Learning How do we learn?
3
What is Classical conditioning?
Ivan Pavlov (Respondent Behavior)
4
Classical Conditioning
Unconditioned Stimulus(UCS) = Meat Unconditioned Response (UCR)=Salivation Neutral Stimulus = Tone Conditioned Stimulus (CS) = Tone When paired with the unconditioned stimulus Conditioned response (CR) = Salivation to tone
5
Example
6
Example
7
Example Father spanks son for swearing.
Son develops a strong fear of his father. Father is a(n) _____________? Conditioned stimulus
8
Classical Conditioning
Acquisition Extinction Patient riding elevators to extinguish fear of elevators
9
What is generalization?
10
Do you remember? Who developed classical conditioning?
How can you condition a cat to come when it is time to eat? What is the UCS, UCR, CS, and CR What is generalization?
11
What is Operant Conditioning?
B.F. Skinner (Operant behavior) Associating behavior with its consequences E.g. Seals in an aquarium doing a trick to receive a fish.
12
What does reinforcement do?
Positive reinforcement Increases behavior Give something a person wants E.g. Vending machine Negative reinforcement Remove an unwanted stimulus E.g. Bill cleans up his room to stop Mother nagging
13
Pos. & Neg. Reinforcement
14
What are primary & secondary reinforcers?
Primary = Innately reinforcing Food & Sex Secondary reinforcers (Conditioned reinforcer) Associated with a primary reinforcer E.g. Money Food Want Food Want
15
Do you want immediate or delayed Reinforcement?
Immediate reinforcement is more motivating A smaller check now is immediate reinforcement. As opposed to delayed reinforcement A larger paycheck at the end of the month. Lottery payout Saving for retirement Social Security at age 62 or 70
16
What are reinforcement schedules?
Continuous Every time Partial (Intermittent) Fixed ratio $15 for every 3 pages you write Fixed Interval $15 for every hour you work Variable ratio $15 after varying # of pages (You do not know how many pages you will need to do before you get paid again) Variable interval $15 given at various times during the day What reinforcement schedule does a slot machine use? What reinforcement schedule does your employer use?
17
What does punishment do?
Positive punishment Reduces behavior Get something you don’t want Time out, spanking, or jail Negative punishment What you do want is taken away ( Television time) Problem with punishment Creates anger, fear, resistance Less effective than positive reinforcers to promote desirable behavior.
18
How does shaping work? Reinforce closer and closer approximations of what you want Cookies to reinforce quiet play Each time they need to play longer to get the cookies M&M therapy Animal behavior
19
Do you remember? Who developed operant conditioning?
How does operant conditioning differ from classical conditioning? What is an example of positive and negative reinforcement? What is an an example of five reinforcement schedules? What is an example of shaping?
20
What kinds of motivation do you have?
Internal (intrinsic) Motivation Hobby - You like doing it External (outside) motivation Job - You get money for doing it
21
How does thinking effect your behavior?
Behavior is not automatically produced by a reward. We think about it, and ask: How much of the reward do I get? What are the chances of getting the reward? Is the reward worth it?
22
What is observational Learning?
Albert Bandura Modeling - Bobo doll experiment E.g. Child turning the key to start the car (without explicit training) Matt using the ATM machine after watching Dad
23
Do you remember? What do you do because of internal motivation?
What do you do because of external motivation? How does cognitive processes (thinking) effect rewarded behavior? What did you learn with observational behavior?
