PSYCHOLOGY Chapter 6 LEARNING PowerPoint Image Slideshow FIGURE 6.1 Loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings are born knowing how to find the ocean and how to swim. Unlike the sea turtle, humans must learn how to swim (and surf).

CHAPTER PRETEST •How will you use Classical and Operant Conditioning in your own life? •What is Observational Learning in Social Learning Theory? •The Neural Basis for Learning •Summary LEARNING THEORY Theories that address how and why an animal learns something. We will look at the this from the point of a Behaviorist. These include Classical Conditioning, Operant Conditioning, Social Learning Theory, and the GOMS model. LEARNING THEORY •Empiricist philosophers argued that learning involves the forming of simple associations. • More complex learning simply involves many associations, layered upon each other. • All learning depends on the same mechanisms and should be governed by the same principles. BEHAVIORISM A Behaviorist: Someone who is concerned with explaining behavior (or looking at how we learn) primarily through seeing what is observable and measureable. The emphasis is on changes seen in behavior that occur as a result of a stimulus-response association made. BEHAVIORISM Behaviors can be learned or unlearned. Behaviors are seen as learned habits. Thoughts are considered behaviors. TERMS Stimulus: Anything that is detectable through your senses. These influence behavior, and can vary in intensity, and amount. Response: The response directly after the stimulus. QUIZ 1 What is a learning theory? What is Behaviorism? What does a Behaviorist emphasize? How does a Behaviorist classify thoughts? FIGURE 6.3 Ivan Pavlov’s research on the digestive system of dogs unexpectedly led to his discovery of the learning process now known as classical conditioning. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING Let’s start with a very simple way we, and other animals, make and keep stimulus-response connections. We make many. These form our behaviors. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING •In classical conditioning, animals learn about the association between one stimulus and another. This is very basic. • Before conditioning: • an unconditioned stimulus (US, such as food) • elicits an unconditioned response (UR, such as salivation) FIGURE 6.4 Before conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus (food) produces an unconditioned response (salivation), and a neutral stimulus (bell) does not produce a response. During conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus (food) is presented repeatedly just after the presentation of the neutral stimulus (bell). After conditioning, the neutral stimulus alone produces a conditioned response (salivation), thus becoming a conditioned stimulus. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING •After conditioning: • If the US follows a conditioned stimulus (CS, such as a buzzer) many times, • this CS on its own will soon • evoke the conditioned response (CR; here again, salivation). • https://youtu.be/qy_mIEnnlF4 • https://youtu.be/_NSeYRanbbU?list=PLGCFrUiQwdGXSO5oULXTeNLpjMoidcGf QUIZ 2 Please explain classical conditioning. Please explain the US and UR. When does the US become the CS? When does the UR become the CR? When do you add a neutral stimulus? What is second order conditioning? FIGURE 6.5 In higher-order conditioning, an established conditioned stimulus is paired with a new neutral stimulus (the second-order stimulus), so that eventually the new stimulus also elicits the conditioned response, without the initial conditioned stimulus being presented. EXTINCTION: THE GRADUAL WEAKENING IN THE CR •Second-order conditioning • When a CS-US relationship is well established, the CS can be preceded by a second, neutral stimulus. •Trials in which the CS is presented without the US lead to extinction, • but spontaneous recovery shows that the CR is only masked by extinction. EXTINCTION Gradual Decay: Conditioning likely needs continual stimulusresponse practice or connection. If not, it can decay over time or the stimulus can lose the “spark” over time. The stimulus can become predictable. Desensitization where the effect of the stimulus is dulled by over conditioning. This happens when the S-CR is presented several times. The S-CR is gradual for slightly intense to very intense. EXTINCTION Inoculation: The animal is presented with weakened form of the CSCR relationship so the person or animal finds it very easy to not get upset or caught up in the anxiety of the CS presentation. The purpose of inoculation is to attempt to make it so when the person is truly presented with the CS they remember how easy it was to resist the urges to react. FIGURE 6.7 This is the curve of acquisition, extinction, and spontaneous recovery. The rising curve shows the conditioned response quickly getting stronger through the repeated pairing of the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus (acquisition). Then the curve decreases, which shows how the conditioned response weakens when only the conditioned stimulus is presented (extinction). After a break or pause from conditioning, the conditioned response reappears (spontaneous recovery). HABITUATION •Habituation • Decrease of behavior in response to stimuli after several presentations of the stimuli. • The stimuli becomes familiar through repeated exposure. • Examples: tuning out a noise, decreasing a fear, being around a familiar scent, what else? • This can generalize to similar stimuli. DISHABITUATION A previously predictable stimulus changes, causing the organism to renew its attention to the stimulus. This is known as a spontaneous recovery. To reach habituation the stimulus must be presented long enough. QUIZ 3 What is extinction? What is habituation? What is dishabituation? What is stimulus generalization? FIGURE 6.8 John B. Watson used the principles of classical conditioning in the study of human emotion. FIGURE 6.9 Through stimulus generalization, Little Albert came to fear furry things, including Watson in a Santa Claus mask. OPERANT CONDITIONING B.F. Skinner. Deals with operants and respondents. A method of learning that occurs through reinforcements and punishments of behaviors (very simple explanation). https://youtu.be/H6LEcM0E0io https://youtu.be/JA96Fba-WHk CONTINGENCY RELATIONSHIP Respondents are behaviors that are not in conscious control. Operants are those under conscious control. Contingency is “if this happens, then this will”, i.e.the cause and effect. This describes the relationships between the stimuli and responses. This relationship tells you learning has occurred. OPERANTS •Operants are voluntary responses, strengthened by reinforcement. • But acquiring them may call for some initial shaping. Shaping is gradually molding or training an animal perform a desired response by reinforcing this animal when they respond how you want. • successive approximations: a series of rewards that provide positive reinforcement for behavior change. SHAPING Moving your respondent toward the behavior you want them to exhibit or show. Any movement toward that behavior is reinforced similar to Big Bang video. Successive approximations: the series of reinforcing toward shaping. https://youtu.be/k2QMnNcDd5k?list=PLkD4keehfWSsfKKk4E1K1Rbx u61ZTHfoAcquistion is the learning or development of a skill. FIGURE 6.10 (a) B. F. Skinner developed operant conditioning for systematic study of how behaviors are strengthened or weakened according to their consequences. (b) In a Skinner box, a rat presses a lever in an operant conditioning chamber to receive a food reward.

