from behavioral (observable standpoint
psychologists who study learning a

describe
learning as stable observable
changes in behavior since behaviorism
doesn't look at what is
going on inside the person's head (thought &
process
internal debates/struggles . behaviorism also maintains the same ideas &

principles between humans & animals (monkeys ,
cats ,
etc)
ty pes of learning
-
:



↳ associative
learning
organism makes association/connection
between 2 events which leads to

conditioning (process of learning these associations)
2 types of conditioning
-


I classical
conditioning
association between I stimuli which leads to learningto anticipate
these events
ex .
we
lightening anticipate thunder
↳ operant
conditioning
association between behavior &
consequence/reward which leads to

increasing behaviors that are followed by rewards ,
vice versa

ex .

studying harder - higher test score
& observational learning
organism observes & imitates anothers' behavior It's diff from associative .




because it relies on muntal processes (pay attention remember reproduce , ,


observational especially important for humans because it's the main
is way
that infants learn human infants rely more heavily on imitation
.




than baby monkeys. after watching a model preform a task,
the monkey will figure out its own way to do it but the infant
will copy the model exactly

, 6 2 . classical conditioning
2 stimuli that leads to
classical
conditioning
to anticipate these events.
: association between
learning
Neutral stimulus becomes associated with a



meaningful stimulus & elicits a similar response

ex .
Bob is in the shower when his wife flushes the toilet & the water
burns him , he learns to step
. next time out of the water when she

flushes. neutral stimulus (sound of toilet flushing) becomes associated
stimulus (pain from hot water * elicits a similar
with a
meaningful
response (panic

Karlov's
studies
he was studying digestion would put meat powder in their mouths which
with
dogs
&

caused them to drool Parlov noticed this but it wasn't.


just the food that
them brought
made salivate; the door
opening/closing when food was & the sight
of the people who the food also caused the
brought same response the dog's .




association of these with food is classical This behavior was from
things conditioning .




both learnedI unlearned components the unlearned part .
is from reflexes that
are inborn/innate.
·
unconditioned Stimulus (US) -



stimulus that produces response without prior
learning
·
unconditioned response (UR) -


unlearned reaction that is automatic response to US
.
UR are involuntary .(dog's drooling in response to food is UR) reflex
·

conditioned stimulus (CS) -


stimulus that used to be neutral but eventually elicits a


conditioned response after being paired with US.
conditioned response (CR) learned response to CS that happens after CS-US
pairing CR
