y!! r a nt Key Terms: lu o v In Classical Conditioning Learning through involuntary paired associations; it occurs when a previously neutral stimulus (NS) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to elicit a conditioned response (CR) Unconditioned Stimulus (USC) Stimulus that elicits an unconditioned response (UCR) without previous conditioning Unconditioned Response (UCR) Unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus without previous conditioning © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

ANIMATION Classical Conditioning © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Using Key Terms in Classical Conditioning Identify the NS, the UCR, the CS, and the CR. A researcher sounds a tone, then places a piece of meat into a dog’s mouth, causing it to salivate. Eventually, the sound of the tone alone causes the dog to salivate. You have a cat that always comes running when she hears the electric can opener. While listening to a song on his car radio, a man accidentally bumped into a red car in front of him. Thereafter, whenever he saw red cars, he experienced a severe anxiety attack. A pregnant woman, experiencing morning sickness, vomited while eating at Burger King. Thereafter, she felt sick every time she drove by a Burger King. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Six Principles of Classical Conditioning © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Principle #1: Acquisition © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Principles #2 and #3 Stimulus Generalization Stimuli similar to the original conditioned stimulus (CS) elicit a conditioned response (CR) Stimulus Discrimination Only the conditioned stimulus (CS) elicits the conditioned response (CR) © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Principles #4 and #5 Extinction Gradual disappearance of a conditioned response (CR); occurs when unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is withheld whenever the conditioned stimulus (CS) is presented Spontaneous Recovery Sudden, temporary reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned response (CR) © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Key Terms: Operant Conditioning Learning through voluntary behavior and its subsequent consequences; reinforcement increases behavioral tendencies, whereas punishment decreases them Reinforcement ! y! r a t n lu Vo Punishment Strengthens a Weakens a response and makes it less it more likely to recur © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Important Figures in Operant Conditioning Thorndike Skinner Law of Effect Thorndike’s rule is that the probability of an action being repeated is strengthened when it is followed by a pleasant or satisfying consequence. emphasized that reinforcement (which increases the likelihood of a response) and punishment (which decreases it) are always defined after the fact. It’s about the CONSEQUENCES! © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Differentiating Classical/Operant Conditioning For each of the following examples, decide whether the situation is an example of classical or operant conditioning. I. If you decide the situation seems to be an example of classical conditioning, you should label the UCS, UCR, CS, and CR. II. If you decide the situation seems to be an example of operant conditioning, you should identify whether it is positive or negative reinforcement, or positive or negative punishment SITUATION 1 A very bright (mildly painful) light is turned on a rat. The rat has learned that he can turn off the light by pressing a lever on the other side of his cage. As soon as the light comes on, the rat runs across the room and presses the lever. SITUATION 2 When a mother strokes her infant's skin, the stroking creates pleasure responses in the baby. After this goes on for many days, the baby begins to show pleasure responses simply at the sight of the mother (before even being touched). SITUATION 3 A patient in a mental hospital is very disruptive at mealtimes. She grabs food from the plates of those sitting near her and tries to cram the food into her mouth. Because this behavior of stealing food is very undesirable, a plan is developed whereby every time the patient steals food from other plates, she is immediately taken to a room without food. SITUATION 4 Johnny has developed a habit of yelling "Bye, Mom" and then slamming the door very loudly in his hurry to leave for school in the morning. The door slam causes his mother to flinch. After several days of the procedure, Johnny's mother begins to flinch at the sound of her son's words, "Bye, Mom. " SITUATION 5 Mr. and Mrs. Jones are having a heated argument that both are finding very unpleasant. Mrs. Jones gets up and leaves the room, closing the door behind her. This has the effect of terminating the argument. From then on, every time Mr. Jones raises his voice, Mrs. Jones leaves the room. Mr. Jones stops raising his voice. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Side Effects of Punishment ü Passive aggressiveness ü Avoidance ü Inappropriate modeling ü Temporary suppression versus elimination ü Learned helplessness ü Increased aggression © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

SIDE EFFECTS OF PUNISHMENT 1. Passive aggressiveness For the recipient, punishment often leads to frustration, anger, and an urge to fight back. But most of us have learned from experience that retaliatory aggression toward a punisher (especially one who is bigger and more powerful) is usually followed by more punishment. We therefore tend to control our impulse toward open aggression and instead resort to more subtle techniques, such as showing up late or “forgetting” to do chores. This is a form of passive aggressiveness. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

2. Avoidance No one likes to be punished, so we naturally try to avoid the punisher. If every time you come home a parent or spouse starts yelling at you, you will delay coming home or find another place to go. 3. Inappropriate modeling Have you ever seen a parent spank or hit a child for hitting another child? If so, the parent may unintentionally serve as a “model” for the same behavior he or she is attempting to stop. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

4. Temporary suppression versus elimination Punishment generally suppresses the behavior only temporarily, while the punisher is nearby. For example, have you noticed how drivers immediately slow down when they see a nearby police car? And how quickly they later resume their previous speed once the police officer is out of sight? © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

5. Learned helplessness Why do some people stay in abusive relationships? Research shows that if you repeatedly fail in your attempts to escape or control your environment, you acquire a general sense of powerlessness or learned helplessness, and you may become depressed and make no further attempts to escape. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

6. Increased aggression Because punishment often produces a decrease in undesired behavior, at least for the moment, the punisher is in effect rewarded for applying punishment. Thus, a vicious circle may be established in which both the punisher and recipient are reinforced for inappropriate behavior. In addition to fear and submissiveness, the recipient also might become depressed and/or respond with his or her own form of aggression. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
