AP PSYCHOLOGY: UNIT VI Introductory Psychology: Learning Learning is when you learn something…?

Introduction: Fact or Falsehood? Lowly animals, like sea snails, behave by instinct and are incapable of learning  False Humans are the only animals that can learn behaviors merely by observing others perform them  False The study of inner thoughts, feelings, and motives has always occupied a central place in psychology  False

Introduction: Fact or Falsehood? A person can be more readily conditioned to fear snakes and spiders than to fear flowers  True With training, pigeons can be taught to discriminate a Bach composition from a Stravinsky composition  True Negative reinforcement is another term for punishment  False

Introduction: Fact or Falsehood? Psychologists agree that punishment, regardless of its form, has little effect on behavior  False Animals learn only when rewards are given  False Animals can learn to make virtually any response if consistently rewarded for it  False

PART ONE Learning: The Basics

Unlike some animals, humans are not born with a 100% genetic blueprint for life…  Nature’s most important gift to us may be our adaptability…  Our capacity to learn new behaviors enables us to cope with changing circumstances

Learning: The Basics Learning  A relatively permanent change in behavior brought about by experience or practice  What does “relatively permanent” mean? Upon learning, some part of the brain is physically changed to record what has been learned; a process for memory  How do we learn? Seeing, doing, associating, etc.

PART TWO Learning: Classical Conditioning “If it makes your mouth water…”

Learning: Classical Conditioning Classical Conditioning  A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that already produces that response  Form of learning by association; one of the simplest forms of learning  Example Flushing the toilet/shower

Learning: Classical Conditioning Ivan Pavlov ( )  Russian physiologist  Initially interested in studying the digestive system of dogs  Classical conditioning Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) Unconditioned Response (UCR) Neutral Stimulus (NS) Conditioned Stimulus (CS) Conditioned Response (CR)

Elements of Classical Conditioning

Learning: Classical Conditioning Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)  A naturally occurring stimulus that triggers an involuntary reflex/response Pavlov’s DogsThe Toilet-Shower Problem UCSFoodUCSScalding hot water UCR NS CS CR

Learning: Classical Conditioning Unconditioned Response (UCR)  An involuntary reflex/response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned stimulus  The relationship between the UCS and UCR must be reflexive and not learned Pavlov’s DogsThe Toilet-Shower Problem UCSFoodUCSScalding hot water UCRSalivationUCRJump NS CS CR

Learning: Classical Conditioning Conditioned Stimulus (CS)  A stimulus that eventually produces a learned reflex response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus (USC)  The CS must be a neutral stimulus before conditioning occurs; originally known as the Neutral Stimulus (NS) Pavlov’s DogsThe Toilet-Shower Problem UCSFoodUCSScalding hot water UCRSalivationUCRJump NSBellNSYelling “flush!” CSBellCSYelling “flush!” CR

Learning: Classical Conditioning Conditioned Response (CR)  The learned reflex response to a conditioned stimulus  Generally, the CR replicates the UCR in terms of behavior (though the CR may be slightly weaker) Pavlov’s DogsThe Toilet-Shower Problem UCSFoodUCSScalding hot water UCRSalivationUCRJumping NSBellNSYelling “flush!” CSBellCSYelling “flush!” CRSalivationCRJumping

Just Remember… Unconditioned – UNLEARNED Conditioned – LEARNED

Putting It All Together

Learning: Classical Conditioning Acquisition  The process of developing a learned response  Occurs when a neutral stimulus (NS) is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) The subject learns a new response (CR) to a previously neutral stimulus (CS)

Learning: Classical Conditioning Necessities in Classical Conditioning  The CS must come before the UCS ***If Pavlov rang the bell just after he provided the dogs with food, they wouldn’t have become conditioned  The CS & the UCS must come very close together  Ideally no more than 5 seconds apart

Learning: Classical Conditioning Necessities in Classical Conditioning  The NS must be paired with the UCS several times before conditioning can take place  The CS is usually distinctive from other competing stimuli

Learning: Classical Conditioning Stimulus Generalization  The process by which an organism produces the same response to two similar stimuli  The more similar the substitute stimulus, the stronger the generalized response Pavlov’s Stimulation Experiment

Learning: Classical Conditioning Stimulus Discrimination  The process by which an organism produces different responses to two similar stimuli  The subject learns that one stimuli predicts the UCS while the other does not

Learning: Classical Conditioning Extinction  The disappearance/diminishing of a learned response  Occurs as the CS loses its power to trigger the CR The continual presentation of the CS alone will weaken the association between the two stimuli

Learning: Classical Conditioning Spontaneous Recovery  The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response  After a rest period, an extinguished CR spontaneously recovers, but if the CS persists alone, the CR will become extinct again

PART THREE Learning: Behaviorism

Classical conditioning eventually led to the study of behaviorism  Both Pavlov & Watson considered the consciousness, or the mind, unfit for the scientific study of psychology  (May have underestimated the importance of cognitive processes and biological constraints…)

Learning: Behaviorism Founded by John B. Watson  Behaviorism focused on objective and observable acts; “nurture”  By manipulating a stimulus, a psychologist can control a learner’s behavioral response  Today, most believe that learning is the result of cognition, which is influenced by both nature and nurture

Learning: Behaviorism John B. Watson & Rosalie Rayner (1920)  Sought to explain that fears/phobias can be explained through classical conditioning  Established a fear of rats in an 11-month old, Albert  Led to questions about experimental ethics

Learning: Behaviorism The Experiment  NS: White rat (initially elicited no response)  UCS: Loud noise  UCR: Crying/fear  Loud noise (UCS) paired with rat (NS)…creates…  CS: White rat  CR: Crying/fear/Nate In this case, Albert’s fear is known as a conditioned emotional response (CER) What about white rabbits? Fur coats? Santa?
