Learning and Reward
Selective Attention
Learning and Reward
Selective Attention
Close your eyes
Selective Attention
How the brain selects which sensory
stimuli to discard and which to pass along
to higher levels of processing
visual two-stage theory (Treisman)
rapid, parallel extraction of elementary
features
color
shape
orientation
Visual Two-Stage Theory
rapid, parallel extraction of elementary
features
slower, more effortful integration of the
extracted information to form objects
requires attention to features
But - if process the features separately,
how does the brain know which features
go with which objects?
Binding Problem
Treisman proposed attention is the
binding “agent”
illusionary conjunctions
when observer’s attention divided/
overextended, features recombine incorrectly
Auditory Selective Attention
Cocktail party phenomenon
ability to focus on a single conversation
despite the background chatter and noise
When you are at a party, what single
word will you almost always be able to
hear regardless of how much background
noise?
Early Selection Theories
Early Selection
choose stimuli we will attend to even before
we process their basic features
Filter Theory (Broadbent)
Assumptions
limited capacity for sensory information
must therefore screen incoming info
Late Selection Theories
Late Selection
“take in sensory information, process it, and
then select which aspects of the stimuli
should be attended”
Multiple Stages
Attention can act at different stages of
processing
may see some selective attention at early
stages
may see some selective attention at later
stages

Learning
learning theorists focus on observable
behaviour rather than internal states or
mental processes, which means they
follow the _________ school of
psychology
Learning
Classical Conditioning
Operant Conditioning
both involve
stimulus
response
Classical Conditioning
commercial
Classical Conditioning
Association
trying to quit smoking
pairing of a stimulus that previously was
neutral with one that already produces a
response
Prediction
Classical Conditioning: Balloons
Unconditioned stimulus: loud noise
Unconditioned response: startle
Conditioned stimulus: sight of needle
approaching the balloon
Conditioned response: preparation to
startle/startle
Classical Conditioning: Balloons
Conditioned response
similar but not identical to the unconditioned
response
weaker
Classical Conditioning: Pavlov
Dogs in research on digestion/salivation
were noted to salivate when saw the dish
where the food was kept or saw/heard the
assistant who usually brought it
presented a neutral stimulus (bell) which
previously had no effect on salivation
then paired sound of bell with meat
powder placed in the dog’s mouth
W. W. Norton
Pavlov
Basic Principles
Acquisition
process by which a previously neutral
stimulus acquires the ability to elicit a
conditioned response
repeated pairings of an unconditioned
stimulus with the conditioned stimulus
Basic Principles
Acquisition
Extinction
the conditioned stimulus no longer elicits the
conditioned response
so coffee no longer automatically elicits
lighting up a cigarette
necessary so we don’t become “walking
collections of useless - but persistent conditioned responses
Basic Principles
Acquisition
Extinction
Spontaneous recovery
reappearance of the reaction after a time
interval
reaction will be weaker
Basic Principles
Acquisition
Extinction
Spontaneous recovery
Stimulus Generalization
stimuli similar to conditioned stimuli elicit
similar conditioned responses
“Little Albert”

Behaviourism
Watson
observable behaviour
mental processes did exist but can’t study
them
tabula rosa - all knowledge is acquired
through sensory experience
in the nature-nurture debate, Watson would
be on the ________ side
Operant Conditioning
Behaviour occurs and a consequence
follows
Operant Conditioning
Edward Thorndike
“law of effect”
learning depends upon the consequences for
the animal of its behaviour
B. F. Skinner
changed Thorndike’s wording from “satisfying
state of affairs” and “annoying state of
affairs” to “reinforcers”
Advantages of Operant Conditioning
Permits the organism to adjust its
behaviour according to the consequences
of that behaviour
allows organism to develop new
behaviours
shaping
successive approximations
chaining
Reinforcers
Stimulus following a response that
increases the likelihood that the response
will be repeated
Reinforcers
primary reinforcers
basic needs such as food and water
secondary reinforcers
stimulus that act as reinforcers but do not
satisfy biological needs
established through classical
conditioning
pieces of paper called money
Reinforcement & Punishment
Consequences that affect the likelihood
that a behaviour will be repeated
Reinforcement
strengthen the behaviours they follow
can be negative or positive
Punishment
suppress the behaviours they follow
can be negative or positive
Positive and Negative Reinforcement
Increase probability the behaviour will be
repeated
Positive reinforcement
“reward”
increases probability behaviour will be
repeated by administering a pleasurable
stimulus
candy
Positive and Negative Reinforcement
Negative Reinforcement
increases probability behaviour will be
repeated by removing an aversive stimulus
examples:
close the door to shut out the noise
change the channel to avoid watching an awful
program
shut off the radio to avoid listening to the premier
taking Tylenol for a headache
Positive and Negative Punishment
Decreases the probability of a behaviour
recurring
Positive punishment
decrease probability of behaviour being
repeated by administering an aversive stimuli
getting a speeding ticket
Negative punishment
decrease probability of behaviour being
repeated by removing a pleasurable stimulus
Positive and Negative Punishment
Negative punishment
decrease probability of behaviour being
repeated by removing a pleasurable stimulus
losing driving privileges for speeding
Reinforcement VS Punishment
Refers to the probability of the behaviour
being either repeated (reinforcement) or
not repeated (punishment)
Positive VS Negative
Positive - administering a stimulus
a desired stimulus for reinforcement
an undesirable stimulus for punishment
Negative - removal of a stimulus
an aversive stimulus for reinforcement
a desirable stimulus for punishment
+ and - Reinforcement/Punishment
Step 1
What is the stimulus/consequence?
