Classical Conditioning
• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)– A stimulus (an event) that triggers an
unconditioned (involuntary) response.• Examples: food, loud noises, painful stimuli, bursts of
air
![Page 8: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Classical Conditioning
• Unconditioned response (UR)– An unlearned response to an unconditioned
stimulus.• Examples: hunger -> food, jumping ->horror flick,
blinking -> flying objects near eye
![Page 9: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Classical Conditioning
• Conditioned stimulus (CS)– A neutral stimulus (an event) that comes to evoke
a learned response due to being presented shortly before the US.
• Ex: Bell ringing in high school, Fridays!!, Cologne
![Page 10: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Classical Conditioning
• Conditioned response (CR)– A learned response to a classically conditioned
stimulus (CS)• Ex: Salivation of Pavlov’s dog just to the bell, your
mouth watering when you smell warm cookies, smiling when you hear a song that reminds you of someone (or frowning…depending)
![Page 11: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CC Check
• Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the shower becomes very hot and causes the person to jump back. Over time, the person begins to jump back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes.– What is the:– UCS– UCR– Neutral Stimulus/CS– CR?
![Page 12: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Acquisition
The initial stage in classical conditioning. during which association between a
neutral stimulus and a US takes place.
1. Neutral stimulus needs to come before the US for conditioning to occur (most cases).
2. The time between the two stimuli should be about half a second.
![Page 13: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Acquisition
The CS needs to come half a second before
the US to cause acquisition.
![Page 14: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Extinction
When a US (food) does not follow a CS (tone) CR (salivation) starts to decrease
and at some point goes extinct.
![Page 15: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Reinstatement
After a rest period an extinguished CR (salivation) spontaneously recovers and if CS (tone) persists alone becomes extinct
again.
![Page 16: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Stimulus Generalization
Tendency to respond to stimuli similar to CS is called generalization. • “Little Albert”
– Conditioned to fear a white lab rat
– Fear generalized to anything white and furry

17
Stimulus Discrimination
Discrimination is the learned ability to distinguish between a CS and other
stimuli that do not signal a US.
![Page 18: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

1. Alcoholics can be conditioned (aversively) partly reversing their positive-associations with alcohol.
2. A drug (plus its taste) that affects the immune response, can lead the taste to invoke the immune response through classical conditioning.

Operant & Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning forms associations between stimuli (CS and US).
Operant conditioning on the other hand forms association between behaviors and resulting events.
![Page 21: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Operant Conditioning
• Cats in puzzle boxes– Time to escape decreased with practice– Thorndike’s “Law of Effect”
• Responses followed by positive outcomes are repeated, whereas those followed by negative outcomes are not
![Page 22: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Shaping
Operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior closer towards
target behavior through successive approximations.
Method used in training schools
![Page 23: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Types of Reinforcers
![Page 24: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
1. Primary Reinforcer: Innately reinforcing stimulus like food, drink, sex (depending).
2. Conditioned Reinforcer: Is a learned reinforcer. It gets its reinforcing power through its association with primary reinforcer. Ex. Money, praise, good grades, awards, gold stars
Primary & Secondary Reinforcers
![Page 25: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
1. Immediate Reinforcer: A reinforcer that occurs closely to a behavior in time. Rat gets a food pellet for a bar press.
2. Delayed Reinforcer: A reinforcer that is delayed in time for a certain behavior. A paycheck that comes at the end of a week.
Immediate & Delayed Reinforcers
We may be more inclined to engage in small immediate reinforcers (watching TV) than large
delayed reinforcers (Getting A in a course) which requires consistent study.
![Page 26: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Reinforcement Schedules
1. Continuous Reinforcement: Reinforcing the desired response each time it occurs.
2. Partial Reinforcement: Reinforcing a response only part of the time. Though results in slower acquisition in the beginning, shows greater resistance to extinction later on.
![Page 27: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Ratio Schedules
1. Fixed-ratio schedule: Reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses e.g., like piecework pay, “I’m going to count to three.”
2. Variable-ratio schedule: Reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses. Hard to extinguish because of unpredictability, e.g., behaviors like gambling, fishing.
![Page 28: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Interval Schedules
1. Fixed-interval schedule: Reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed e.g., preparing for an exam only when the exam draws close, getting a raise every year and not in between.
2. Variable-interval schedule: Reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals. produces slow steady responding, e.g., pop quiz, boss checking on you

Punishment
![Page 30: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Motivation
Intrinsic Motivation: The desire to perform a behavior for its own sake.
Extrinsic Motivation: The desire to perform a behavior due to promised rewards or threats of punishments.

Applications of Operant Conditioning
Skinner introduced the concept of teaching machines that would shape learning in small steps and provide reinforcements for correct rewards.

earned for exhibiting the desired behavior, for
various privileges or treats.

Latent Learning
Such cognitive maps are based on latent learning, which becomes apparent only when an incentive is given (Tolman &
Honzik, 1930).

Biological Predisposition
Biological constraints predispose
organisms to learn associations that are naturally adaptive.
Breland and Breland (1961) showed that
animals drift towards their biologically
predisposed instinctive behaviors. Marian Breland Bailey

Skinner’s Legacy
Skinner argued that behaviors were shaped by external influences instead of
inner thoughts and feelings. Critics argued that Skinner dehumanized people by
neglecting their free will.

Motivation
Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior
and directs it towards a goal.

Perspectives on Motivation
Four perspectives used to explain motivation include the following:
1. Instinct Theory (replaced by the evolutionary perspective)
2. Drive-Reduction Theory3. Arousal Theory4. Hierarchy of Motives

Instincts & Evolutionary Psychology
Instincts are complex behaviors that have fixed patterns throughout different
species and are not learned (Tinbergen, 1951).

47
Drives and Incentives
When the instinct theory of motivation failed, it was replaced by the drive-
reduction theory. A physiological need creates an aroused tension state (a drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the
need.
![Page 48: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Incentive
Where our needs push, incentives (positive or negative stimuli) pull us in reducing our
drives.
A food-deprived person who smells baking bread(incentive) feels a strong hunger drive.

Optimum Arousal
Human motivation aims to seek optimum levels of arousal, not to eliminate it.
Young monkeys and children are known to explore the environment in the
absence of a need-based drive.

A Hierarchy of Motives
Abraham Maslow (1970) suggested that
certain needs have priority over others. Physiological needs
like breathing, thirst, and hunger come
before psychological needs such as
achievement, self-esteem, and the need
for recognition. (1908-1970)

Hunger
When are we hungry?
When do we eat?
When there is no food in our stomach.
When we are hungry.
How do we know when our stomach is empty?
Our stomach growls. These are also called hunger pangs.
![Page 53: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The Physiology of Hunger
Stomach contractions (pangs) send signals to the brain making us aware of
our hunger.
![Page 54: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Stomachs Removed
Tsang (1938) removed rat stomachs, connected the esophagus to the small
intestines, and the rats still felt hungry (and ate food).
![Page 55: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Body Chemistry & the Brain
Levels of glucose in the blood are monitored by
receptors (neurons) in the stomach,
liver, and intestines. They send signals
to the hypothalamus in
the brain.
Rat Hypothalamus
![Page 56: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Hypothalamic Centers
The lateral hypothalamus (LH) brings on hunger (stimulation). Destroy the LH, and the animal has no interest in eating. The
reduction of blood glucose stimulates orexin in the LH, which leads rats to eat
ravenously.
![Page 57: Learning How does experience affect behaviors and/or attitudes?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d165503460f949ebca3/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Hypothalamic Centers
The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) depresses hunger (stimulation). Destroy the
VMH, and the animal eats excessively.