What are successive approximations? What is shaping? SCHEDULES OF REINFORCEMENT How you will reinforce to strengthen or weaken a desired behavior. This is not the same as reward. Continuous vs. Partial Reinforcement. Define. Continuous is done after every introduction of the stimulus. Partial is done after partially or sometimes (every 4th time, every 5 minutes). Which is stronger in the long-term? SCHEDULES OF REINFORCEMENT • Types of Reinforcement Schedules. • schedule of reinforcement • in ratio schedules, reinforcement after a number of responses; the ratio used may be fixed or variable • in interval schedules, reinforcers for the first response made after a given interval (or time frame such as every 5 minutes) since the last reinforcement; this interval can be fixed or variable These schedules can be FIXED or VARIABLE. SCHEDULES OF REINFORCEMENT SCHEDULES OF REINFORCEMENT In Action https://youtu.be/JA96Fba-WHk FIGURE 6.11 Sticker charts are a form of positive reinforcement and a tool for behavior modification. Once this little girl earns a certain number of stickers for demonstrating a desired behavior, she will be rewarded with a trip to the ice cream parlor. (credit: Abigail Batchelder) FIGURE 6.12 Time-out is a popular form of negative punishment used by caregivers. When a child misbehaves, he or she is removed from a desirable activity in an effort to decrease the unwanted behavior. For example, (a) a child might be playing on the playground with friends and push another child; (b) the child who misbehaved would then be removed from the activity for a short period of time. (credit a: modification of work by Simone Ramella; credit b: modification of work by “JefferyTurner”/Flickr) FIGURE 6.13 The four reinforcement schedules yield different response patterns. The variable ratio schedule is unpredictable and yields high and steady response rates, with little if any pause after reinforcement (e.g., gambler). A fixed ratio schedule is predictable and produces a high response rate, with a short pause after reinforcement (e.g., eyeglass saleswoman). The variable interval schedule is unpredictable and produces a moderate, steady response rate (e.g., restaurant manager). The fixed interval schedule yields a scallop-shaped response pattern, reflecting a significant pause after reinforcement (e.g., surgery patient). FIGURE 6.14 Some research suggests that pathological gamblers use gambling to compensate for abnormally low levels of the hormone norepinephrine, which is associated with stress and is secreted in moments of arousal and thrill.

KNOW the chart! SCHEDULES OF REINFORCEMENT SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY Albert Bandura. Synopsis: People learn through observing other people’s behavior or what is modelled. Integration of behavioral learning theory and a cognitive learning theory (different processes in learning can be explained by analyzing mental processed first). SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY 4 requirements for learning: observing, retaining, reproducing, and motivation. https://youtu.be/-_U-pSZwHy8?list=PLqr46jOSoOwYdAOJHUHS4bhuY6G08sub FIGURE 6.15 Psychologist Edward Tolman found that rats use cognitive maps to navigate through a maze. Have you ever worked your way through various levels on a video game? You learned when to turn left or right, move up or down. In that case you were relying on a cognitive map, just like the rats in a maze.

VARIETIES OF LEARNING •Evidence suggests animals are biologically prepared to learn certain relations more readily than others. •Similar effects occur in instrumental conditioning. • Some responses are more readily strengthened by some reinforcers than others.
