Reason him.
4 Methods of Learning
Trial and Error
If at first you don't succeed, try try again.
Operant Conditioning
Behaviors have consequences
Classical Conditioning
Associative Learning
Observational Learning (Modeling)
Monkey See, Monkey Do

Thorndike
Purpose: To see if there was a line between the associated learning in humans versus in animals, and how problem solving is approached by either side.
Procedure: Animal would be placed in the uncomfortable cahe. 
The animal would have to either push a lever or a similar task to open the cage
after they got out, he would give a reward. 
Each time the animal got out the latency would decrease because the animals start to respond the stimulus quickly
Latency- Delay from input to desired outcome: in this case, the cat's delay time from exiting the cage. 
Results
The animals were able to find out how to solve the problems set for them which would be considered intelligent id the humans were able to do it.  
Law of effect: How creatures could obtain habits. 
THe time expected was decreasing over more time or trials. 
THe cat's correct response was rewarded by the cat escaping the box and getting the fish left outside the box
"Practice makes habit" - law of exercise
This was an ethical experiment. 
No animals were harmed

Procedure: Rats made sick but not given the sweet drink (saccharin)
The rats will be given saccharin and then 30 minutes later will be exposed to x Irradiation and become sick
Results: THe rats were given the drink that they enjoyed but associated with the sickness they did not enjoy, even though the drink and the illness were separated within 30 minutes to an hour apart. 
Ethical Guidelines
It was both ethical and unethical
Unethical: rats are exposed to x irradiation
Ethical: Rats were fed
Garcia demonstrated that types of neural stimuluses does have an influence on the conditioning processes.   
Watson: Little Albert Experiment
The Purpose of this study is to study Freud's theory about biological and instinctual processes with Watson's behaviorist theory. 
Watson recruited a baby albert that was testsed mental and physically healthy. 
The baby was introduced with various objects.
Neural Stimuli:
EVery time he touched the item, he was introduced with a bang.
ALbert then began to generalize his responeses and react with fear to other similar objects such as a rabbit, dog etc
Results
Albert became terrified
Proved that emotional behavior can be conditioned through stiumulus response techniques
Created Methodological behaviorism: Psychology should be concerned with behavior 
This was unethical Alber was exposed to loud banging sounds. This type of treatment could possibly lead to a long term psychological issues. 
Proved Freud's theory wrong: 
Classical Conditioning DIagram
Unconditioned Stimulus = Unconditioned response. 
Conditioned Stimulus + Unconditioned Stimulus = Unconditioned Response
Conditioned Stimulus= Conditioned Response
Acquisition: THe process of combining the CS and the UCS
Extinction: No UCS
Spontaneous: Rest Period ]]> 2016-11-03 15:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rohitaso5302/pzk7ibt4hwq9/wish/135113058 rohitaso5302 https://padlet.com/rohitaso5302/pzk7ibt4hwq9/wish/135414818 It's not just about salivating dogs
Physiologist to psychologist 
He experimented with dogs to experiment with human behavior.
Unconditioned stimulus: Food
While being fed, played a metronome
Neutral stimulus: Sound of metronome. 
Pavlov initiated several several repetitions of the condition stimulus
It was and not ethical at the same time
Dogs were received surgery 
Decent conditions
His theory of classical conditioning reflex can be conditioned to occur
Inspired by Watson to classical condition Little Albert.

Discover whether adult models that children imitated would be applied. 
Two Groups of 24 boys and girls
1 group would be aggressive
1 would be passive
Mild Aggression arousal
After exposure, each child from either three groups was taken separately. 
Results: Same sex aggressive conditions: girls were more likely to imitate verbal aggression boys physical aggression. 
270 violent act by boys 120 by girls
Unethical
Unhappy experience with the kids
Aggression is a male typed behavior
Increased observation of aggressive behavior can lead to increased probability that a child will react to frustration with violent behavior.
Seligman
Seligman, Steven Meyer
Purpose: See the effect of controllable vs uncontrollable shock on later ability 
24 Mongrel Dogs
Escape Group
No Escape Group
Each Dog was placed in a harness 
Each of the groups were related
When Escape group stopped shock, no escape did aswell. 
Escape group could terminate the shock
No Escape had no control
Next day they were tested in a shuttlebox
The dogs had to just accept the shock
Dogs in group receiving uncontrollable shocks were given an easy escape while the other did not
Unethical Study
Painful Study
Result could vary among human and dogs
Learned hopelessness can cause depression

Ratio- number of responses
Fixed: Set
Internal: Time
Continuous Reinforcement: Every instance of behavior is reinforced
Ratio Schedules: Reinforcement is based in the number of behaviors required
Interval Schedules: Reinforcement is based in passage of time. 
Fixed Ratio example : Giving a child candy every time she picks up her toys
Fixed Interval Example: Doing my job and receiving my paycheck monthly, last day of the month.
Variable Interval: Unpredictable;  reinforcement occurs after a random amount of time
Example: Checking your phone for text messages, you do not know when you will receive the message, but continue to check. 
Variable Ratio Example: Playing poker: I do not win every time, but must play in order to have a chance. ]]> 2016-11-10 17:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rohitaso5302/pzk7ibt4hwq9/wish/136809877
