Study Notes
Classical Conditioning and Recovery
- "Acquisition" is misused; it should be replaced with "recovery," which refers to the return of an extinguished conditioned response.
Ivan Pavlov's Contributions
- Ivan Pavlov is recognized for developing classical conditioning principles, foundational to understanding associative learning.
Little Albert Experiment
- John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner illustrated that emotions can be conditioned responses through their experiments with Little Albert, a baby who developed fear of a white rat.
Reinforcement Schedules
- A variable interval reinforcement schedule is exemplified by checking a cellphone at random times rather than consistently after hearing a notification.
- Catching fish at unpredictable intervals aligns with variable interval reinforcement.
- Continuously calling a friend with varying intervals (5-20 minutes) despite going to voicemail exemplifies a variable interval schedule.
Instinctual Behavior
- An example of instinct is a baby seeking food by rooting and suckling, demonstrating innate unlearned behaviors.
Learning Processes
- Acquisition is the initial period of learning when an organism connects a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.
Research on Emotion
- John B. Watson is notably recognized for his studies using Little Albert to examine human emotional responses.
Observational Learning
- Vicarious punishment occurs when an observer sees a model receive punishment, leading to a decreased likelihood of imitating the model’s behavior.
