Study Notes
Classical Conditioning
- Involves learning to associate two stimuli.
- Key terms include unconditioned stimulus (US), unconditioned response (UR), conditioned stimulus (CS), and conditioned response (CR).
- Generalization refers to responding similarly to stimuli resembling the conditioned stimulus.
- Discrimination involves responding differently to distinct stimuli.
Operant Conditioning
- Learning based on consequences of behavior, where responses to stimuli are reinforced.
- Behaviors can be reinforced on fixed-interval and fixed-ratio schedules.
- Negative reinforcement involves increasing a behavior by removing an aversive stimulus.
Learning Types
- Associative learning is when certain events occur together.
- Observational learning occurs by watching models, with effectiveness increasing when models are consistent in their actions and words.
- Aggressive behaviors can be learned through observation, particularly from models who go unpunished.
Psychological Perspectives
- John B. Watson emphasized the importance of observable behavior over internal mental processes.
- Ivan Pavlov's research emphasized laws of learning being uniform across species.
Taste Aversion
- Research by John Garcia demonstrated that organisms are biologically predisposed to develop taste aversions, highlighting the significance of taste over other sensory modalities.
Motivation
- Extrinsic motivation refers to performing an activity to achieve a separable outcome, while intrinsic motivation arises from personal enjoyment or satisfaction.
Extinction
- Refers to the weakening or diminishing of conditioned responses in both classical and operant conditioning scenarios.
Human and Animal Behavior
- Response patterns and learning mechanisms, including observational learning, are critical in understanding human and animal behavior dynamics.
