Classical Conditioningb. Operant ConditioningCurrent LectureCLASSICAL CONDITIONING1. You start with two things that are innately connected with each other2. You add a third thing for several trials3. Eventually, the third thing becomes associated with the scenario and now has the power to produce an old behavior.4. Remember…3 Things Necessary for CC Occur1. An initially neutral stimulus – CS (e.g. bell)2. A stimulus that reliably elicits a response – US (e.g. food)3. Contiguity: Nearness if TIME and SPACE of the CS and USThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.WHO CARES: Why is CC important?Everyday Classical Conditioning1. Survival of a species Associating a roar with a tiger and fear, fear is caused by seeing tiger2. Pets Opening of fridge door and getting food eventually gets associated with food over time in the mind of your pet3. Advertising Beer ads with sexual interests in them (woman in swimsuit) cause arousal when men arebuying beer Beer ads with sexual interests in them (man working out) cause arousal when women are buying beer4. Emotions High school boyfriend breaks up with his girlfriend senior year. Doesn’t show emotion in front of people except for when in car. 10 years later cries because of song that played everytime girl cried in car. Classically conditioned to cry to that song.5. Taste aversions If you get sick while eating something one time and you will never want to eat that food againKEY COMPONENTSOF CLASSICAL CONDITIONING1. Acquisition Training of the new condition response2. Extinction The elimination of a condition response1. Generalization The tendency to apply what you have learned to new, similar situationsi) Tammy feels sick around Chef Boyardee Ravioli and other Chef Boyardee products2. Discrimination Tendency to distinguish between a new situation and the original situationi) Tammy does not get sick around homemade Italian food OPERANT CONDITIONINGA Different Learning PerspectiveWhy is it hard to study 2 weeks before and exam, but easy to go out and play tennis? Why are some people really good at tennis? Choices made by the learned Deliberate actions, not reflexes Voluntary Goal Directed More complex than salivating to a tone Influenced by consequenceWhat is Operant Conditioning? The study of how the consequences of voluntary actions and behavior influence these actions and behavior. Behavior operate (has an effect) on the environment LAW OF EFFECT1. Behavior varies. It occurs in a random, trial and error fashion. Cat runs around cage and randomly hit lever to open door to locked cage in order to attain food.2. Variation in behaviorpleasurable consequenceMORE likely to occur in the future3. Variation in behaviorunpleasant consequenceLESS likely to occur in the futureBottom line….4.
