for pathways to memory.
    • Forgetting can occur due to encoding failure, storage decay, retrieval failure, interference, or motivated forgetting.
    • Interference can be proactive or retroactive, and motivated forgetting may occur to protect self-concept or reduce anxiety.
    • The hippocampus is a brain region involved in explicit memory formation and consolidation.
    • Verbal information processed at a deeper, semantic level is more likely to be retained in long-term memory.
    • Strategies to improve memory include rehearsing repeatedly, making the material meaningful, using retrieval cues and mnemonic devices, minimizing interference, sleeping more, and testing one's knowledge.
