Study Notes
Learning
- Learning is a relatively enduring change in behavior resulting from experience
- Learning is categorized into three main types: nonassociative, associative, and observational
Nonassociative Learning
- Involves changes in response to a single stimulus over time
- Habituation: Decrease in response after repeated exposure to a stimulus (e.g., getting used to noise in a daycare)
- Sensitization: Increased response after exposure to a stimulus, often threatening or painful (e.g., reacting strongly to a sibling's touch after being hit)
Associative Learning
- Involves making connections between two events
- Classical Conditioning: Learning that one stimulus predicts another
- Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Naturally triggers a response
- Unconditioned Response (UR): Natural response to the US
- Neutral Stimulus: Initially doesn't trigger the UR but becomes a Conditioned Stimulus (CS) after learning
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): Learned response to the CS
- Conditioned Response (CR): The learned response to the CS
- Operant Conditioning: Learning that a behavior leads to a certain outcome
- Positive Reinforcement: Adding a stimulus to increase behavior
- Negative Reinforcement: Removing a stimulus to increase behavior
- Positive Punishment: Adding a stimulus to decrease behavior
- Negative Punishment: Removing a stimulus to decrease behavior
Observational Learning
- Learning by watching others
- Modeling: Imitating observed behavior
- Vicarious Learning: Learning the consequences of an action by observing others
- Mirror Neurons: Neurons that activate when observing or performing an action, playing a role in empathy and learning
Key Experiments/Concepts
- Little Albert Experiment: Demonstrates classical conditioning
- Bobo Doll Study: Illustrates observational learning
Biological Preparedness and Constraints
- Biological factors influence which associations are learned more easily, along with any limitations on learning imposed by biological factors.
