Ninth Edition 4 Edward Lee Thorndike

Animal Research Before Thorndike Often characterized by anthropomorphizing. (e.g., Romanes (1848—1894)

Animal Research Before Thorndike Led to Morgan’s Canon (1891) “In no case may we interpret an action as the outcome of the exercise of a higher psychical faculty, if it can be interpreted as the outcome of the exercise of one which stands lower in the psychological scale” (p. 53).

Margaret Floy Washburn (1871—1939) First woman to earn the PhD in Psychology

Washburn’s Contributions Took the study of nonhumans one step closer to the laboratory. Drew conclusions from experimental studies rather than from naturalistic observations. Did not identify, control, and manipulate the important variables related to learning.

Edward L. Thorndike (1874—1949)

Thorndike’s Contributions Brought the study of non-human learning into the laboratory. Developed new methods for studying learning, including application of quantitative approaches. His bibliography comprised 507 books, monographs, and journal articles.

Major Theoretical Concepts Connectionism This marked the first formal attempt to link sensory events to behavior. Selecting and Connecting The most basic form of learning was trial-and-error learning (originally called selecting and connecting.

Major Theoretical Concepts One kind of puzzle box that Thorndike used in his research on learning.

MAJOR THEORETICAL CONCEPTS

Major Theoretical Concepts Learning Is Incremental, Not Insightful. In other words, learning occurs in very small systematic steps rather than in huge jumps.

MAJOR THEORETICAL CONCEPTS

Major Theoretical Concepts Learning Is Not Mediated by Ideas. All Mammals Learn in the Same Manner. Laws of learning are the same for all animals.

Thorndike Before 1930 The Law of Readiness When someone is ready to perform some act, to do so is satisfying. When someone is ready to perform some act, not to do so is annoying. When someone is not ready to perform some act and is forced to do so, it is annoying.

Thorndike Before 1930 The Law of Exercise The Law of Use: Merely exercising the connection between a stimulus and a response strengthens the connection between them. The Law of Disuse: Connections between stimuli and responses are weakened if the neural bond is not used.

Thorndike Before 1930 The Law of Effect (Thorndike on Reinforcement) If a response is followed by a satisfying state of affairs, the strength of the connection is increased. If a response is followed by an annoying state of affairs, the strength of the connection is decreased.

Secondary Concepts Before 1930 Multiple Response Set or Attitude Prepotency of Elements

Secondary Concepts Before 1930 Response by Analogy We respond to a new situation as we would to a related situation that we previously encountered. This is Thorndike’s famous identical elements theory of transfer of training.

Secondary Concepts Before 1930 Associative Shifting Depends only on contiguity. Represents a second kind of learning that is similar to the theories of Pavlov and Guthrie.

Thorndike After 1930 “I was wrong.” For all practical purposes he discarded the entire Law of Exercise after 1930. Revised Law of Effect: Punishment does nothing to the strength of a connection.

Thorndike After 1930 Belongingness If the elements of an association somehow belong together, the association between them is learned and retained more readily .

Thorndike After 1930 Principle of Polarity A learned response is most easily given in the direction in which it was formed. e.g., Recite the alphabet backwards.

Thorndike After 1930 Spread of Effect Thorndike accidentally found that a satisfying state of affairs not only increased the probability of recurrence of the response that led to the satisfying state of affairs but also increased the probability of recurrence of the responses surrounding the reinforced one.

Thorndike on Education Thorndike (1912) had a low opinion of the lecture technique of teaching that was so popular then (and now). Motivation is relatively unimportant, except in determining what will constitute a “satisfying state of affairs” for the learner.

Thorndike on Education The learning situation must be made to resemble the real world as much as possible. Thorndike would approve of apprenticeship and internship programs and would be particularly enthusiastic about trade schools.
