Study Notes

Key Concepts in Learning and Conditioning

Perpetuates: Refers to the continuation of an undesirable situation or belief indefinitely.
Elicited: Involves drawing out a response or answer from an individual in reaction to actions or questions.
Emitted: The process of producing and discharging substances, particularly gases or radiation.

Types of Learning and Conditioning

Taste Aversion Conditioning: A phenomenon where a taste linked to illness leads to rejection of that taste in the future, demonstrating maladaptive responses.
Simple, Unitary Reflex: A basic, single reflex response.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Initially neutral stimulus that elicits a conditioned response after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Conditioned Response (CR): The response triggered by the conditioned stimulus after conditioning.
Unconditioned Stimulus (US): The stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers the unconditioned response.

Classical Conditioning Mechanisms

Extinction: Occurs when a conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus, weakening the learned behavior until it is extinguished.
Fear Conditioning: A type of classical conditioning associating a neutral stimulus with an aversive unconditioned stimulus, leading to a conditioned fear response.
Conditioned Compensatory Response: A learned response that counteracts the unconditioned response, often seen with drug use.

Behavioral Learning Principles

Goal-Directed Behavior: Behavior influenced by the knowledge of consequences and their current value.
Habit: Automatic behavior triggered by a stimulus, becoming independent of the value of the reinforcer.
Law of Effect: Suggests that behaviors followed by pleasant outcomes are strengthened, while those followed by unpleasant outcomes are weakened.
Prediction Error: Occurs when the actual outcome of a learning experience differs from what is expected, crucial for learning and conditioning.

Observational Learning

Observational Learning: Learning achieved by watching the actions of others, rather than through direct experience.
Social Learning Theory: Proposes that individuals can learn new behaviors and responses from observing others, exemplified by vicarious reinforcement.

Contextual Influences

Context: Background stimuli present during learning that can affect the learning process, including environmental and internal factors.
Discriminative Stimulus: A signal that indicates the availability of reinforcement for a behavior.

Behavioral Recovery Phenomena

Spontaneous Recovery: The reappearance of an extinguished response after a period of time without exposure to the conditioned stimulus.
Renewal Effect: The recovery of an extinguished response when returning to the original context where conditioning occurred.

Reinforcement and Punishment

Reinforcer: Any consequence that strengthens a behavior and increases the likelihood of its repetition.
Punisher: A consequence that diminishes the strength of the behavior when it follows the response.
Reinforcer Devaluation Effect: When an animal stops a behavior leading to a previously desirable reinforcer that has become aversive.

Important Learning Outcomes

Blocking: The absence of conditioning to a stimulus when combined with a previously conditioned stimulus, highlighting the importance of predictive value in learning.
Preparedness: The concept that evolutionary history can facilitate learning specific associations, such as between certain tastes and sickness.
