Learning
- What is Learning?
- Inflexible patterns of behaviour are inherited and biological
o Such behaviour is referred to as instinctive or reflexive. Sometimes referred to as
fixed atio pattes – fully functional at birth
o E.g. Nest building spider, Cupiennius Salei, imprinting
- We distinguish cognitive learning from conditioning, more primitive forms of learning we
share in common with most other animals and which we can engage in both unconsciously
and vicariously
The Constituency of Personality
- Personality traits as biological predispositions
- Situation determinants of personality and acquired long-term habits
- I a ho I a eause…
Refer to the Hot/Cool Theory and Brain from
Definitions (Ivan Pavlov)
- The stadad Model
- US → UR (Unconditioned Stimulus → Unconditioned Response);
Conditioned Stimulus → Conditioned Response
- Stage 1: First-order conditioning
o Before conditioning
▪ Providing Meat UCS→ Salivation UCR
▪ Sounding a bell CS → No Salivation No Response
▪ Sounding a bell CS → Meat UCS ➔ Salivation UCR
o After Conditioning
▪ Sounding a Bell CS → Salivation CR

Document Summary
Project draft of results/method due this week. Inflexible patterns of behaviour are inherited and biological: such behaviour is referred to as instinctive or reflexive. Sometimes referred to as (cid:862)fixed a(cid:272)tio(cid:374) patte(cid:396)(cid:374)s(cid:863) fully functional at birth: e. g. We distinguish cognitive learning from conditioning, more primitive forms of learning we share in common with most other animals and which we can engage in both unconsciously and vicariously. Situation determinants of personality and acquired long-term habits. Refer to the hot/cool theory and brain from. Us ur (unconditioned stimulus unconditioned response); Little albert (infant)(1920) john watson: cer conditioned emotional response. Pavlov used this idea to explain more complex learning. Respondent conditioning (classical conditioning: learning about antecedents of behaviour, responses to stimuli. Operant conditioning: learning about consequences of behaviour, (cid:862)ope(cid:396)atio(cid:374)s(cid:863) o(cid:374) the e(cid:374)(cid:448)i(cid:396)o(cid:374)(cid:373)e(cid:374)t a(cid:374)d the (cid:272)o(cid:374)se(cid:395)ue(cid:374)(cid:272)es7. Any stimulus that increases the probability of a response is said to be a reinforce.
