Learning
Learning: Definition
 A relatively permanent change
in behavior brought about by
experience
 Distinguishes between
changes due to maturation
and changes brought about by
experience
 Distinguishes between shortterm changes in performance
and actual learning
3 Types of Learning
 Learning through association - Classical Conditioning
 Learning through consequences – Operant
Conditioning
 Learning through observation – Modeling/
Observational Learning
Classical Conditioning
 Type of learning discovered by
Ivan Pavlov in which a neutral
stimulus comes to bring about a
response after it is paired with a
stimulus that naturally brings
about that response
Classical Conditioning
A stimulus that, before
conditioning,does not naturally bring
about the response of interest
A stimulus that brings about a
response without having been
learned
Classical Conditioning
A natural, innate response that is
not associated with previous
learning
Classical Conditioning
A NS that has been paired with a
UCS to bring about a response
formerly caused only by the UCS
A response that, after
conditioning, follows a
previously neutral stimulus

After Conditioning
Classical Conditioning
 Extinction
 Occurs when a previously
conditioned response
decreases in frequency and
eventually disappears
 Spontaneous recovery
 The re-emergence of an
extinguished conditioned
response after a period of rest
Classical Conditioning
 Stimulus generalization
 Occurs when a conditioned
Conditioned Stimulus
response follows a stimulus that
is similar to the original
conditioned stimulus
New Stimulus
 Stimulus discrimination
 Ability to differentiate
between stimuli

Operant Conditioning
 Operant Conditioning
 Learning in which a voluntary
response is strengthened or
weakened, depending on its
favorable or unfavorable
consequences
 Law of effect
 Responses that lead to satisfying
consequences are more likely to
be repeated, and responses
followed by negative outcomes
are less likely to be repeated

Operant Conditioning
 Reinforcement
 The process by which a
stimulus increases the
probability that a preceding
behavior will be repeated
 Reinforcer
 Any stimulus that increases
the probability that a
preceding behavior will occur
again
Operant Conditioning
 Primary reinforcer
 Satisfies some biological need
and works naturally,
regardless of a person’s prior
experience
 Secondary reinforcer
 A stimulus that becomes
reinforcing because of its
association with a primary
reinforcement
Positive Reinforcers, Negative
Reinforcers, and Punishment
 Positive Reinforcement
 A stimulus added to the
environment that brings about an
increase in a preceding response
 Negative
reinforcement
 Unpleasant stimulus
whose removal from
the environment
leads to an increase in
the probability that a
preceding response
will occur again in the
future
 Escape conditioning
 Avoidance
conditioning
Punishment
 Stimulus that decreases the
probability that a prior
behavior will occur again
 Positive punishment weakens
a response through the
application of an unpleasant
stimulus
 Negative punishment consists
of the removal of something
pleasant
Schedules of Reinforcement
 Continuous reinforcement
 Behavior that is reinforced
every time it occurs
 Partial reinforcement
 Behavior that is reinforced
some but not all of the time
Schedules of Reinforcement
 Fixed-ratio schedule
 Reinforcement is given only
after a certain number of
responses
 Variable-ratio schedule
 Reinforcement occurs after a
varying number of responses
rather than after a fixed
number
Schedules of Reinforcement
 Fixed-interval schedule
 Provides reinforcement for a
response only if a fixed time
period has elapsed, overall rates
of response are relatively low
 Variable-interval schedule
 Time between reinforcements
varies around some average
rather than being fixed

Operant Conditioning
 Stimulus Control Training
 Behavior is reinforced in the
presence of a specific
stimulus, but not in its
absence
 Discriminative stimulus
 Signals the likelihood that
reinforcement will follow the
response

Stimulus generalization
Operant Conditioning
 Superstitious behavior
 Shaping
 Process of teaching a complex
behavior by rewarding closer
and closer approximations of
the desired behavior
 Biological constraints
 Built-in limitations in the
ability of animals to learn
particular behaviors
Cognitive-Social Approaches to
Learning
 Latent learning
 A new behavior is learned but
not demonstrated until
reinforcement is provided for
displaying it
 Observational learning
 Learning through observing the
behavior of another person
called a model
Learning and Memory Linked
• Learning relies on memory.
 Learning requires the storage and retrieval of information.
• Memory relies on learning.
 An individual’s established
knowledge base provides a
structure of past learning.
 Incoming data attaches to that
structure though association.
Explain how you have learned something by
associating it with what you already knew.
