Pavlov….Pavlov STOP
• Volunteers – 5
• Paper cup with sugar
• Hear “Pavlov” Dip finger in sugar and eat
• Hear “Pavlov STOP” DO NOT DIP FINGER –close eyes & concentrate on what you’re experiencing.
• Reflect on Experience.

Learning and Behaviorism
• Three major areas of learning– Classical Conditioning: Pavlov
– Instrumental /Operant Conditioning: Skinner
– Social Learning Theory: Bandura
![Page 7: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do we learn?
• Associative Learning is learning that certain events occur together. The events may be 2 stimuli (classical) or a response and its consequences (operant).
• Conditioning is the process of learning associations
![Page 8: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Conditioning• Classical Conditioning – learn to assoc 2
stimuli and thus to anticipate events
• Operant Conditioning - learn to assoc a response (our behavior) & its consequences & thus to repeat acts followed by good results and avoid ones with bad results
• Observational Learning we learn by watching others’ experiences & examples.

Think About It…
• Can you remember example from childhood of learning through classical conditioning?
• What about operant conditioning?
• What about watching someone perform an act and you later repeated that act?
• Discuss

What is Behaviorism?
• School of psychology- studies scientifically observable behaviors, not unconscious drives.
• Behaviorists like tabula rasa (blank slate)
• Free will is an illusion.
• Includes classical, operant and social learning theory

John B. Watson
“Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own special world to bring them up in, and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select –doctor, lawyer, merchant-chief, and yes, beggar man or thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors.”

Classical Conditioning
• Who was Pavlov?
• Ivan Pavlov
• Studied Digestion of Dogs.
• Dogs would salivate before they were given food (triggered by sounds, lights etc…)
• Dogs must have LEARNED to salivate.

What is classical conditioning?
• When your brain and nervous system make an association between 2 stimuli (things).
• Example: food and a bell
![Page 14: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Classical Conditioning
• This is passive learning (automatic…learner does NOT have to think).
• First thing you need is a unconditional relationship.
• Unconditional Stimulus (UCS)- something that elicits a natural, reflexive response.
• Unconditional Response (UCR)- response to the UCS.
![Page 15: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Classical Conditioning• Next you find a neutral stimulus (something
that by itself elicits no response).
• You present the stimulus with the UCS a whole bunch of times.
![Page 16: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Classical Conditioning
• After a while, the body begins to link together the neutral stimulus with the UCS.
• Called Acquisition
![Page 17: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Classical Conditioning
• We know learning takes place when the previously neutral stimulus elicits a response.
• At this point the neutral stimulus is called the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditional response becomes the conditioned response (CR).

HOMEWORK PRACTICE
• Examples of Classical Conditioning – Identify the US, UR, CS, & CR for each scenario

What is the Little Albert experiment?
• John Watson classically conditioned a baby to fear a white rat. Then the baby feared all furry things. (this is called generalization)
![Page 22: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Pavlov spent the rest of his life outlining his ideas. He came up with 5 critical terms that
together make up classical conditioning.
• Acquisition
• Extinction
• Spontaneous Recovery
• Generalization
• Discrimination
![Page 23: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Classical Conditioning
• TRICKY FACT: We know learning exists because the CS is linked to the UCS.
• This is called ACQUISITION.
• Acquisition does not last forever.
• The moment the CS is no longer associated with the UCS, we have EXTINCTION.
![Page 24: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Acquisition
Does timing matter?
• The CS should come before the UCS
• They should be very close together in timing. (about ½ second)
![Page 25: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Timing Matters • Delayed Conditioning: present CS, while CS is still there,
present UCS.• Trace Conditioning: present CS, short break, then
present UCS.• Simultaneous Conditioning: CS and UCS are presented at
the same time.• Backward Conditioning: UCS is presented, then CS is
presented.

Spontaneous Recovery
• Sometimes, after extinction, the CR still randomly appears after the CS is presented.
• Apply this to real life. How could it be a problem?
![Page 27: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Generalization and DiscriminationGeneralization
• Something is so similar to the CS that you get a CR.
Discrimination
• Something so different to the CS so you do not get a CR.

Classical Conditioning and Humans
• John Watson brought Classical Conditioning to psychology with his Baby Albert experiment.
This type of Classical Conditioning is also known as Aversive Conditioning.

