In what way do you learn best? Explain your response.

#s 1-3 : Brief Intro and Classical Conditioning

3. How do we learn? Learning Habituation Associative Learning
A permanent change in behavior because of experience
EX: I won’t open my eyes under water anymore because it makes them sting
Habituation
Becoming less responsive to something because you are always around it
EX: less excited about a movie because you’ve seen it 10 times
Associative Learning
Learning that things occur together
Classical
Operant
Observational

4. Brief Intro to Classical
Linking two or more stimuli and anticipate response

5. Brief intro to Operant
Type of learning where behavior is strengthened or diminished with a reinforce or punishment

6. Classical Conditioning
EX: salivating at a food commercial
Ivan Pavlov
Pavlov’s dog = salivating dog experiment
John B. Watson
Little Albert case study
Behaviorism
Both Pavlov & Watson are considered behaviorists
Looks at psychology strictly from a behavior perspective, no reference to mental process

7. Parts of Classical Conditioning
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
Something that provokes you naturally, triggers something
EX: food, loud noise, kiss
Unconditioned Response (UR)
Natural/automatic response to a stimulus; the reaction
EX: salivating, jumping, arousal
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Learned/trained stimulus that provokes a response
Usually happens are repeated pairing
EX: bell, specific smell
Conditional Response (CR)
Learned/trained response to something that was once neutral but now provokes a reaction
EX: salivating, jumping, arousal, a feeling
Neutral Stimulus (N usually becomes to the CS)
A thing that would otherwise provoke no response

8. Pavlov’s Experiment

12. Example
The could be Neutral at this point

13. Lemonade Demo I will now train you to salivate like Pavlov’s dog.
There is a cup of lemonade powder on your desk
Every time I say the name Pavlov I want you to
lick your finger
Dip in powder
Eat the powder on your finger
When I raise my hand and say his name do NOT lick the powder
In your notes draw own the classical conditioning you just experienced.

14. Demo Drawing US (lemonade)  UR (salivating)
N/CS (Pavlov name) + US (lemonade)  UR (salivating)
CS (Pavlov name)  CR (salivating)
This conditioning happened because we repeatedly paired the name and the lemonade

15. Practice -Complete the Classical Conditioning Worksheet to practice.
SHOWER
US = hot water
UR = Pain
CS = flushing toilet
CR = jumping out
CAROUSEL
US = extreme heat
UR = fainting
CS = carousel music
CR = feeling dizzy
TUNA
US = spoiled mayo
UR = getting sick
CS = mention of tuna
CR = feeling nauseous
KITTENS
US = bright flash
UR = eye blink
CS = clicking sound
CR = eye blink
KITTIES & SNAPPERS
US = food
UR = licking chops
CS = snapping
CR= licking chops
LIVER
US = eating liver
UR = nausea
CS = seeing liver
CR = nausea

16. Act it Out Extinction Spontaneous Recovery Generalization
Pairing stops and CR fades away
Spontaneous Recovery
Out of nowhere the CR returns
Generalization
To generalize a stimulus so now similar stimulus trigger CR
Discrimination
CR only triggered by something very specific rather than something similar
With your row come up with a little skit that demonstrates the concept assigned to you
It’s like you are demoing an application
