Study Notes
Classical Conditioning
- Unconditioned Response (UCR): An automatic, reflexive response. Example: salivation to food.
- Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): A stimulus that naturally triggers a response. Example: food.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A previously neutral stimulus that, after association with the UCS, triggers a response. Example: sound of a can opener.
- Conditioned Response (CR): A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. Example: running to the kitchen when hearing the can opener.
Operant Conditioning
- Reinforcement: Consequences that increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
- Punishment: Consequences that decrease the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
- Positive Reinforcement: Adding a desirable stimulus to increase a behavior. (e.g., praise for good work)
- Negative Reinforcement: Removing an unpleasant stimulus to increase a behavior. (e.g., taking aspirin to relieve a headache)
- Positive Punishment: Adding an unpleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior. (e.g., spanking)
- Negative Punishment: Removing a desirable stimulus to decrease a behavior. (e.g., taking away a toy)
- Generalization: Responding to stimuli similar to the CS.
- Discrimination: Responding only to the specific CS and not to similar stimuli.
- Thorndike's Law of Effect: Behaviors followed by satisfying consequences are more likely to be repeated.