Higher-Order ConditioningWhen a new neutral stimulus becomes a new conditioned stimulus
First Order Conditioning.
•Bell + meat = salivation.
•Bell = Salivation.
Second Order Conditioning(After first order conditioning has occurred)
•Light + Bell = Salivation.
•Light = Salivation.

Garcia and Koelling Study
• Studied rats and how they make associations.
• Some associations seem to be adaptive.

Are you being conditioned without knowing it?
• Advertisers use association all the time!
• Associating attractive models/celebrities with their product makes us feel positive when we see that product.
• Trauma as classical conditioning
• Rape leads to fear of all sexual encounters

Learned Taste Aversions
• When it comes to food being paired with sickness, the conditioning is incredible strong.
• Even when food and sickness are hours apart.
• Food must be salient (noticeable.)

Applications of Taste Aversion• treating alcoholism, using the
drug Antabuse– causes nausea and violent vomiting
when combined with alcohol
– attempts to create a taste aversion to alcohol
• Problem: alcoholics tend to stop taking Antabuse so they can drink again– but when used properly, Antabuse
does reduce total amount of alcohol consumed (Brewer et al., 2000; Chick et al., 1992)

Applications of Taste Aversion• humane methods of
controlling predators, agricultural pests?– coyotes & wolves ate sheep
carcasses laced with nausea-inducing poison; developed aversion to sheep meat (Gustavson et al., 1974, 1976)• wolves penned with sheep later
seemed to fear it!
– similar results with baboons in African gardens, raccoons attacking chickens, ravens & crows feeding on raven eggs

Operant Conditioning
The Learner is NOT passive.
Learning based on consequence!!!

The Law of Effect
• Edward Thorndike• Locked cats in a cage• Behavior changes because of
its consequences.• Rewards strengthen
behavior.• If consequences are
unpleasant, the Stimulus-Reward connection will weaken.
• Called the whole process instrumental learning (aka operant conditioning).

Thorndike’s Puzzle Box• Edward Thorndike (1874-
1949): created a puzzle box: cage with latched door that could only be opened by pressing lever inside
– cats became quicker and quicker to press lever once they figured it out
– Law of Effect: rewarded behaviors are more likely to be repeated

Reinforcer
• Any event that STRENGTHENS the behavior it follows.
Two Types of Reinforcement:
Positive and Negative

Negative Reinforcement• Strengthens a response by reducing or
removing an aversive stimulus.
Negative Reinforcement:
• The removal of something unpleasant. Two types of NR:
Escape Learning
Avoidance Learning
(Getting kicked out of class versus cutting class)

• Fanning yourself to escape the heat
• Leaving theater if movie is bad
• Smoking to relieve anxiety

PunishmentMeant to decrease a
behavior.Positive Punishment• Addition of something
unpleasant. (spanking=positive punishment)
Negative Punishment (Omission Training)
• Removal of something pleasant.
Punishment works best when it is immediately done after behavior and if it is harsh!

Punishment & Classical Conditioning• Spanking can lead to association b/w
parent & pain.
• US=spanking
• CS=Parent’s upraised hand that does the spanking
• UR=fear & crying from pain
• If parent’s upraised hand is paired often enough with the pain of spanking, children can begin to associate the gesture with pain & fear of their own parents. Can lead to children not trusting parents at early age

How do we actually use Operant Conditioning?
Do we wait for the subject to deliver the desired behavior?
Sometimes, we use a process called shaping.
Shaping is reinforcing small steps on the way to the desired behavior.
To train a dog to get your slippers, you would have to reinforce him in small steps. First, to find the slippers. Then to put them in his mouth. Then to bring them to you and so on…this is shaping behavior.
To get Adam to become a better student, you need to do more than give him a massage when he gets good grades. You have to give him massages when he studies for ten minutes, or for when he completes his homework. Small steps to get to the desired behavior.

Chaining Behaviors
• Subjects are taught a number of responses successively in order to get a reward.

