Learning Perspectives
• Pavlov’s classical conditioning
• B.F. Skinner Operant conditioning and
Cognitive Social Learning.
Classical Conditioning
• Something otherwise meaningless becomes
linked to a meaningful experience and
therefore causes same response as the
original experience on it’s own.
Reflexes – hardwired into brain
• Unconditioned
stimulus – a situation
that produces a
response without prior
learning
• For example – you are
cold
• Unconditioned
Response – is
unlearned and it is
automatically
associated with the
unconditioned
stimulus.
• For example – you get
goose bumps.
• Conditioned Stimulus
– a previously neutral
situation that causes
the conditioned
response after being
associated with the
unconditioned
situation (CS).
• For example – class
bell
• Conditioned Response
- learned behavior to a
conditioned stimulus
that occurs after a
relationship has been
created between CS
and US (CR).
• For example – you
know class is over
when the bell rings.
Operant Conditioning – B.F.
Skinner – consequence changes
behavior
• Reinforcement – a
consequence that
increase the likelihood
of a behavior
occurring.
• Punishment – a
consequence that
decreases the
likelihood of a
behavior occurring.
