PSYC1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Classical Conditioning, Operant Conditioning, Observational Learning
Document Summary
Special learning theory: how do we learn, learning, the process of acquiring, through experience, new and relatively enduring information or behaviors, associative learning. In classical conditioning, a stimulus that evokes no response before conditioning: unconditioned stimulus (us) In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally-naturally and automatically-triggers a response (ur: unconditioned response (ur) In classical conditioning, an unlearned, naturally occurring response (such as salivation) to an unconditioned stimulus (us) (such as food in the mouth: conditioned stimulus (cs) In classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (us), comes to trigger a conditioned response (cr: conditioned response (cr) In classical conditioning, a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (cs: operant conditioning, classical. Involves learning associations between events that are not controlled by learner: responsible behavior: automatic responses to stimuli, operant. Involves learning associations between behavior and resulting events: association with one"s won actions with consequences, types of reinforcers, positive reinforcement.
