This question is open-ended——there is no right or wrong answer, but there are better and worse answers. You may reflect on questions like the following: What are one or two points that were raised in the lectures, readings, or tutorial discussion that you would like to remember going forward? Is there a point or question that was raised in lecture, readings, or discussion that you would like to follow up on? What would you like to say (what would you have liked to say)? Did anything make you change your mind from what you thought going into the week? Responses will be graded out of 5pts, corresponding to the level of substance and engagement demonstrated. A full 5pts will be reserved for responses that not only summarize key points from the week, but which show active, independent, critical engagement with those points. You will be graded on the clarity, conciseness and compellingness of your writing. Behaviorism Prehistory of Cognitive Science Behaviorism When it comes to scientific explanations… In: Stimulus, Response, Environment Out: Thoughts, Memories, Feelings, Intentions, Desires, etc. Behaviorism and Learning Learning: experience that results in a relatively permanent change in the state of the learner Simple Learning: Habituation/Sensitization Complex Learning: Classical and Operant Conditioning Classical Conditioning (Associative Learning) Strengthens the association between a neutral and unconditioned stimulus This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC Operant Conditioning Reinforcement Learning Thorndike Box Law of Effect: Animal will repeat behaviors that are rewarded and avoid behaviors that are punished This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC Operant Conditioning Reinforcement Learning Skinner Box Allows for better study of how reward and punishment effects behavior Association between behavior and reward (punishment) is strengthened This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA  Big Bang Theory – Operant Conditioning Feeling Sad How do I know that someone feels sad? – Their behavior What does it mean when we say that someone feels sad? – That they are behaving in a certain way What is sadness?
