Decrease in response to stimulus that occurs after repeated presentations of same stimulus Most primitive form of learning that occurs in every sensory system 79

27. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Learning Perspective 1- Learning Theory development results from learning, a long-lasting change in behavior based on experience or adaptation to the environment Behaviorism: describes observed behavior as a predictable response to experience React to environment when find it pleasing, painful, or threatening Associative learning: link is made between two stimuli/sensory events

28. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Learning Perspective Classical Conditioning Classical conditioning is a natural form of learning that occurs even without intervention. Pavlov: taught dog to salivate A natural response to a stimulus is paired with another stimulus through repeated associations. Learning a new response to an existing response. Conditioned response is a learned response Watson: little Albert

29. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Learning Perspective Operant Conditioning- Skinner Learning that behavior has consequences; operates on environment Baby cries, someone soothers- will cry to be soothed. Reinforce, extinguish, use successive approximations, learning through imitation of others Tend to repeat response that has desirable consequences and suppress a response that has a negative consequence (punishment)

30. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Punishment: process of weakening a behavior, decreasing likelihood of repetition. Suppresses a behavior thought aversive consequence. Withdrawing a positive (not using car) or aversive (jail) Reinforcement can be positive or negative Positive: reward Negative: taking away something the person does not like (aversive event)

31. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Extinguish: when no longer reinforce a behavior Behavior modification: behavioral therapy; operant conditioning to instill positive behavior.

All rights reserved. 2- Social Learning Theory (Social Cognitive)- Bandura People learn Development comes from the person Learn appropriate social behavior mainly by observing and imitating models- Observational Learning Through feedback, gradually development standards for judging own behavior Self-Efficacy: confidence that have what it takes to succeed

33. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. 3- Cognitive Perspective- Piaget At each stage, child’s mind develops in a new way from simple to complex Organization: tendency to create increasingly complex cognitive structures (system of knowledge; ways of thinking that incorporate more and more accurate images of reality Schemas: organized patterns of behavior that a person uses to think about and act in a situation.

34. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Adaptation: how children handle new information in light of what they already know Assimilation: taking new information and incorporating it into existing cognitive structures (sucking on sippie cup versus breats) Accommodation: adjusting one’s cognitive structures to fit new information (sipping from cup/glass, changes how uses tongue/mouth)

35. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Equilibration: constant striving for a stable balance/equilibrium, dictates shift from assimilation to accommodation

37. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Social Competence: Responding to Others Newborns have capability to imitate others’ behavior This provides them with important foundation for social interaction later in life 80

38. Discovering the Lifespan - Robert S. Feldman Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved. Form your group again and see which group in class can devise a way in which you can operantly condition your professor! Be creative (smile).

Review and Apply REVIEW Newborns’ respiratory and digestive systems begin to function at birth. They have an array of reflexes to help them eat, swallow, find food, and avoid unpleasant stimuli. 81

Review and Apply REVIEW Newborns’ sensory competence includes the ability to distinguish objects in the visual field and to see color differences; the ability to hear and to discern familiar sounds; and sensitivity to touch, odors, and tastes. The processes of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and habituation demonstrate infants’ learning capabilities. 81
