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 repeateddon’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