What is the behaviour?
Step 2
Do you see an increase or a decrease in the
frequency of the behaviour?
If increase, then reinforcement
If decrease, then punishment
+ and - Reinforcement/Punishment
Step 3
Is the stimulus (consequence) administered
or removed?
If administered, then positive
If removed, then negative
Reinforcer or Punisher?
Pay tuition on time so don’t have to pay
late charges
Stop at a stop sign to avoid getting a
ticket
lose computer privileges for misusing
computer
getting a bonus point if participate in
psychology study
time out for kicking another student
Schedules of Reinforcement
Continuous reinforcement
every occurrence of a particular behaviour is
reinforced
fast learning
fast extinction
Partial reinforcement
the consequence (reward) delivered
intermittently
Schedules of Reinforcement
Ratio Schedule
reinforcement delivered after a number of
responses have been made
Interval Schedule
reinforcement delivered after an interval of
time has passed
Schedules of Reinforcement
Fixed Schedule
reinforcement delivered after a specific
number of responses have been made or
after a specific length of time
paid a specific amount for each bottle or can
factory workers paid by the garment
hourly wages
Schedules of Reinforcement
Fixed Schedule
Variable Schedule
reinforcement delivered after a variable
number of responses made or after a variable
amount of time has passed
VLT machines (variable ratio)
random drug testing
winning a fight with your boyfriend/girlfriend
Variable-ratio schedule
Organism cannot predict how many
responses are required before
reinforcement will occur
get high and steady rates of responding
very resistant to extinction
if behaviour only reinforced some of the
time, need to repeat behaviour frequently
before able to detect absence of
reinforcement
Problems with Behaviourism
Observational Learning
Learning that occurs “when behaviours
are acquired or modified following
exposure to others performing the
behaviour”
Studies:
Mineka - rhesus monkeys developed phobia
of snakes by observing other monkeys
Albert Bandura -studies of childhood
aggression
Vicarious Reinforcement
Is the model reinforced for performing the
behaviour?
Vicarious Learning - learn “about
consequences of an action by observing
others being rewarded or punished for
performing the action”
Power of Observational Learning
Imitating individuals by wearing items of
clothing that are linked to those
individuals?
Why would someone do that?
What reinforcement is there in imitating
famous people?
Media Violence
Yes
aggressive behaviour
may be learned
through observation
companies believe
ads work/influence
our behaviour so why
not TV
programs/movies?
No
Media Violence
Yes
No
conveys message
okay to use violence
if you are right
conveys message that
violence understandable, if not
acceptable, means of
handling difficulties
Media Violence
Yes
may convince viewers
that violence is more
common in real life
than it is
desensitization
No
Media Violence
Yes
No
everyone who views
violent movies
doesn’t go out
committing
murders/beating
everybody up
but … increased
tendency to act
aggressively?
Road rage
Gambling
Gambling Addiction
Operant
Conditioning
Classical
Conditioning
Observational
Learning
establish and
maintain gambling
behaviour
maintenance of behaviour
watch or gamble with family
members
Partial variable ratio
schedule
pleasure associated with
winning associated with
environmental cues
vicarious reinforcement when
family members win
resistant to extinction
environmental cues then
elicit response/feelings originally
made to winning
addiction is growing fastest in
age range from 12 to 17
86% of 9 to 14 year olds who
gambled regularly reported had
gambled with family members
Biological Basis
Reinforcement has a biological basis
primary reinforcers activate dopamine
systems
dopamine also neurochemical basis of
secondary positive reinforcement
so sight of your girlfriend, looking at the
winning lottery ticket may be conditioned to
produce dopamine activation
Biological Basis: Dopamine
Dopamine released by neurons in the
nucleus accumbens
damage to nucleus accumbens or
pathways
loss of motivation
loss of feeling of pleasure
drugs that block dopamine release
disrupts operant conditioning
Drug Dependence
Physiological dependence
psychological dependence
operant conditioning
positive reinforcement - feel good
negative reinforcement - remove feelings of
stress, forget their problems
Alcoholism
Physiological dependence
involves GABA, opiates and dopamine
receptors
Physiological effects
impairs (independently of belief):
motor processes (________ cortex)
information processing (________ cortices)
mood (______ cortex and ________ system)
• positive mood for moderate
• negative mood for larger doses
Alcoholism
psychological dependence
classical conditioning
beer/alcohol commercials associate good times,
friends etc. with drinking
operant conditioning
positive reinforcement negative reinforcement -
belief (not physiological effect):
disinhibition
Neuronal Basis for Learning
Hebb’s postulate
cells that fire together, wire together
