Unit 4 by Evan T March https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/upllfsupe1gy Made with a quick smile en-us 2016-10-28 15:42:49 UTC 2016-11-11 16:50:00 UTC hello@padlet.com 10/31 evanmar2265 https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/upllfsupe1gy/wish/134252471 I can apply behavior modification. 
  • Annoying and rude.
  • Trial and Error: If at first you don't succeed try again.
  • Operant Conditioning: Behaviors have consequences.
  • Classical Conditioning: Associative learning.
  • Observational Learning: Monkey see, monkey do.

Thorndike- Law of Effect
  • purpose was to see if there was a line between between associated learning in humans and animals.
  • Animal was placed in a small box and had to figure out how to get out. Each time the animal got out, it would be rewarded and latency would increase.
  • Animals were able to find out how to solve the problems and could be compared to intelligent humans.
  • Time taken to escape decreased over time, Practice makes habits
  • Formal Discipline: Mind could be strengthened through discipline
Skinner- Operant Conditioning
  •  purpose was to find the effects of rewards and reinforcement. Focused on events following results.
  •  Skinner would put a rat in a box and if they pulled a level, food or water would be added into the area to positively reinforce.
  •  Operant Conditioning: if a response is followed by a reinforcing stimulus, response strength increases.
  • events following response had a greater influence of later rate of occurrence.
  • Fixed Ratio, Fixed Interval, Variable Interval 
  • can be used to help change behavior.

Conditioned Taste aversion- Garcia
  • Rats were given Saccharin and then were exposed to radiation, and then were exposed to radiation without the Saccharin. The rats were given Saccharin 3 days later and results were recorded.
  • Rats associated that drink with sickness, since they were exposed to the radiation.
  • Garcia's results showed that a neutral stimulus used does have an influence on the conditioning process.
  1. Unconditioned stimulus ---> Unconditioned response
  2. Conditioned stimulus and Unconditioned stimulus ---> Unconditioned Response
  3. Conditioned Stimulus ---> Conditioned Response
Acquisition: Process of pairing the Stimulus and Response
Extinction: When the Conditioned response dies down
Spontaneous Recovery: When the Conditioned response comes back.

  • Pavlov's research involved classical conditioning. 
  • Unconditioned stimulus was food in the experiment to elicit salivation.
  • Dog was able to salivate from the just the metronome as the new conditioned stimulus.
  • Pavlov's theory of classical conditioning is still used to explain things today.  Inspired the little albert experiment.

Seligman- Learned Helpless 
  •  Dogs were placed in a harness and shocked
  • escape group dog could end shock and non escape group could not
  • dogs were placed in a box the next day, the ones who could not get rid of the shock the day before did not attempt to escape.
  • the other dogs were able to easily jump out of the box.
  • helplessness could cause depression .
Bandura- Bobo Doll
  • Purpose was to discover if children would imitate adult models.
  • Each group was exposed to a certain behavior and were exposed to aggression.
  • Boys were overall more physically aggressive than girls.
  • Kids that were exposed to the violence reacted in aggression when confronted with frustration.

Variable- random 
Ratio- number of responses
Interval- time
Fixed- set
  • Variable Interval: Reinforcement occurs after a random amount of responses.
  • Variable Ratio: Reinforcement occurs after a random amount of time
  • Fixed Ratio: Reinforcement occurs after a set amount of responses
  • Fixed Interval: Reinforcement occurs after a set amount of time.
  • Continuous: Reinforcement occurs every time.
