Definition of learning
Permanent (دائم) changes (تغير) in behavior that result from past experience ( سابقة (خبرات
Types of learning Classical conditioning Operant conditioning
Classical conditioning (Pavlovian conditioning)
A child exposed to a hamster mouse (CS)…nothing happens, and then the hamster is paired (associated) with a loud noise (UCS) so the baby cries (UCR). After several times, the mouse (CS) alone makes the baby cry (CR), and the CR is generalized to all furry animals.
An originally meaningless (gives no response) stimulus: conditioned stimulus (CS) evokes a new response (CR) after pairing (association) with a natural stimulus :unconditioned stimulus (UCS).
UCS normally evokes that response : unconditioned response (UCR)
Stages of classical conditioninig:
1) Acquisition (إكتساب): Gradual formation of an association
between the CS & UCS 2) Extinction (إنقراض) is eliminating the learned response3) Spontaneous recovery التعافى
((التلقائى Weak return of response after
sometime without repeated exposure.
4) Stimulus generalization response: originally conditioned to one specific stimulus occurs when similar stimuli are presented
5) Stimulus discrimination : learning to respond to a specific stimulus among several stimuli
Biological preparedness:
Learning may be influenced by genetic tendencies eg. Pholra and conditioned taste aversion
Operant conditioning: Repeating behaviors with
desirable consequences of stopping those with undesirable ones.
Operant conditioning processes = reinforcement principle :
Acquisition: increase in response frequency repeated reinforcement
Shaping: successes approximations make response more correct e.g. teaching by paents, improving task performance in adults.
Out shaping: shaping without reinforcement e.g. superstitious behavior
Extinction: stopping the reinforce the acquired behavior decrease
Spontaneous recovery: stop stimulus then acquire the same context the acquired response return spontaneously.
Stimulus control discrimination and generalization
e.g. children in a party talk loudly in classroom does happen.
Reinforcement: using an object on event that increases the
probability of a response1)Preening reinforces has direct relation to
biological e.g. food2)Secondary reinforces those associated with
primary reinforces .3)Continues reinforcement: rewards given after
each response4)Partial reinforcement: rewarding some correct
response (more powerful than Continues) e.g. swimming, riding bicycles, fishing
Schedules of peuteal reinforcement:
1)Ratio schedule Number of correct responses
emitted by the subject e.g. every and eight response
a. fixed ratio: eg. Every response.
b. Variable ratio :a random variation
of the ratio.
2)Interval schedule Follows a response that occurs
after a specified period.a. Fixed interval: time period constant e.g. time
between breakfast and lunchb. Variable interval: A range of variable intervals
around .. average stable response
Reinforcement
1) Positive one : giving pleasure or satisfaction e.g. money praise
2) Negative one …. Displeasure or dissatisfaction e.g. if you confess no punishment.
3) Punishment decrease reinforcement of should not be hash negative punishment withdraw a pleasant stimulus e.g. taking away the T.V.
Examples of reinforcement:
Escape learning in response to unpleasant stimulus or negative reinforcement.
Avoidance learning. The acquired response prevents
an aversive stimulus] e.g. child stops playing on
hearing his father footsteps to avoid blaming
Learned helplessness: the subject dose not attempt to escape from a previous similar situation that escape is not possible- once it is acquired it is difficult to overcome
e.g. of operant conditioning: behavior modification in parenting education and psychiatric therapies
Cognitive factors in learning
Cognitive map: Latent learning: Cognitive elements in classical
conditioning Insight learning Observational learning (social
learning modeling)
Cognitive factors in learning
1) Cognitive map: a mental representation of the
place and becomes increasingly accurate by experience e.g the sky, towns etc
2) Latent learning: Learning is not apparent when it
takes place, but when rewards are introduced learning become manifest .
3) Cognitive elements in classical conditioning
a. Stimulus information: if we associate tone with shock to a rat, tone fear add light to tone shock, light alone no fear stimulus information predict the shock (tone blocked the association of light)
b. Rule generation: when two unexpected events such as light and shock occur together, the rat begins to generate the rule that shock follows light and further pairing strengthen that rule
4) Insight learninga. A process of problem solving.
Solutions are tried out and rejected without any actual behavior being displayed.
b. The final solution in memory where it is available for retrieval later on
5) Observational learning (social learning modeling)
a. Attention: attend to the model to learn by observation.
b. Retention: material learned must be stored in memory.
c. Reproduction of what was learned accurately
d. Motivation.
