What is Behaviorism?

• School of psychology- studies scientifically observable behaviors, not unconscious drives.

• Behaviorists like tabula rasa (blank slate)

• Free will is an illusion.

• Includes classical, operant and social learning theory

John B. Watson

“Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own special world to bring them up in, and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select – doctor, lawyer, merchant-chief, and yes, beggar man or thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors.”

Page 6: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Classical Conditioning

It all started with:

Ivan Pavlov

Page 7: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including
Page 8: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

What is classical conditioning?• When your brain and nervous

system make an association between 2 stimuli (things).

• Example: food and a bell

A song and making out with your “friend”

Page 9: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.

Unconditional Response (UCR): the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the UCS.

Page 10: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Conditioned Response (CR): the learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

Conditioned Stimulus (CS): an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with the UCS, comes to trigger a response.

Come up with your own examples of Classical Conditioning

Page 14: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

What is the Little Albert experiment?

• John Watson classically conditioned a baby to fear a white rat. Then the baby feared all furry things.

Page 15: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including
Page 16: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Pavlov spent the rest of his life outlining his ideas. He came up with 5 critical terms that

together make up classical conditioning.

• Acquisition

• Extinction

• Spontaneous Recovery

• Generalization

• Discrimination

Page 17: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Acquisition• The initial stage of learning.

• The phase where the neutral stimulus is associated with the UCS so that the neutral stimulus comes to elicit the CR (thus becoming the CS).

Does timing matter?

•The CS should come before the UCS

•They should be very close together in timing.

Page 18: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Extinction• The diminishing of a conditioned response.

• Will eventually happen when the UCS does not follow the CS.

Is extinction permanent?

Page 19: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Spontaneous Recovery

• The reappearance. After a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response.

Page 20: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Generalization

• The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the CS to elicit similar responses.

Page 21: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Stimulus Generalization

The Baby was given the rat while Watsonsounded a loud, scary clank.. Now the babyis afraid of all furry things.

Page 22: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including
Page 23: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Discrimination

• The learned ability to distinguish between a CS and other stimuli that does not signal UCS.

Page 24: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

How can we apply classical conditioning?

Page 25: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Applications of Taste Aversion• treating alcoholism, using the

drug Antabuse– causes nausea and violent vomiting

when combined with alcohol– attempts to create a taste aversion to

alcohol

• Problem: alcoholics tend to stop taking Antabuse so they can drink again– but when used properly, Antabuse

does reduce total amount of alcohol consumed (Brewer et al., 2000; Chick et al., 1992)

Page 26: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Applications of Taste Aversion• humane methods of controlling

predators, agricultural pests?– coyotes & wolves ate sheep

carcasses laced with nausea-inducing poison; developed aversion to sheep meat (Gustavson et al., 1974, 1976)

• wolves penned with sheep later seemed to fear it!

– similar results with baboons in African gardens, raccoons attacking chickens, ravens & crows feeding on raven eggs

Page 27: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including
Page 28: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

• Stimulus Discrimination: learning to respond differently to two stimuli because different outcomes follow them.

• A dog may drool to a bell, but not a gong.

Page 29: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Extinction

• If a conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus, then the conditioned response will disappear. This is known as extinction. If a dog learns to associate the sound of a bell with food and then the bell is rung repeatedly, but no food is presented, the dog will soon stop salivating a the sound of the bell.

Page 30: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Conditioned Taste Aversion

• Link a food with illness– CS paired with UR

• Preparedness• Concern for patients

receiving chemotherapy

Page 31: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

The Garcia effect

• People get sick after eating at a restaurant so they won’t eat at that restaurant, even if they know the food was safe.

Page 32: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

• 1. Sara is watching a storm. A bolt of lightening is followed immediately by a huge crash of thunder and makes her jump. This happens several more times. The storm starts to move away and there is a gap between the lightening bolt and the sound of thunder, yet Sara jumps at the lightening bolt.

• What is the:

• UCS

• UCR

• CS

• CR

Page 33: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

• 2. Steve's mouth waters whenever he eats anything with lemon in it. One day, while seeing an advertisement showing lemons, his mouth begins to water.

• What is the:

• UCS

• UCR

• CS

• CR

Page 34: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Operant Conditioning

• Also known as Instrumental Conditioning• Thorndike and his cats• Key difference from Classical

Conditioning: subject’s behavior determines an outcome and is subsequently impacted by that outcome

• Operant generally applies to skeletal muscles, classical to visceral responses

Page 35: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

What is operant conditioning?

• Behaviors are a result of reinforcements and punishments.

• B.F. Skinner is the famous guy.

Page 36: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Edward Thorndike

• Law of Effect: rewarded behavior is likely to recur.

Page 37: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Thorndike’s Puzzle Box• Edward Thorndike (1874-

1949): created a puzzle box: cage with latched door that could only be opened by pressing lever inside– cats became quicker and

quicker to press lever once they figured it out

– Law of Effect: rewarded behaviors are more likely to be repeated

Page 38: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

B.F. Skinner

C’mon gimmie a kiss!

