Warm Up • How is a conditioned stimulus different than an unconditioned stimulus? • True or False: An originally neutral stimulus must be paired with an unconditioned stimulus in order to elicit the intended response
Test Next Wednesday (10/23) • It will cover ONLY classical and operant conditioning, and social learning • We will review in class Tuesday • ALSO- Tutoring after school Tuesday 2:15-2:45
Operant Conditioning • B.F. Skinner • learning from consequences of behavior • Reinforcement or Punishment
Skinner’s Experiment • Pavlov is to the dog experiment, as Skinner is to the rat experiment • Rats had to press a bar in order to receive the food (reinforcement)
Reinforcement • Stimulus or event that increases the likelihood that a response will be repeated • Can be POSITIVE or NEGATIVE • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-63ysqT5nu0
Negative Reinforcement • Takes away an unpleasant stimulus • Escape Conditioning-remove or terminate unpleasant stimulus • Avoidance Conditioning- prevent the occurrence of an unpleasant stimulus; often has a warning signal • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHhcidCoGAE
Primary vs. Secondary Reinforcer • Primary-satisfies a biological need (hunger/thirst/sleep) • Secondary-paired with a primary reinforcer through classical conditioning and has acquired value(Almost any stimulus)
Schedules of Reinforcement • Behavior Reinforced EVERY time- Continuous Schedule • Behaviors Reinforced with intervals- Partial Schedule
Quick Write • Which do you think is more effective?
Partial Schedule • 253-254 • Pull out the 4 types of partial reinforcement and describe each (in your notes!)
Shaping • Desired behavior is “modeled” by first rewarding any act similar to desired behavior and then requiring closer acts before giving a reward
Shaping • For example, to teach a child to write his or her first name, you initially give praise for writing the first letter correctly. After the child has mastered that first step, letter-by-letter you give praise until the entire name is correctly written. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iox5BVm5-qk
Response Chains • Learned reactions that follow one another in sequence • Simple skills make harder tasks possible • Ride a training bike, have parent guide you, ride a real bike
Punishment • Opposite of negative reinforcement • Behavior is decreased
Negative Punishment • When a child "talks back" to his/her mother, the child may lose the privilege of watching her favorite television program. Therefore, the loss of viewing privileges will act as a negative punisher and decrease the likelihood of the child talking back in the future.
Positive Punishment • If you stroke a cat's fur in a manner that the cat finds unpleasant, the cat may attempt to bite you. Therefore, the presentation of the cat's bite will act as a positive punisher and decrease the likelihood that you will stroke the cat in that same manner in the future.
Disadvantages of Punishment • 257-259 • What are the problems with punishment? Please identify and add to your notes • THEN WE ARE DONE WITH NOTES- YOU MADE IT!
