Unit 6: Learning What is learning? Learning: The process of acquiring new and relatively enduring information or behaviors. How Do We Learn? Associative learning: certain events occur together. Classical Conditioning: Associate 2 stimuli together and anticipate events. Operant Conditioning: Associate a response and its consequence How Do We Learn? Cognitive learning: acquisition of mental learning Observational learning Lets us learn from others experience ex. Vicarious Experience in athletics Through language I. Classical Conditioning I. Classical Conditioning A. Ivan Pavlov Medical degree Russia’s 1st Nobel prize in 1904 30 years studying Psychology Classical Conditioning Stimulus-Response Relationship Stimulus-Response Relationship Parts of Classical Conditioning Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) a stimulus that unconditionally – naturally and automatically – triggers a response. Example: Food in mouth Parts of Classical Conditioning Unconditioned response (UCR) the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus Example: Salivation when food is in mouth Parts of Classical Conditioning Neutral stimulus (NS) The conditioned stimulus BEFORE conditioning actually takes place. Example: Bell, light, object, touch Parts of Classical Conditioning Conditioned stimulus (CS) an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response. Tone of the bell Parts of Classical Conditioning Conditioned response (CR) the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS). Example: Salivation when tone present Pavlov’s Experiments Classical Conditioning Pavlov’s Experiments Acquisition In CC: the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In OC: the strengthening of a reinforced response. Pavlov’s Experiments Higher Order Conditioning Procedure in which the CS in one conditioning experience is paired with a new NS. Creates a second (often weaker) CS. Examples? Pavlov’s Experiments Extinction and Spontaneous Recovery Extinction: The diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in CC when an US does not follow a CS; occurs in OC when a response is no longer reinforced. Pavlov’s Experiments Extinction and Spontaneous Recovery Spontaneous recovery: the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response. Pavlov’s Experiments Generalization Generalization: the tendency to respond to stimuli that is similar to the CS. Pavlov’s Experiments Discrimination Discrimination in CC, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus. Pavlov’s Legacy E. Applications of Classical Conditioning John Watson and Baby Albert Little Albert 11-month-old infant Watson and his assistant, Rosalie Rayner, conditioned Albert to be frightened of white rats Hammer on steel bar Led to questions about experimental ethics Little Albert – During Conditioning Little Albert - Generalization Research? What is your psychological research example… What is your US What is your UR What is your NS What is your CS What is your CR I. Classical Conditioning B. John B. Watson Behaviorism: View that psychology: #1: Should be an objective science #2: Studies behavior without reference to mental processes How we respond to stimuli in our environment with no regard to thoughts, feelings and motives. Most psychologists today agree with #1 but not with #2. II. Operant Conditioning B. B. F. Skinner College English major/aspiring writer Graduate school for Psychology Modern Behaviorisms most influential and controversial figure Work elaborated on “the law of effect” Operant conditioning: a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcement or diminished if followed by a punishment. A. Edward Thorndike’s “Law of Effect” Behaviors with favorable consequences will occur more frequently. Behaviors with unfavorable consequences will occur less frequently. Created puzzle boxes for research on cats Thorndike’s Puzzle Box Operant Chamber (Skinner Box) Containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforcer; attached devices record the animal’s rate of bar pressing or key pecking. Shaping Behavior Shaping: procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior. Discriminative stimulus: a stimulus that elicits a response after association with reinforcement (in contrast to related stimuli not associated with reinforcement). In everyday life we continually reward and shape others’ behavior, often doing so unintentionally. Ben: Could you tie my shoes? Dad: (Continues to read the paper) Ben: Dad, I need my shoes tied. Dad: Uh-hu, yeah, wait just a minute. Ben: DAAAAD, TIE MY SHOES! Dad: How many times have I told you not to whine? Now give me your shoe… Ben’s whining is reinforced because he gets something desirable, his dad’s attention Dad’s response is reinforced because he gets rid of something aversive, Ben’s whining. Skinner’s Experiments C. Parts of Operant Con.- 1. Reinforcer: any event that strengthens the behavior it follows. Types of Reinforcers Positive reinforcement: increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli Any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response. Examples? Types of Reinforcers Negative reinforcement: increases behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, Any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens the response (Note: negative reinforcement is NOT punishment). Examples? Skinner’s Experiments Types of Positive Reinforcers Primary reinforcer: Something that is naturally reinforcing Examples: food, warmth, water, etc. Skinner’s Experiments Types of Reinforcers Conditioned/ Secondary reinforcer: Something that a person has learned to value or finds rewarding because it is paired with a primary reinforcer. Skinner’s Experiments Reinforcement Concepts Immediate vs. Delayed reinforcer Immediate reinforcement is more effective than delayed reinforcement Rat does the correct deed and miss it… Ability to delay gratification predicts higher achievement Paycheck at the end of the week… 2 Main Types of Reinforcement Schedules Skinner’s Experiments Reinforcement Schedules Continuous reinforcement: Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs. Most useful way to establish a behavior. Extinguish quickly once reinforcement stops. Examples? Skinner’s Experiments Reinforcement Schedules Partial (intermittent) reinforcement Reinforcing a response only part of the time Initial learning is slower Greater resistance to extinction Examples? Skinner’s Experiments Reinforcement Schedules Skinner’s Experiments Reinforcement Schedules Fixed-ratio schedule Reinforces a response only after a specific number of responses. Faster the subject responds, the more reinforcements they will receive. Examples? Skinner’s Experiments Reinforcement Schedules Variable-ratio schedule Reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses. This schedule is very resistant to extinction. Examples? Skinner’s Experiments Reinforcement Schedules Fixed-interval schedule Reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed. Examples? Skinner’s Experiments Reinforcement Schedules Variable-interval schedule reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals. Slow, steady responding. Examples? Skinner’s Experiments 2 Main Parts of Operant Conditioning 2. Punishment: an event that decreases the behavior that it follows. Positive punishment Administer an aversive stimulus A behavior is followed by an undesirable event Negative punishment Withdraw a desirable stimulus Behavior ends a desirable event Skinner’s Experiments Punishment Skinner’s Experiments Punishment Negatives of using punishment behavior is suppressed not forgotten teaches discrimination can teach fear, anxiety and lower self-esteem Physical punishment may increase aggression Skinner’s Experiments Punishment Positives of using punishment Can effectively control certain behaviors. Teaching to NOT do a dangerous behavior Most still suggest reinforcing an incompatible behavior rather than using punishment Extending Skinner’s Understanding Cognition and Operant Conditioning Latent learning: Learning that takes place in absence of an apparent reward Cognitive map Mental representation of the layout of one’s environment. Rats after exploring a maze. Extending Skinner’s Understanding Cognition and Operant Conditioning Insight learning a sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem. Extending Skinner’s Understanding Cognition and Operant Conditioning Intrinsic Motivation a desire to perform a behavior effectively for its own sake. Extending Skinner’s Understanding Cognition and Operant Conditioning Extrinsic Motivation a desire to perform a behavior to receive promised rewards or avoid threatened punishment. Contrasting Classical and Operant Conditioning III. Learning by Observation Introduction Observational learning: learning by observing Social learning Modeling: the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior. Mirrors in the Brain Mirror neurons: frontal lobe neurons that fire when: performing certain actions when observing another doing something The brain’s mirroring of another’s action may enable imitation and empathy. Bandura’s Experiments Albert Bandura Bobo doll We look and we learn Bandura’s Experiments Applications of Observational Learning Prosocial vs Antisocial Effects Prosocial effects: positive, constructive, helpful behavior. The opposite of antisocial behavior. Antisocial effects The End
