  1. Learning Theory Basics I. Classical or Associative Learning A. The Model

  2. Unconditioned Stimulus Unconditioned Response Meat Salivation

  3. Unconditioned Stimulus Unconditioned Response Meat Salivation Bell Conditioned Stimulus

  4. Unconditioned Stimulus Unconditioned Response Meat Salivation Bell Conditioned Stimulus

  5. Unconditioned Stimulus Unconditioned Response Meat Salivation Bell Conditioned Stimulus Conditioned Response NOTE: CR is NOT the same as the UCR

  6. Salivation Conditioned Response Bell Conditioned Stimulus

  7. Learning Theory Basics I. Classical or Associative Learning A. The Model B. The propositions

  8. 1. Stimulus Discrimination: A response can be conditioned to a unique CS. 2. Stimulus Generalization: Stimuli similar to CS may produce the same CR

  9. 3. Prepotency The more intense the CS, the more rapid the conditioning. 4. Recency: The more recent a CR, the more likely the CS will elicit the same CR.

  10. 5. Frequency: The more frequently a CS - CR link occurs, the more likely it will continue to occur. BUT,

  11. 6. Extinction: A CR can be weakened and may disappear if: 1. The CS is repeated and weak. 2. The CS is frequent and regular Also called a fatigue response 3. The CR is inhibited or prevented

  12. II. Operant Conditioning A. The Model

  13. Stimulus Responses Reinforcement Moral Outrage Sexual Excitement Fashion Dress Attention & Immediacy Sense of Respect Obnoxious derision

  14. Reinforcement is defined as a consequence that follows an operant response that increases (or attempts to increase) the likelihood of that response occurring in the future. Positive reinforcement – Any event following an operant response that increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring again under the same circumstances Negative Reinforcement -- the removal of an aversive stimulus. Punishment – Any event following an operant response that decreases the likelihood of that response occurring in the future. Positive Punishment – pain or threat of pain (aversive stimulus) Negative Punishment – removal of an anticipated reinforcement
