3 Vocabulary Learning- a relatively permanent behavior change due to experience Associative Learning- linking two events that occur close together (ex: cussing and getting popped on the arm by mother) Conditioning- the process of learning these associations Classical Conditioning- learn to associate two stimuli and anticipate events (ex: lightening and loud clap of thunder- you associate these together, so when you see the lightening you prepare for the thunder)

4 LEARNING

5 How do we learn? Most learning is associative learning Learning that certain events occur together.

6 Three Main Types of Learning Classical Conditioning Operant Conditioning Observational Learning

7 Conditioning Learning to associate two stimuli with each other.

10 Classical Conditioning It all started with: Ivan Pavlov

11 AND his dogs.

12 Pavlov always fed his dogs at the same time. He realized that as soon as they saw him come in the room, they would start drooling. (Instead of just drooling when they had the food in front of them.) He said WHOA! They ve LEARNED to ASSOCIATE me with food and their BODIES are INVOLUNTARILY responded to me just like they would to food. He decided to see if he could CONDITION them to respond to other things in the same way.

13 After Conditioning Before Conditioning Classical Conditioning Diagram Dogs naturally drool when food is placed in front of them. Pavlov conditioned his dogs to drool when they heard a bell ringing. Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) Unconditioned Response (UCR) Conditioned Stimulus Conditioned Response

14 Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response. Unconditional Response (UCR): the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the UCS.

15 Conditioned Stimulus (CS): an originally irrelevant (neutral) stimulus that, after association with the UCS, comes to trigger a response. Conditioned Response (CR): the learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.

18 Two Examples of Classical Conditioning Classically Conditioning my roommate UCS UCR NS CS CR Classically Conditioning Dwight UCS UCR NS CS CR

19 Work with a partner to complete the Classical Conditioning Worksheet 15 minutes End

20 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

21 5 Elements of Classical Acquisition Conditioning Extinction Spontaneous Recovery Generalization Discrimination

22 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 (1/2-1 second) They should be very close together in timing.

23 Extinction The diminishing of a conditioned response. Will eventually happen when the UCS does not follow the CS. (They will stop associating the tone with the food if the tone is not followed by food repeatedly) Is extinction permanent?

24 Spontaneous Recovery The reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response. A real life example. Imagine that you have a significant other and EVERYTIME you are together they have on a particular cologne/perfume. You will think of them and feel lovey each time you spell it. TEN YEARS LATER, you randomly smell that cologne and you all of a sudden are missing that person and feeling lovey towards them.

25 Generalization The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the CS to elicit similar responses. Ex: A toddler is abused by a man wearing red gloves. Now any time she sees someone in red clothing, she gets scared. A cigarette smoking high school student always smokes after the bell rings for dismissal. Now, anytime they hear a bell their body craves a cigarette.

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

27 John Watson Applied Pavlov s experiment to humans Father of Behaviorism Wanted to show that our emotions and behaviors were just conditioned responses

28 Little Albert Experiment 11 month old baby Feared loud noises Watson conditioned him to associate white rats with the loud noise Eventually, he feared the white rat Albert generalized this into a fear of anything white and furry
