- 1LearningThe process of acquiring new and relatively enduring behaviors
- 2ConditioningThe process of learning associations
- 3Operant Conditioning-We learn to associate a response (our behavior) and its consequence
EX- Child says please and gets a cookie, child says gimmie and doesn't get a cookie. The child learns to say please - 4Observational Learning-Learn from others experience
EX: a chimp watches another chimp solve a puzzle and gain a reward, then performs the trick more quickly. - 5Classical Conditioning-We learn to associate two stimuli and thus anticipate events.
EX: When we see lightening we anticipate thunder. - 6(Processes of classical/Operant conditioning) Acquisition/Extinction/Spontaneous Recovery-Acquisition: The initial stages of learning/conditioning
-Extinction: Decrease in the conditioned response
-Spontaneous recovery: Reapperance of a weaked CR after a pause - 7(Processes of classical/Operant conditioning) Generalization/Discrimination-Generalization:Tendency to have a CR triggered by a similar stimuli
-Discrimination: Learned ability to only respond to a specific stimuli, preventing generalization. - 8Law of effect-Rewarded behavior tends to reoccur
- 9Elements of Operant Conditioning: Reinforcement/Punishment-Reinforcement:Increases behavior
primary: Stimulus that meets basic needs, automatic
Secondary: Stimulus such as money which has become associated with the primary, learned
-Punishment: Decreases in behavior - 10Positive/Negative Reinforcement-Positive: Stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response
-Negative: Any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strenghtens the response - 11Shaping-Guiding a creature toward the behavior by rewarding behavior
- 12Reinforcement Schedule-A pattern that defines how often a desired response will be reinforced
