Conditioning type of learning that involves stimulus-response connections Learning

I. Classical Conditioning

• Adapting to the Environment using CC
• Taste Aversions
• Learned response to a particular food
• One-trial learning
• Extinction
• Disappearance of conditioned response when unconditioned stimulus no longer follows conditioned stimulus

I. Classical Conditioning

• Adaptation to Environment
• Spontaneous Recovery  Reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after some time has passed
• Generalization  The tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics
• Discrimination  The act of responding differently to stimuli that are not similar to each other

Review

• The type of learning that involves stimulus-response connections is called?
• A Learning by example
• B Classical
• C Conditioning
• D Operant
• A stimulus that causes a response that is automatic is known as which of the following?
• A Unconditioned stimulus
• B Unconditioned response
• C Conditioned response
• D Conditioned stimulus

II. Operant Conditioning

• Psychologist B.F. Skinner was a pioneer in the research of Operant Conditioning
• Operant Conditioning depends on the use of reinforcements and a schedule to execute them
• Operant conditioning is when people and animals learn through the consequences of their behavior

II. Operant Conditioning

• The principles of operant conditioning can be applied to help people or animals learn to combine a series of simple steps or actions to form complex behaviors
• Operant conditioning will occur when people or animals have learned to respond to a certain situation

II. Operant Conditioning

• During Operant Conditioning people learn to continue or eliminate behaviors based on what happens after the behavior
• People learn from the consequences of their actions
• Voluntary responses are conditioned
