PAVLOV BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL LEARNING
As you listen to this sound, discuss the sound with your shoulder partner.
What is the sound?
Does it make you think of something?
Does the sound make you want something?
What does it make you want?
LISTEN TO THE SOUND
If you are a coffee drinker like me, you may suddenly want a cup of coffee.
Why?

If you have a cat, this is a familiar scene. Why do the cats react this way to the sound of a can
opener? Can you think of other sounds that elicit an involuntary
response?

PAVLOV
• Pavlov development a theory to explained why humans and animals react to a sound or other stimulus.
• He conducted an experiment with a dog.• The dog would hear the sound of a metronome and then be given food
immediately.• The dog would salivate when given the food.• This was repeated several times. • Eventually, the dog would begin to salivate at the sound of the
metronome even when there was no food present. • From this experiment, the Classical Conditioning Theory was
developed.
Classical Conditioning lead to to the Behavioral Learning Theory. Behaviors can be measured, trained and changed. Behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the
environment.
"Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified 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, artist,
merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities,
vocations, and race of his ancestors."
--John Watson
BEHAVIORAL LEARNING THEORY
Two Types of Conditioning
Classical Conditioning – Behavioral Training as in Pavlov’s Dogs
Operant Conditioning – Learning through rewards and punishments for behavior
Can you think of ways these types of conditioning are used in the school setting?
BEHAVIORAL LEARNING THEORY
Based on both cognitive learning theory and behavioral learning theory
4 Requirements for Learning
1. Observation - Behaviors must be modeled
2. Retention- Ability to remember what is learned
3. Reproduction – Must be able to reproduce behavior
4. Motivation – Incentive to reproduce behavior
