Agenda – Wednesday, February 19th • Reading Quiz #5 – Learning • Classical Conditioning • Notes • Example • Homework: NONE • Unit Test #2 – Returned TOMORROW
Learning Unit • Acquiring new information • Modifying or reinforcing existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences • Learning does not happen all at once • Ideas build upon one another • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57e4t-fhXDs
Classical Conditioning IT IS NOT VOLUNTARY!! IT HAPPENS REFLEXIVELY!!!
Classical Conditioning • Unconditioned Stimulus: anything that generates an automatic response • Unconditioned Response: The automatic response to the US • Tasty food Salivate • Loud Noise Startled • Puff of air in the eye Twitch • Being dumped Sadness • Stomach Flu Nausea • Alluring Image Sexual Arousal
Classical Conditioning • Neutral Stimulus: Anything to which you DON’T already have a natural reaction to • Doctor’s Office • A color • Computer sound • Spray bottle • Sound of a bell • Your friend’s house • A building
Classical Conditioning Acquisition: Repeated pairing of NS & UCS NS + UCS UR CS CR
Classical Conditioning Generalization: When other stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus cause a conditioned response Discrimination: The ability to differentiate between CS and similar stimuli
Classical Conditioning • Extinction: Eliminating a Conditioned Response • caused by UCS by REPEATEDLY not following CS • The NS loses its predictive power!
Classical Conditioning • Spontaneous Recovery: Re-emergence of an extinct CR after a period of time • CR will be much weaker, but still present
Example: Invisible Fences Some dog owners prefer to get an invisible fence (a fence that provides a shock when dogs with shock collars cross a wire in the ground) because their neighborhood does not allow certain fences. When the dog is about 6 inches away from the wire, it hears a loud tone. If the dog continues walking after hearing the tone, it will be shocked.
Before the fence… Unconditioned Stimulus: _______________ Unconditioned Response: ______________ Neutral Stimulus: ______________________
Conditioned Stimulus: _________________ Conditioned Response: ________________
Extinction: Spontaneous Recovery: Generalization: Discrimination:
Agenda – Thursday, February 20th Return and review Exam #2 Classical Conditioning class example If time: Higher-order Classical Conditioning Homework: NONE
Exam #2 • Exam #1 Mean Score (with 2 point curve) • 5th hour: 21.95/27 • 7th hour: 21.23/27 • Exam #2 Mean Score (with 4 point curve) • 5th hour: 25.0/33 • 7th hour: 25.45/33
Agenda – Friday, February 21st • Higher-Order Classical Conditioning • Notes • “The Office” example • Operant Conditioning • Homework: Reading Guide #6 + reading quiz TUESDAY
Higher-Order Conditioning • Using a CS as UCS to condition a new response • It’s like the “Inception” of conditioning • First-Order: • UCS + NS = UR • NR CS • CS = CR
Higher-Order Conditioning • Higher-Order • CS CR • CS = UCS • UCS (old CS) + (NEW) NS UCR • Eventually…NS becomes CS • CS CR
Operant Conditioning IT IS VOLUNTARY!! You learn consequences that follow your behavior (GOOD OR BAD) How do CRUSH CARDS function as operant conditioning?
Operant Conditioning Shaping: rewarding successive behaviors to encourage more complex behaviors
Operant Conditioning How does gambling function as both reinforcement and punishment? MUST FOLLOW A BEHAVIOR! Reinforcement: Increases the frequency of behavior Punishment: Decreases the frequency of behavior
Operant Conditioning Is receiving a speeding ticket positive or negative? Positive: Adding something Negative: Taking away something
Agenda – Monday, February 24th • Important people (yellow sheet) • Classical vs. Operant conditioning examples worksheet • Reinforcement Schedules • Practice FRQ (if time) • Homework: • Reading Guide #6 due tomorrow • Reading Quiz #6 tomorrow
Important People Ivan Pavlov B.F. Skinner John B. Watson Edward Thorndike Albert Bandura
Fixed Ratio • Response happens after the behavior occurs a specific amount of times • Examples: • Push level five times: Receive a food pellet • Buy four coffees: Get one free • Read five books: Get a free pizza • Clean three rooms: Get a 15 minutes break
Fixed Interval • Response happens after a set amount of time • Examples: • Pressing a lever: Food pellet released every 10 minutes • Studying: Final exam given every end of semester • Being paid every two weeks for working a job • Reading a textbook:” Teacher gives quiz every Tuesday
Variable Ratio • Response happen after the behavior occurs an unpredictable amount of times • Example: • Pressing a level: Unknown how many times it takes to release pellet • Buying scratch off lottery tickets: Unknown how many you need to win • Using slot machines: Unknown how many times it takes to pay out • Calling for donations: Unknown how many calls you need to make to get a donation
Variable Interval • Response happens after an unpredictable amount of time • Examples: • Pressing a lever: You don’t know when the pellet will be released • Studying: You don’t know when a pop quiz will happen • Fishing: You can go very long or short periods of time without catching fish • Drug Use: Random drug tests by an employer
Cognition Latent Learning: Even without reinforcement and punishment schedules, you are still learning (create a cognitive map) Example Other examples?
Cognition Intrinsic Motivation: The inner desire to perform a behavior effectively for the sake of it Extrinsic Motivation: The desire to behave a certain way to receive external rewards or avoid threatened punishment
Intrinsic or Extrinsic? • “I remember a daily ritual that we had: I would call Pop at work to ask if I could practice with him. He would always pause a second or two, keeping me in suspense, but he’d always say yes…In his own way, he was teaching me initiative. You see, he never pushed me to play.” • -Tiger Woods
