LT2 - Behaviourism, Classical Cond.

1. AO1

   • Assumptions
     • Observable, Measurable
     • Control, Objectivity, Lab Exps
     • Animals Used
     • Blank Slate
       • No genetics
         • Shaped by Environment
   • Classical Cond
     • UCS = Natural Reflex, provokes UCR
       • UCR = Unlearned, Naturally occuring response
         • NS = No UCR, No response
           • CS = When paired with UCS, Causes a CR
             • Previously NS
             • CR: Learnt response to CS
   • Pavlov
     • Bell = Dog Salivation?
       • Associated Bell (NS) with food (UCS)
     • Dog had to be alert
   • Classical Cond.
     • Applies to reflex behaviour
     • Shallow
     • Neutral stimuli presented to see if they elicit reflex
     • repeated pairings
       • NS and UCS => CS => CR
   • Additional Concepts
     • Extinction
       • Loss of CR to CS
         • CS and UCS have been stopped paired
     • Spontaneous Recovery
       • Extinct response suddenly reppears
         • Even w/out recent UCS pairings
     • Stim. Generalisation
       • Stimulus is close to CS
         • EG White rabbits to white furry objects
     • Stim. Discrimination
       • Similar stimuli to original CS do not produce CR
         • EG Building blocks to Albert
         • Too Diff
     • Temporal Contiguity
       • NS and UCS paired together in time
         • NS precedes UCS for optimal learning

   • Strengths
     • P: Applications
       • E1: SDT, Flooding, Aversion, through class. cond.
         • E2: Good for phobias, addictions
           • L: Improve QoL
             • CP:: Flooding high attrition vs CBT
     • P: Scientific
       • E1: Brought in concepts of the natural sciences
         • E2: Observable, highly controlled exp
           • E3: Soundproof Chamber
             • E4: Drops of saliva in cannola
               • L: Good Cause and effect, replicability, objectivity
   • Weaknesses
     • P: Env. Determinism
       • E1: Machine-like responders to env.
         • E2: SLT/Cog understand mental processes
           • E3: Mediation between stim and resp. shows active agency
             • L: Doesn't recognise full complexity of human behaviour
