  2. Some Thoughts on Learning

  3. The Biological Value of Learning 1.) Inflexible: hard wired • Pine Processionary • Instincts • Releasing Stimuli:

  4. Aggression

  5. Mating

  6. The Biological Value of Learning 2.) Maximum Flexibility: completely soft wired Tabula Rasa

  7. John B. Watson: Father of Behaviorism “Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select – doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors. ..”

  9. The Biological Value of Learning 3.) Hybrid: Soft/Hard wired • Some hardwiring • Programmable (soft wiring) • Example: Language

  10. Early Ideas About Learning • All is learned (tabula rasa) • Learning is gradual, incremental • Anything can be learned

  11. All is Learned Evidence: Gender Differences in Heterosexual Attractiveness Males: physical attributes of females Females: ability of male to add resources

  12. WHR

  13. Biological Value of WHR • Males: Physical attractiveness (correlated with health) • Females: Resources (care of offspring)

  14. Learning Is Gradual

  15. All Can be Learned Equally Well • Principles of conditioning apply to all possible combinations of stimulus events.

  16. Conditioned Taste Aversion • The Phenomenon • Implications • One Trial Learning • Selectivity of Learning

  17. What can Rats Learn? Illness Shock Taste Place

  18. What can Rats Learn? Illness Shock Taste YES No Place NoYes

  19. An Application of CTA: Heroine Overdose • The Phenomenon • The Explanation:

  20. Drug Injection Drug Effect

  21. Drug Effect Drug Opposite Effect

  22. “CUES ’’ Drug Opposite Effect Drug Opposite Effect Before Drug Effect Tolerance
