AP Psych - Module 26

This document discusses different types of learning including associative learning, cognitive learning, and habituation. It defines key concepts in classical conditioning such as the neutral stimulus, unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, and conditioned response. The document also covers acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination as they relate to classical conditioning. Students are informed that they will have a quiz over this material worth 25 points consisting of multiple choice questions and defining several of the learning concepts covered.

Module 26: How We Learn and


Classical Conditioning
Different Forms of Learning
⚫Learning is the process of acquiring through
experience new and relatively enduring information or
behaviors.
⚫Associative Learning is learning that certain events
occur together.
⚫Cognitive Learning is the acquisition of mental
information, by observing events, watching others or
through language.
Habituation is…..
⚫Decreasing
responsiveness
with repeated
exposure to a
stimulus.
Stimulus is…..
⚫An event
or situation
that evokes
a response.
Respondent and Operant
Behavior
Respondent Operant
⚫Behavior that ⚫Behavior that
occurs as an operates on the
automatic environment,
response to producing
some stimulus consequences.
Classical Conditioning
⚫A type of learning
in which we link two
or more stimuli.
Response and Stimulus
⚫ Neutral Stimulus (NS) in CC, a stimulus that elicits no response before
conditioning.
⚫ Unconditioned Stimulus (US) in CC, a stimulus that unconditionally-
naturally/automatically- triggers a UR.
⚫ Unconditioned Response (UR) in CC, an unlearned, naturally
occurring response to an US.
⚫ Conditioned Stimulus (CS) in CC, originally a NS that after association
with a US, comes to trigger a CR.
⚫ Conditioned Response (CR) in CC, a learned response to a previously
neutral stimulus.
Acquisition and Higher Order Conditioning
Acquisition Higher Order Conditioning

⚫The initial stage


⚫When one links a
NS and US so that
the NS triggers a
CR
Extinction and Spontaneous
Recovery
⚫Extinction is the
diminishing of a
conditioned response.
⚫Spontaneous
Recovery is the
reappearance of an
extinguished CR
Generalization and
Discrimination
Generalization Discrimination
⚫The tendency to ⚫Learned ability
respond to stimuli
similar to the CS. to distinguish
⚫Response to different between CS and
noises similar to the
sound of the bell in
a similar
Pavlov`s experiment. stimulus.
