learning
long lasting change in behavior resulting from experience
classical conditioning
-PAVLOV-learning by association
USURCSCR
unconditioned stimulusunconditioned responseconditioned stimulusconditioned response
acquisition
-first stage on classical learning-responding to CS without presentation of US-when the new behavior is acquired
delayed conditioning
-fastest way of acquisition-bell is ringing and food presented at the same time
trace conditioning
presentation of CS followed by short break, then US
simultaneous conditioning
CS and US presented at same time
backward conditioning
US presented first followed by CS ; this method is particularly ineffective
spontaneous recovery
after a CR is extinct, CR briefly reappears upon presentation of CS
who did little ALBERT experiment
Watson & Rayner
aversive conditioning
conditioned to have a negative response
second-order/higher order conditioning
using a CS as a US to condition a response to a new stimulus
learned taste aversions
learned to not like something because it made you nauseous or something the first time you ate it, or because it made you sick, or you became sick after you ate it

OPERANT conditioning
-SKINNNER is the father-edward thorndike also researched this-learning based on association of consequences with one's behavior
LAW of EFFECT
-Thorndike-if the consequences of the behavior are pleasant, the stimulus-response will be strengthened ; & vice versa
reinforcer
-makes the behavior more likely to occur-the food
reinforcement
-giving the food-defined by its consequences
omission training / negative punishment
removal of something pleasant
REINFORCEMENT
-INCREASES likelihood of behavior1) Positive: adds something pleasant2) takes away something unpleasant
PUNISHMENT
-DECREASES likelihood of behavior1) Positive: adds something unpleasant2) Negative: takes away something pleasant (omission)
Shaping
reinforces the steps used to reach the desired behavior
Chaining
taught to perform a number of response successfully to get a reward-goal is to link together a number of separate behaviors into a more complex activity
PRIMARY reinforcers
in of themselves rewarding-food, rewards, rest, water
SECONDARY reinforcers
-things we have learned to value-praise, chance to play video game
GENERALIZED reinforcer
can be traded for any kind of reward-MONEY*token economy* is an example
premack principle
explains that whichever of the two activives is preferred can be used to reinforce the other activity that isnt preferred
*look at worksheets and in book*
contiguity
-togetherness determines the strength of a response-PAVLOV
Contingency
*RESCORLA*-contingency model: cognitive view of classical conditioning-A is contingent upon B when A depends upon B and vice versa

*Observational Learning/ Social*
-BANDURA: father-bobo doll-observation and imitation

*Latent Learning/Cognitive*
-TOLMAN : father-learn without realizing that you are-maps
*Insight Learning*
KOHLER : father-Lightbulb moment
