Classical Conditioning, Operant Conditioning, and Observational
Learning
LEARNING
INTRO TO LEARNING & CLASSICAL
CONDITIONING
INTRO INTO LEARNING
INTRO INTO LEARNING

Humans are not born with a genetic layout for
life
 Learning
gives us flexibility
 Adaptability- to cope with
changing circumstances.
INTRO INTO LEARNING
 If
it can be learned then it is teachable.
 Agree/Disagree?

Can change occur if new patterns are taught?
 Agree/Disagree?
INTRO INTO LEARNING

Learning: a relatively permanent change in an
organism’s behavior due to experience
 Three
types of learning
 Classical
Conditioning
 Operant Conditioning
 Observational/Social Learning
INTRO INTO LEARNING

How do we learn?
 Aristotle:
We learn by association
 Learned

associations feed routine behaviors
Repeating behaviors in a certain context lead those behaviors to
be associated with the contexts
INTRO INTO LEARNING

More on association:
“And to the Republic, for which it stands, one
nation…”
 What is the line that came before this?

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United
States of America.”
 “And to the Republic, for which it stands, one
nation…”

INTRO INTO LEARNING

Associate Learning: learning that certain events
occur together. The events may be two stimuli
or a response and its consequence
INTRO INTO LEARNING

Conditioning is the process of learning
associations
 Classical
conditioning: learn to associate 2 stimuli
and we can anticipate events
 Operant conditioning: learn to associate a response
and its consequences
 Repeat
acts followed by rewards and avoid acts that
result in punishment.
CLASSICAL
learn to associate 2 stimuli and we can
anticipate events
OPERANT
learn to associate a response and its
consequences
INTRO INTO LEARNING

Conditioning is not the only type of learning
 Observational
experience
Learning- learn from others
CLASSICAL
CONDITIONING
Conditioning is learned through association.
 Classical Conditioning is a learning process in
which associations are made between a
neutral stimulus and an unconditioned
stimulus.

 it
is sometimes called “reflexive learning”

No one developed Classical Conditioning
 Ivan
Pavlov is credited with discovering it.
 Started off as a biologist in Russia
 First Russian to receive the Nobel Prize
 Began to study
why dogs drool
even though
no food present.
PAVLOV’S EXPERIMENT
UCS= UNCONDITIONAL STIMULUS

An event that elicits a certain predictable
response typically without previous training.
 Food
normally causes salivation- a dog does not
have to be taught to salivate when it smells meat.
UCR= UNCONDITIONED RESPONSE

An organisms automatic/natural response to
stimulus
 This
is a reflex
NS= NEUTRAL STIMULUS

Stimulus that does not initially elicit any part of
an UCR (unconditional response)
 Tuning
fork or bell before used in experiment
CS= CONDITIONED STIMULUS

A once-neutral event that elicits a given
response after a period of training in which it
has been paired with an UCS (unconditioned
stimulus)
 Salivation
of a
dog was a natural
occurrence until
trained to do so
when hears a bell.
CR= CONDITIONAL RESPONSE

Learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus
 Salivation
of a dog was a natural occurrence until
trained to do so when hears a bell. That salivation
is the conditional response.
SXZZZZZZ NJNN3
MAGIC FORMULA
 UCS
(food)=UCR (salivation)
 NS (Bell)+UCS(food)=UCR (salivation)
 CS (Bell)=CR (salivation)
IMPORTANCE OF CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

Classical conditioning is involved in many of
our behaviors

wherever stimuli are paired together over time
we come to react to one of them as if the
other were present


a particular song is played and you immediately
think of a particular romantic partner
you smell cinnamon and you immediately think of
Christmas
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

Some pointers on effective conditioning




NS and UCS pairings must not be more than about 1/2
second apart for best results
Repeated NS/UCS pairings are called “training trials”
Presentations of CS without UCS pairings are called
“extinction trials”
Intensity of UCS effects how many training trials are
necessary for conditioning to occur
Generalization – Learning on stimulus A
changes behavior regarding stimulus B
Discrimination – Learning on stimulus A
doesn’t change behavior regarding stimulus B
Extinction – Loss of learned behavior after
training stops
Spontaneous Recovery – Exhibiting learned
behavior after extinction has occurred.
ASSIGNMENT
In pairs create a storyboard to illustrate the
steps in the classical conditioning experiment
performed by Pavlov. The storyboard should
include both drawings and captions that
pertain to the three phases of classical
conditioning (before, during, and after training).
 Use your notes and page 243 for further help.

IDENTIFY THE UCS, UCR, NS, CR, AND CS &
PLACE IN MAGIC FORMULA.
The nurse says “Now this won’t hurt a bit” just
before stabbing you with a needle. The next
time you hear “This won’t hurt” you cringe in
fear.
 You have a meal at a fast food restaurant that
causes food poisoning. The next time you see a
sign for that restaurant, you feel nauseous.

