PSYC 100 Chapter Notes -Observational Learning, Latent Learning, Motivation
Document Summary
Classical conditioning learning where an organism comes to associate stimuli, a neutral stimulus that signals an unconditioned stimulus begins to produce a response that anticipates and prepares for the unconditioned stimulus; stimulus-response relationship; autonomic ns; repetition unconditioned stimulus. Unconditioned response (ur) unlearned, naturally occurring response to the. Unconditioned stimulus (us) a stimulus that unconditionally/automatically triggers a response. Operant conditioning behaviour is strengthened by a reinforcer or diminished by punisher: respondent behaviour behaviour that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus, operant behaviour behaviour that operates on the environment, producing consequences. Law of effect thorndike"s principle that behaviours followed by a favourable consequences become more likely and that behaviours followed by unfavourable consequences become less likely. Operant chamber skinner box containing a bar/key animals can manipulate to obtain a reinforcer. Shaping reinforcers guide behaviour toward closer & closer approximations of the desired behaviour.
