    Study Notes

    Learning Psychology

    • Learning is the association of two stimuli to understand/predict an outcome.
    • Classical conditioning involves a neutral stimulus becoming associated with a significant one, leading to a conditioned response.
    • Generalization is responding to similar stimuli as if they were the same.
    • Experimental neurosis (or double bind) is confusion caused by contradictory stimuli.
    • Distinguishing a conditioned stimulus in a complex environment is key.
    • Primary signaling systems are universal signals, like traffic lights. Secondary signaling systems use additional cues, like a train's yellow line combined with a guard's whistle.
    • Claximing conditioned responses or entropy are progressive build-ups of negative or positive responses from repeated experiences.
    • Craving syndrome is dependence on objects or habits for security (like chocolate or social media), leading to withdrawal symptoms when absent.
    • Sensation seeking is engaging in high-risk or extreme activities to seek joy, often linked to adrenaline.
    • Conditioned reaction erasure is counter-conditioning to remove a learned response.
    • Conditioned reaction reappearance (relapse) can occur, even after erasing the reaction.
    • Attitudes are learned through experience, observation, and social influences. Attitudes are often resistant to change.
    • Flashback memories are detailed recollections of traumatic or notable events.
    • Impulse learning is adapting behaviors impulsively due to environmental or social pressure.
    • Meaning conditioning is associating events or objects with specific meanings (like the Eiffel Tower with France).

    Skinner: Active Conditioning

    • Reinforcement is rewarding desired behavior.
    • Reinforcements can be primary (praise), activation (reward), information (medal), or secondary (success).
    • Reinforcement schedules include fixed intervals (regular), varying intervals (uncertain, but guaranteed), constant ratios (performance-based), and varying proportions (efforts without guaranteed rewards).
    • Mixed positive reinforcement involves building complex behaviors progressively.
    • Negative reinforcement involves avoiding unpleasant stimuli.
    • Shaping is gradually creating behavior by reinforcing small steps forward.
    • Shaping can be used to create anticipatory behaviors, anxious reactions, and counter-offensive learning.
    • Learned helplessness is the inability to react.

    Watson: Observation and Modeling

    • Shaping new behaviors through observation and modeling is common.
    • Inhibition and releasing of behaviors is influenced by figures of authority.
    • Social facilitation and inhibition affect actions.
    • Self-efficacy and self-value are beliefs in one's ability to succeed.
    • Arranging environmental situations aids learning.
    • Emotional arousal influences behaviors.

    Bandurian

    • Low and high tolerance for frustration relates to reactions in adverse outcomes.
    • Fear and dependence are learned through observation.
    • Assertive training teaches respectful rights claiming.
    • Moral behavior is based on personal beliefs rather than external pressures.

    Cognitive Psychology

    • Perception filters external stimuli, selecting important information.
    • Memory is the retainment process of recalling info.
    • Sensory, short-term, and long-term memory differ.
    • Fundamental factors affect memory, including context, motivation, and mood.
    • Memories can be lost or disrupted.

    Memory

    • Memory processes involve encoding, storage, and retrieval.
    • Sensory, short-term, and long-term memory subtypes exist.
    • Memory can be affected by factors like context, motivation, and mood.
    • Memory loss, like amnesia, can occur due to various causes.

    Social Psychology

    • Social psychology involves how the social context impacts feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
    • Evolutionarily, both competition and cooperation influenced brain capacity.
    • Factors like conformity, persuasion, power, influence, obedience shape human behavior.
    • Early social psychology experiments explored group dynamics.

    Motivation

    • Motivation is the driving force behind actions.
    • Needs, desires, and the Yerkes-Dodson Law influence performance.
    • Different types of motivations exist (primary, secondary, and social).
    • Theories of motivation (e.g., Homeostatic, Cognitive, and Humanistic) consider motivational drives.

    Emotion

    • Emotions are psychophysiological reactions to stimuli.
    • Emotions are short-lasting with significant intensity.
    • Emotions play an adaptive role, guiding behavior and adaptation.
    • Appraisal theory examines how we interpret situations.
    • Emotional contagion occurs where positive emotions spread to others.

    Consumer Behavior

    • Consumer behavior is the study of individual and group selection, purchase, use, and disposal of products.
    • Persuasion and influence, techniques applied to consumer behaviors.
    • Consumer behavior depends on cognition (thought) and attitudes.
    • Techniques like persuasion and influence shape consumers.

    Personality

    • Personality encompasses individual self-perception and social roles.
    • Identity development involves conflict resolution and exploration.
    • Various theories of personality (e.g., Cattell's, Eysenck's, and Maslow's) provide models of personality.
    • Personality disorders represent patterns of behavior.
    • Emotions influence personality, but not vice-versa.