OPERANT CONDITIONING

Suppose your dog is wandering around the
neighborhood, sniffing trees, checking garbage
cans, looking for a squirrel to chase. A kind
neighbor sees the dog & tosses a bone out to
it. The next day, the dog is likely to stop at the
same door on its rounds. Your neighbor
produces another bone and another the next
day. Your dog is a regular visitor now.
OPERANT CONDITIONING

B.F. Skinner and Edward Thorndike
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Different from classical conditioning
 Classical
conditioning is respondent behavior
 Behavior
stimuli
that occurs as an automatic response to some
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Operant conditioning is a type of learning in
which behavior is strengthened if followed by a
reinforcement or diminished if followed by a
punisher

Operant behavior: behavior that operates on
the environment, producing consequences
 We
can distinguish if a situation is classical or
operant by asking if the organism learns
association between events:
 Is
the organism learning associations between events
that it does not control (It’s Classical)
 OR
 Is the organism learning associations between its
behavior and resulting events (It’s Operant)
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Operant conditioning works on Thorndike’s law
of effect:
 Principle
that behaviors followed by favorable
consequences become more likely and that
behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences
become less likely
 Rewarded behavior is likely to occur & vice versa.
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Skinner developed the Skinner box, or the
operant chamber
SKINNER BOX
Used to study behavior conditioning by teaching
a subject to perform certain actions (like
pressing a lever) in response to specific stimuli,
like a light or sound signal.
 When the subject correctly performs the
behavior, the chamber mechanism delivers
food or another reward.
 In some cases, the mechanism delivers a
punishment for incorrect or missing responses.

OPERANT CONDITIONING

Shaping: an operant conditioning procedure in
which reinforcers guide behavior closer and
closer to desired behavior
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Reinforcers:
 Any
event that strengthens behavior it follows
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Types:
 Positive
Reinforcement
 Negative Reinforcement
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Positive Reinforcement
 Increasing
behaviors by presenting a positive
stimuli, such as food.
 This should strengthen the response
IDENTIFY IF THE REINFORCEMENT IN THE
SCENARIO IS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.
You avoid talking about the problems between
Israel and Palestine with your roommate,
because it always results in an argument.
 A child is allowed one-half hour of TV time for
each hour she spends doing homework.
 After being sure that the infant's diapers are
dry and that he has been recently fed, a mother
and father ignore the infant's crying at bedtime.

OPERANT CONDITIONING

Negative Reinforcement
 Increasing
behaviors by stopping or reducing
negative stimuli.
 A negative reinforcer is any stimulus that, when
removed after a response, strengthens the
response
THIS
IS NOT PUNISHMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Examples
Taking away an electrical shock
 Pushing your snooze button to stop the alarm
 Taking an aspirin to rid a headache

OPERANT CONDITIONING

Types of reinforcers
 Primary:
 Ex.
meets some biological need
Getting food when hungry
 Conditioned
(secondary): gains reinforcing power
through its association with a primary reinforcer.
 Ex.
Light in the Skinner box
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Punishment
 An
event that decreases the behavior it follows
TYPES OF PUNISHMENT

Positive Punishment: Physical Punishment
 Ex.

Spanking
Negative Punishment: Removal of a pleasant
stimulus
 Ex.
Grounding, taking away phone, etc.
OPERANT CONDITIONING

Notes on physical punishment:
 Punished
behavior is suppressed, not forgotten
 9/10
parents of 3-4 year olds spank
 Is spanking abuse or punishment?
 Punishment
teaches discrimination
 Can’t
swear at home, but can get away with it at my
friend’s house!!!
 Punishment
can teach fear
 Physical punishment could model aggression as
way to cope with problems
ASSIGNMENT

Create a comic strip. It must include the
following:
 Compare
& Contrast Classical & Operant
Conditioning
 Explain the purpose of the Skinner Box
 Depict aspects of Shaping, Types of Reinforcement
& Punishment
 All key terms above must be defined
How often should one reinforce a behavior?
OPERANT CONDITIONING CONTINUED…
OPERANT CONDITIONING: SCHEDULE OF
REINFORCEMENT

Two schedules of reinforcement:
 Continuous
Reinforcement
 Partial Reinforcement
OPERANT CONDITIONING: SCHEDULE OF
REINFORCEMENT
 Continuous Reinforcement:
 Reinforcing
the desired response every time it
occurs
 Examples
of continuous reinforcement:
Every time Billy raises his hand and answers
a question, he will receive praise.
 Every time Jamie Sue potty’s in the toilet,
she receives a cookie.
 Every time I put $1.00 in the candy machine
and press C7, I get a Butterfinger!

 Extinction
happens quickly once
reinforcement is stopped
OPERANT CONDITIONING: SCHEDULE OF
REINFORCEMENT

Partial (intermittent) reinforcement:
 Reinforcing
a response only part of the time
 Results
in slower acquisition of a response but much
greater resistance to extinction than does continuous
reinforcement

Types of partial reinforcement
 Fixed-ratio
schedules
 Variable-ratio schedules
 Fixed-interval schedules
 Variable-interval schedules
OPERANT CONDITIONING: SCHEDULE OF
REINFORCEMENT

Fixed Ratio Schedules: reinforcement schedule
that reinforces a response only after a specified
number of responses
 Example: for every
the 11th is free
ten slurpee’s that you purchase,
OPERANT CONDITIONING: SCHEDULE OF
REINFORCEMENT

Variable Ratio Schedules: a reinforcement
schedule that reinforces a response only after
an unpredictable number of responses
 Example:
OPERANT CONDITIONING: SCHEDULE OF
REINFORCEMENT

Fixed-Interval schedules: a reinforcement
schedule that reinforces a response only after
a specified time has elapsed
 Example:
OPERANT CONDITIONING: SCHEDULE OF
REINFORCEMENT

Variable Interval Schedules: a response is
rewarded after an unpredictable amount of
time has passed.
 Example:
 Boss
dropping by to check on your progress throughout
the day.
