PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING By Sana Fatima Associate Clinical Psychologist-IPP Learning ‘measurable changes in behavior as a result of practice’ and the conditions that accompany practice. Basic theories Classical Conditioning (Ivon-Pavlov) Operant Conditioning (B.F Skinner) Social Learning (Bandura) IVAN PETROVICH PAVLOV (1849-1936) Institute of Experimental Medicine during the years of 1891-1900 Majority of his research on the physiology of digestion With his method of research, Pavlov helped create for new advances in theoretical and practical medicine. He showed that the nervous system primarily controlled the digestive process, and this finding is the basis of modern physiology of digestion (Babkin, 1949). In his study on the reflex regulation of the activity of the digestive glands Pavlov paid close attention to the “psychic secretion,” which is caused by food stimuli at a distance from an animal Pavlov’s Experiment UCS > UCR UCS + NS > UCR NUMBER OF PAIRINGS NS = CS CS > CR SIGNAL LEARNING CS is presented just before the UCS SOUND OF BELL > MEAT IS COMING LEARNING OF INVOLUNTAR Y RESPONSES Responses over which the learner has no control EXTINCTION Disappearance of a conditioned response when a conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY The reappearance of the CR in the presence of the NS / CS following a rest period STIMULUS GENERALIZATION When the learner responds to other stimulus in the same way as the CS STIMULUS DISCRIMINATION when one stimulus CS1 is presented in conjunction with an UCS and another CS2 is presented without UCS Individual responds to CS1 and not to CS2 Homework One example from your own life for each concept/term Take one example and explain each concept through the same example (from your own daily life).