Instinctive drift
• Animals will drift (or revert) back to instinctual behaviors while performing tasks.
• Example: Pigs will deposit coins in a piggy bank but will push the coins through the mud and flip it around on its way.
![Page 64: Bell Ringer in your notes - Psych with Connellyaaconnelly.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/1/3/22138464/learning.pdf · Bell Ringer –in your notes •List and explain some of the basic forms](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb588cc9ace067e542a4a19/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
• Behaviorists successfully taught a raccoon to deposit wooden coins into a metal container for food reinforcement. But soon the raccoon started rubbing the coins together and dipping them (not dropping them) into the container. It was performing the motor program raccoons use to "wash" food in a stream. This interfered with the trick to such an extent the Brelands had to give up on it. Instead, they trained the raccoon to "play basketball." The basketball was so large that the raccoon did not attempt to wash it.

Primary v. Secondary ReinforcersPrimary Reinforcer
• Things that are in themselves rewarding.
Secondary Reinforcer
• Things we have learned to value.
• Money is a special secondary reinforcercalled a generalized reinforcer (because it can be traded for just about anything)

Token Economy
• Every time a desired behavior is performed, a token is given.
• They can trade tokens in for a variety of prizes (reinforcers)
• Used in homes, prisons, mental institutions and schools. (Book-it = free pizza)

Premack Principle
• You have to take into consideration the reinforcersused.
• Is the reinforcerwanted….or at least is it more preferable than the targeted behavior.
Wick’s pizza might be a great positive reinforcer for me, but it would not work well on a vegetarian.

Reinforcement Schedules
How often to you give the reinforcer?
• Every time or just sometimes you see the behavior.

Continuous v. Partial Reinforcement
Continuous
• Reinforce the behavior EVERYTIME the behavior is exhibited.
• Usually done when the subject is first learning to make the association.
• Acquisition comes really fast.
• But so does extinction.
Partial/Intermittent
• Reinforce the behavior only SOME of the times it is exhibited.
• Acquisition comes more slowly.
• But is more resistant to extinction.
• FOUR types of Partial Reinforcement schedules.

Ratio Schedules
Fixed Ratio• Provides a
reinforcement after a SET number of responses.
Variable Ratio• Provides a
reinforcement after a RANDOM number of responses.
• Very hard to get acquisition but also very resistant to extinction.
Fixed Ratio- She gets a manicure for every 5 pounds she loses.

Interval Schedules
Fixed Interval• Requires a SET amount
of time to elapse before giving the reinforcement.
Variable Interval• Requires a RANDOM
amount of time to elapse before giving the reinforcement.
• Very hard to get acquisition but also very resistant to extinction.
• EG – Pop Quizzes
Fixed Interval: She gets a manicure for every 7 days she stays on her diet.

Delayed Gratification• Delayed gratification is a skill that many
parents want their children to have. People who can delay gratification are able to achieve more in life. Consider the following:
• What types of real world rewards occur on a delayed schedule?
• Did you learn to wait for rewards? Why or why not?
• Does the media encourage people to delay gratification? Why or why not?

Latent Learning
• Edward Toleman
• Three rat experiment.
• Latent means hidden.
• Sometimes learning is not immediately evident.
• Rats needed a reason to display what they have learned.

Cognition & Operant Conditioning
How does latent learning and external rewards affect learning?
• Rats put in maze for 10 days to explore. No reward.
• Next time in maze, they solved it very fast with food reward at end –developed cognitive map.
• Latent Learning - learning that becomes apparent only when incentive to demonstrate it.

Cognition and MotivationHow do in/extrinsic affect learning?
• Intrinsic Motivation - desire to perform behavior effectively for its own sake.People with this work and play for enjoyment, interest, self-expression or challenge. Examples?
• Extrinsic Motivation – desire to behave in certain ways to receive external rewards or to avoid threatened punishment. Examples?

• Insight Learning: This is an extension of the term, insight which was identified by Wolfgang Kohler while studying the behavior of chimpanzees. He said that insight learning is a type of learning or problem solving that happens all-of-a-sudden through understanding the relationships of various parts of a problem rather than through trial and error.
Sultan, one of Kohler's chimpanzes, learned to use a stick to pull bananas from outside of his cage by putting pieces of stick together. Given two sticks that could be fitted together to make a single pole that was long enough to reach the bananas, aligned the sticks and in a flash of sudden inspiration, fitted the two sticks together and pulled in the bananas. He didn't do this by trial and error, but had a sort of sudden inspiration or insight.
