Document Summary

Classical conditioning (oldest type of behaviourism: pavlov and his dogs, old work that demonstrates classical conditioning, severe limitations. Operant conditioning: skinner and his pigeons. Observational learning: very straight forward learn by watching someone else s do something, modelling (one of the dominate theories in psychology, radical in the past) Before conditioning: ucs (food in mouth) ucr (salivation) An unconditioned stimulus (ucs) produces an unconditioned response (ucr: neutral stimulus (tone) no salivation. A neutral stimulus produces no salivation response. During conditioning: neutral stimulus (tone) + ucs (food in mouth) ucr (salivation) The unconditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented just after the neutral stimulus. The unconditioned stimulus to produce an unconditioned response. After conditioning: cs (tone) cr (salivation) The neutral stimulus alone now produces a conditioned response (cr), thereby becoming a conditioned stimulus (cs) Dogs learn what the associates of neutral stimulus is with the food footstep, tuning fork, lights, etc.

40. Zack and his mom are baking cookies together for the first time. The first time the oven timer goes off, Zack shows no particular response. Then Zack gets to eat one of the cookies from the cookie tray that his mom pulls out of the oven, causing his mouth to water. From then on, every time Zack hears the oven timer, Zack's mouth begins to water. This is best described as A) operant conditioning, with the sound of the oven timer as the negative reinforcer B) operant conditioning, with mouth watering as the negative reinforcer C) classical conditioning, with mouth watering as the conditioned stimulus D) classical conditioning, with the sound of the oven timer as the unconditioned stimulus E) classical conditioning, with the sound of the oven timer as the conditioned stimulus

38. Dr. Rashinji investigates the strategies students use to solve complex physics problems. He is especially interested in what students are thinking at various stages in reaching a solution. Dr. Rashinji is studying A) classical conditioning B) prepared learning C) operant conditioning D) learning via modelling E) cognitive learning

30. Ralph is attempting to use classical conditioning to train his dog to salivate when he hears a click. To do this he gives the dog some food and then activates his clicker 5 seconds later. So far Ralph is disappointed because his dog is not learning to salivate at the sound of the clicker. The reason why the dog is not learning is that A) the 5 second delay is too long B) the clicker should be activated after he feeds the dog C) the dog is learning, but its performance does not yet reflect it D) it is only possible to train dogs with operant conditioning E) there is not enough information given to determine why the dog is not learning
