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.
