CC210 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Hans Eysenck, Tabula Rasa, Observational Learning
Document Summary
Classical conditioning: classical conditioning = a learning process whereby two stimuli are repeatedly paired and result in a neutral stimulus being able to evoke the response originally evoked by the other unconditioned stimulus. Ivan pavlov: discovered the process accidentally while studying the digestive system: food: ucs // salivation: ucr // tone: cs // salivation produced: cr. Classical conditioning and criminal behaviour: classical conditioning can facilitate deviant and criminal acts in some situations. Extinction and schedules of reinforcement: a behaviour will be repeated as long as it continues to be reinforced. Observational learning processes: can be broken into 2 basic components, acquisition = in observational learning, the process of paying attention to and memorizing an observed behaviour. Imitation = in observational learning, the process of replicating an observed behaviour. Observing and imitating offending behaviour: what behaviours are learned depends critically on the models a person is exposed to and how these models conduct themselves.
