Factors Influencing Respondent & Operant Learning Lesson 6
Respondent & Operant Together SD : B CS : SR US CR UR
Associative Learning & Language acquisition l Interaction of nature & nurture l Respondent & operant n Respondent l Association of sounds & symbols l English: “deh” = d; “err” = r l Russian: “deh” = д; “err” = р ~ n
Respondent Learning & Language Associatе sounds/symbols with objects/actions l English: dog; woman; speak l Spanish: perro; mujer; hablar l Russian: собака; женщина, говорить n Words/ideas l Conditional stimuli l Conditional responses ~ n
Operant Learning & Language Babies start off babbling sounds l Inherited behavior n Certain sounds are reinforced l Directly by parents, etc. l Also by consequences n u n words are understood consequences Mother ~
Respondent vs Operant Both associative n Involuntary vs voluntary n Biologically important events R l US vs S n Signals/cues D l CS vs S n Contingency R ~ l CS : US vs B S n
Factors Influencing Acquisition Frequency l # learning trials n Predictivity l contingency & probability n Contiguity l timing n Salience l Intensity / novelty ~ n
Acquisition: Frequency Gradual l usually requires many pairings l Respondent: CS : US UR l Operant: S D : B SR n Measuring the learned response l magnitude l latency / probability / frequency n Asymptote l limit to how much can be learned ~ n
Respondent Acquisition CS : US UR CR Hi Asymptote CR Strength Lo CS : US pairings
Operant Acquisition SD : B S R Hi Asymptote Bar Press Rate (B) Lo B SR Trials
Acquisition: Detour Learning Task
Acquisition: Detour Learning Chicks performance on detour learning task
Acquisition: Predictivity Contingency l CS+ / CSD ∆ l S / S n Probability l Usefulness of cues l Hi faster learning l Low slower learning ~ n
Contiguity: Respondent Learning n Order & Timing l Anticipate important event l strongest to weakest CR Delayed CS US CS Trace US
Contiguity: Respondent Learning Simultaneous Backward CS US
Contiguity: Respondent Learning CS-US interval n In general. . . l shorter interval more effective l longer interval less effective n Depends on response system l Fast: . 5 - 2 seconds) n ue. g. , l Slow: 2 -3 min ue. g. , l eye blink, skeletal muscle reflexes CERs, physiological responses Nausea (CTA): hours ~
Contiguity: Operant Learning Delay of Reinforcement n Immediate consequences most effective l temporal contiguity l reinforcement & punishment n longer delays: l probability of other behaviors being reinforced l instead of intended behavior ~ n
Delay of Reinforcement 20 Bar presses per minute 15 10 5 0 0 20 40 60 Delay between B and SR (sec)
Salience: Operant Learning SD / S∆ intensity l More noticeable faster learning n SR intensity l Magnitude of reinforcement l magnitude faster learning n SR value l value faster learning ~ n
Operant: Delay vs Magnitude Delay most important factor l Small, immediate reinforcer more powerful… l Than large, delayed reward n Immediate consequences l More closely connected to situation l e. g. , hangovers as punishment ~ n
Salience: CS Intensity n CS intensity l intensity Hi Faster conditioning ~ stronger CS Asymptote CR weaker CS Lo # of CS - US pairings
Salience: US Intensity n Increased intensity l Faster conditioning and… l Stronger CR possible u. Raise Asymptote ~
Salience: US Intensity Hi stronger US Asymptote CR weaker US Lo # of CS - US pairings
Salience: Novelty Surprisingness of US important n Novel stimuli best cues D ∆ l CS+ / CS- and S / S l Not cues for other R l only occur with US/S n Latent Inhibition l Slower acquisition if CS is familiar l Cues associated w/ other events R ~ l Inhibits association w/ new US/S n
Conditioned Taste Aversion (CTA) Exception to usual rules of conditioning l Delay can be hours l Requires only single CS-US pairing n Adaptive ~ n
Conditioned Taste Aversions Learn to avoid foods that make you sick n Eat a novel food l Taste = CS l Become sick l Avoid food n Resistant to extinction ~ n
