PSYCH-UA 25 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Response Bias
Document Summary
Phase 1: learning to turn left or right for water or food, water group performed better. Phase learning must be understood with the organism"s evolutionary history. Teaching the animal a task that violates its niche will be e for water. Why don"t animals display a lot of response flexibility ions. Teaching the animal a task that violates its niche will be he will b in escape/avoidance learning. Because they have innate species specific defense reactions (ssdr) that they display in threatening situations. How can motivation restrict response flexibility in learning situations. 2: learning to alternate turns in order to get water or food, food group learned faster. The r-s expectancies that can be learned are limited because the motivation that is involved in this type of learning (hunger, thirst, the need to escape painful stimuli) produces innate response bias. What did he say about the relationship between niche and learning. Learning must be understood with the organism"s evolutionary history.
