PSYC 410 1st Edition Lecture 9 Outline of Last Lecture II. What are Marr’s Levels?III. Varieties of Embodied CognitionIV. Bioengineering Outline of Current Lecture I. Introduction of Behavior TheoryII. Fundamentals of ConditioningIII. Pavlov Conditioning/ TheoryIV. Introduction to Instrumental ConditioningCurrent LectureBehaviorism- The Empiricist/Associative Traditiono Analyzing mind and behavior into atomic components bonded with associative glueo Laws of Association Similarity Contiguityo Learning theory as the scientific search for the universal laws of associationo Basis of the Blank Slate- The Empiricist/Associative Tradition- Forms of Behaviorismo Physiological Behaviorism (Pavlov) BRAINo Methodological Behaviorism (Thorndike, Hull, Tolman) Consciousness is private PROBLEM= how can I trust your observation? Consciousness shouldn’t being in science, it belongs to the arts (movie, arts)o Radical Behaviorism (Skinner) PROBLEM= with M.B. = NOT GOOD ENOUGH IT CANNOT EXPLAIN NON CONSCIOUSS PROCESSESThese 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.Fundamentals of ConditioningPavlovian and Instrumental ConditioningIntroduction- Kinds of Conditioning- Nonassociative Conditioning (1 stimulus Involved)o Habituation ex: VCU alarm siren (single stimulus repeateddon’t respond)o Sensitization (repeated exposure to stimulus  become sensitive to it. Ex: cell phone vibration- Associative Conditioningo Pavlovian (Classical, Respondent) Conditioningo Instrumental (Trial and Error, Operant) Conditioning ThorndikePC: Method- Ivan Pavlov’s Research Programo Pavlov’s Reductionismo Experimental MethodPC: Classical Findings- Pavlov’s Research Program- Basic Phenomenao Acquisition, Extinction, and Spontaneous Recoveryo Ex. Lego theory Extinction = CS alone (tone, no food) inhibitory activity Acquisition= excitatory activityo Temporal Relations Between CS and USo Patterning= final response controlled by stimulus. Generalization and Discrimination Compound Conditioning ex: delayed conditioningo Higher Order Conditioning ex: work hard for $20Pavlov’s Theory- Neuroscience: Associative Brain Fields- Psychology: CSs as SignalsINSTRUMENTAL CONDITIONING- Edward Lee Thorndike (1874-1949)IC: Method- E. L. Thorndike’s Research Programo Critique of Anecdotal Methodo Experimental Method: The Puzzle
