Study Notes
Learning Definitions and Forms
- Learning is the process of acquiring new, relatively enduring information or behaviors through experience.
- Basic forms include classical conditioning (preparing for events like food or pain), operant conditioning (repeating rewarded actions, avoiding punished ones), and cognitive learning (learning from observation and language).
Associative Learning
- We learn primarily through association, connecting sequential events.
- Learned associations can be subtle, influencing judgments and behaviors (e.g., using red pens for error marking).
- Habits form from repeated behaviors in a given context, impacting decision making, especially during mental fatigue.
- Beneficial habits take 66 days of consistent practice, on average.
Habituation and Classical Conditioning
- Habituation is decreased responsiveness to a repeated stimulus.
- Associative learning, illustrated by classical conditioning, links two or more events occurring close together.
- Classical conditioning associates two stimuli, anticipating an event (e.g., lightning predicting thunder).
Classical Conditioning Components
- A neutral stimulus (NS) initially does not trigger a response.
- An unconditioned stimulus (US) naturally and automatically triggers an unconditioned response (UR).
- Through repeated pairings of NS and US, the NS becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS) and triggers a conditioned response (CR).
Classical Conditioning Processes
- Acquisition is the initial learning phase where NS becomes CS.
- Extinction occurs when the CS no longer predicts the US, decreasing the CR.
- Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of an extinguished CR after a pause.
- Generalization is responding similarly to stimuli similar to the CS.
- Discrimination is distinguishing between CS and similar, but irrelevant, stimuli.
- Higher-order conditioning links a new NS with a previously conditioned stimulus (CS).
Classical Conditioning Applications
- Classical conditioning helps predict important biological events (food, danger, mates).
- It can impact drug cravings, food cravings, and the immune system.
- Watson demonstrated how specific fears can be conditioned, highlighting the potential role of conditioning in emotional responses.
Operant Conditioning
- Operant conditioning associates behavior with consequences; increasing desired behaviors and decreasing undesirable ones.
- Reinforced actions are more likely to recur; punished actions are less likely to occur.
Operant Conditioning Figures and Tools
- Thorndike's law of effect: rewarded behavior tends to be repeated.
- Skinner box is an operant chamber where organisms manipulate levers to receive reinforcers (e.g., food, water).
Operant Conditioning Concepts
- Shaping guides behavior toward a desired response by reinforcing successive approximations.
- Reinforcement is any event that increases the frequency of a preceding response.
- Positive reinforcement adds a desirable stimulus.
- Negative reinforcement removes an aversive stimulus.
- Primary reinforcers are unlearned (e.g., food).
- Conditioned reinforcers are learned (e.g., money, praise).
- Reinforcement schedules (continuous vs. partial; fixed vs. variable) influence behavior consistency.
- Punishment decreases behavior, but can have several drawbacks (e.g., teaching fear, not changing the cause of the behavior).
Operant Conditioning Applications
- Operant conditioning applies to education, sports, work, parenting, self-improvement, and stress management.
- Biofeedback helps manage certain physiological responses by providing immediate feedback for adjustments.
Comparing Classical and Operant Conditioning
- Classical conditioning focuses on associations among stimuli (involuntary/respondent responses).
- Operant conditioning focuses on associations between behaviors and consequences (voluntary/operant responses).
