  1. Behavioral Psychology Theory

  2. What is Behaviorism? • The philosophy that all behavior is acquired through conditioning • All behavior can be observed due to that behavior is controlled by outside forces rather inside forces • Began with Ivan Pavlov in 1943 • Ivan Pavlov • Physiologist

  3. US-Unconditioned Stimulus • UR-unconditioned Response • CS-Conditioned Stimulus • CR-Conditioned Response

  4. Unconditioned Stimulus • Anything • Interacts with your 5 senses • Smell • Auditory • Visual • Touch • Taste • Overtime people build associations with different types of stimuli

  5. Unconditioned Response • An unconditioned response is the unlearned response that occurs naturally in response to the unconditioned stimulus. • How you feel about something is your unconditioned response • Can be different each time we see it

  6. Conditioned Stimulus • Conditioned stimulus is previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response.

  7. Conditioned Response • Person or animal responds to conditioned stimuli the same as the event • The dog eventually developed a conditioned response to the sound of the bell

  8. B.F. Skinner • Psychologist • Concluded when a type of behavior is followed by a positive consequence it is more likely to occur again, this positive effect is a reinforcer. • Negative effect is aversive and will cause a person to move away or run away from something. • Entire system is based on operant conditioning

  9. Operant Conditioning • Positive Reinforcement • Reward for desired behavior • Person/animal associates the desired behavior with the reward • More desired behavior=Reward

  10. Operant Conditioning • Negative Reinforcement • Removing some unpleasant state of affairs • Make a response more likely to occur • Punishment • Make behavior less likely to happen
