Instrumental Conditioning

A Little History Thorndike –discrete trial procedure –outcome dependent on behavior –didn’t find imitative learning –first theory of instrumental learning

Thorndikes’ Law of Effect S-R associations are stamped in by reward (satisfiers) StimulusResponse

SR Thorndike’s Answer to “What is learned?” Reinforcement “stamps in” this connection Habit Learning
