Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment
• Learning—A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience
![Page 3: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Behaviorism
• The view that psychology should restrict its efforts to studying observable behaviors, not mental processes.
• Founded by John Watson – Thought that all human behavior is a result of
conditioning or a result of past experiences and environmental influences.
– Claimed he could take any child and train him to become any type of specialist.

Classical Conditioning
• A type of learning where a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it predicts another stimulus that naturally produces that response
• OR to put it simply: When an animal learns a natural reflexive response to something that it would NOT NORMALLY respond to.
• Learning by association
![Page 5: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Stimulus-Response
• Stimulus - anything in the environment that one can respond to
• Response – any behavior or action

Neutral Stimulus
• Does not normally elicit (cause) a response or reflex action by itself– a color– a furry object
• What was the NS in Pavlov’s Experiment?
• Bell
![Page 13: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Unconditioned Stimulus
• Always elicits a reflex action: an unconditioned (unlearned) response– blast of air
– Noise
• What was the UCS in Pavlov’s Experiment?
• Food
![Page 14: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Unconditioned Response
• The automatic response to the unconditioned stimulus
• A response to an unconditioned stimulus—naturally occurring & not learned– Eye blinks at blast of air– Startle reaction in babies
• What was the UCR in Pavlov’s Experiment?• Salivation
![Page 15: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conditioned (Learned) Stimulus
• The stimulus that was originally neutral becomes conditioned after it has been paired with the unconditioned stimulus
• Will eventually cause the unconditioned response by itself
• What was the CS in Pavlov’s Experiment?• Bell
![Page 16: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conditioned (Learned) Response
• The original unconditioned response becomes conditioned after it has been caused by the neutral stimulus
• Usually the same behavior as the UCR
• What was the CR in Pavlov’s Experiment?• Salivation

Classical Conditioning Terms
• Acquisition
• Extinction
• Spontaneous recovery
• Generalization
• Discrimination training
![Page 21: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Acquisition
• The initial learning that takes place in the during stage of conditioning when the animal starts to associate the NS with the UCS.
• NS + UCS = UCR
![Page 22: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Extinction
• The diminishing of a learned response
• When the CS is continually presented without the UCS then the CR will eventually begin to disappear.
![Page 23: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Spontaneous Recovery
• The reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response
• After a period of time if the CS is presented, the CR returns.
• Learning may disappear but is not eliminated.
![Page 24: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Spontaneous Recovery
![Page 25: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Generalization
• Process in which an organism produces the same CR to two similar stimuli (CS)
• The more similar the substitute stimulus is to the original used in conditioning, the stronger the generalized response
![Page 26: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Discrimination
• Ability of an animal to not respond to a new CS that is too different from the original CS.
• The subject learns that one stimuli predicts the UCS and the other does not.

John B. Watson and Little Albert• 11-month-old infant• Watson and his
assistant, Rosalie Rayner, classically conditioned Albert to be frightened of white rats
• Led to questions about experimental ethics

Could Little Albert’s Fear Have Been Undone?
• YES!!! Through Counter Conditioning!
• Must pair the conditioned stimulus (Rat) with something that is incompatible with fear (Candy).
CS = CR UCS = UCR
CS + UCS = UCR
CS = New CR

How is classical conditioning involved in the placebo effect?
• Individual expects a drug will work a certain way and have a psychological and physiological reaction to it.
• Regular use may produce “placebo response” where user associates sight, smell, taste with drug effect

Robert Rescorla (1940- )
• Developed a theory emphasizing the importance of cognitive/mental processes in classical conditioning
• Pointed out that subjects had to determine (think) whether the NS/CS was a reliable predictor of the UCS
![Page 37: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Rescorla’s Experiment
When the rats in group 2 could not reliably predict when the shocks would occur the result was they didn’t learn to fear the
tone. This shows they were using cognitive processes!

Biological Preparedness• We are predisposed to learn things that affect our
survival.• Internal stimuli—associate better with taste• External stimuli—associate better with pain• The majority of phobias are about objects of natural
importance to the survival of the species. • Animals seem to be biologically prepared to fear
certain types of stimuli that represent natural threats to survival. – We are predisposed to avoid threats our ancestors faced--
food that made us sick, storms, heights, snakes, etc.– But not modern-day threats--cars, water pollution, etc.

Taste Aversion• Rats drank flavored water (NS) and hours later
were given a shot with a drug (UCS) that made them sick (UCR). The rats refused to drink the flavored water again.
• Subjects become classically conditioned to avoid specific tastes, because the tastes are associated with nausea.
John Garcia (1917- )
**Differs from other Classical Conditioning in that:•It did not require repeated pairings of a NS and UCS. •The time span between the two was a few hours.•Rats were conditioned to taste and not anything else that occurred in the hours between when they drank the flavored water and got sick.
![Page 41: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Flooding as a Cure for Phobias(example of extinction)
• When a fear is disproportionate to the harm it could cause, psychologists could use flooding to cure phobias.
• Expose person to the harmless stimulus repeatedly until fear becomes extinct.
• Drawbacks of this technique?
![Page 43: Learning (Conditioning). Learning is how we Adapt to the Environment Learning— A relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649eec5503460f94bfda21/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Systematic Desensitization
• People are taught relaxation techniques and are gradually exposed to the stimulus causing fear.
• Example: Pictures of the stimulus (snakes), the actual stimulus far away, the stimulus closer, and finally holding/touching a snake.
• All the while, they are pairing the experience with something NOT fearful and hopefully relaxing