Page 39: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including
Page 40: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

B.F. Skinner

• Most influential behaviorist– Envisioned a utopian society based upon his

theories– Skinner Box – Ping-pong playing and airplane flying pigeons

• Shaping – training with rewards

Page 41: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Skinner Box

Page 42: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

How do you shape behavior?What is shaping?

Shaping is like “training.” You shape or change a behavior through reinforcements and punishments.

Page 43: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Shaping

• A procedure in Operant Conditioning in which reinforcers guide behavior closer and closer towards a goal.

Conditioning

Page 45: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including
Page 46: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Reinforcer• Any event that STRENGTHENS the

behavior it follows.

Two Types of Reinforcement:

Positive and Negative

Page 47: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Reinforcement – increasing desired behavior

– Positive Reinforcement – giving something good to increase a behavior (example?)

– Negative Reinforcement – taking away something bad to increase a behavior (example?)

Page 48: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Punishment – reducing behavior

• - positive punishment giving something bad to reduce a behavior (example?) spanking = aversive stimulus

• - negative punishment – (omission training) taking away something good to reduce a behavior

(example?)

Page 49: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Positive Reinforcement

• Strengthens a response by presenting a stimulus after a response.

Page 50: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Negative Reinforcement

• Strengthens a response by reducing or removing an aversive stimulus.

Page 51: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

The following are examples of what???

Answer choices are positive punishment, negative punishment, positive

reinforcement, negative reinforcement

Page 61: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

• Behaviorists successfully taught a raccoon to deposit wooden coins into a metal container for food reinforcement. But soon the raccoon started rubbing the coins together and dipping them (not dropping them) into the container. It was performing the motor program raccoons use to "wash" food in a stream. This interfered with the trick to such an extent the Brelands had to give up on it. Instead, they trained the raccoon to "play basketball." The basketball was so large that the raccoon did not attempt to wash it.

Page 62: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Reinforcement Schedules

Page 63: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Continuous Reinforcement

• Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs.

Quick Acquisition

Quick Extinction

Page 64: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Partial Reinforcement

• Reinforcing a response only part of the time.

• The acquisition process is slower.

• Greater resistance to extinction.

Page 65: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Fixed-ratio Schedules

• A schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses.

Example: I give cookie monster a cookie every FIVE times he sings “C is for cookie”.

Page 66: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Variable-ratio Schedule

• A schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses.

Example: I give Homer a donut at random times when he says “DOH!!!”

Page 67: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Fixed-interval Schedule• A schedule of

reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed.

Example: I give Bart a Butterfinger every ten minutes after he moons someone.

Page 68: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Variable-interval Schedule• A schedule of

reinforcement that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals.

Pop Quizzes

Page 69: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Schedules of Reinforcement• early Skinnerian experiments used

continuous reinforcement: reinforcing the desired behavior every time it occurs– partial reinforcement:

reinforcement given only intermittently

– continuous leads to faster initial learning...

• ...but partial is more resistant to extinction

• ...and continuous reinforcement only happens sometimes in real world

Page 70: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Schedules of Reinforcement

• Continuous Reinforcement – give treat every time

• Fixed-ratio schedule – fixed # of responses determines reinforcement. Rapid and steady response rate with pause after reward (ex. Pigeon gets food after every 3 pecks)

• Variable-ratio schedule – steady response rate (give dog treat unpredictably)

Page 71: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

More Schedules – Interval Training

• Fixed-interval schedule – reinforcement is based upon the passage of time. Pause after reward and then an ever increasing rate of response

• Variable-interval schedule – slow but steady response rate

Page 72: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

What is Social Learning Theory?

• Albert Bandura: Bobo doll. We learn by observing the behavior of others and from imagining the consequences of our own behavior.

Page 73: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Social Learning Theory Cont.

• Modeling: we imitate people who we– Resemble– Identify with– View as successful

• Vicarious Reinforcement and Punishment

Page 74: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including
Page 75: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

Bobo doll experiment

• Albert Bandura allowed children to watch an adult play with a bobo doll.

• The experimental group watched a video of an adult playing violently with the doll

• The control group watched a boring video.

• The experimental group children imitated the violent behavior.

Page 76: Learning Stolen by Coach B. from many sources including

• Insight Learning: This is an extension of the term, insight which was identified by Wolfgang Kohler while studying the behavior of chimpanzees. He said that insight learning is a type of learning or problem solving that happens all-of-a-sudden through understanding the relationships of various parts of a problem rather than through trial and error.

Sultan, one of Kohler's chimpanzes, learned to use a stick to pull bananas from outside of his cage by putting pieces of stick together. Given two sticks that could be fitted together to make a single pole that was long enough to reach the bananas, aligned the sticks and in a flash of sudden inspiration, fitted the two sticks together and pulled in the bananas. He didn't do this by trial and error, but had a sort of sudden inspiration or insight.
