PSYCH 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Reinforcement Learning, Operant Conditioning Chamber, Albert Bandura
Document Summary
The story of pavlov and his dogs lead to a breakthrough in learning theory that is now called classical conditioning. Unconditioned stimulus (ucs): stimulus that can elicit an unlearned response- an instinctual stimulus. Unconditioned response (ucr): unlearned reaction to the unconditioned stimulus-inborn reaction. Conditioned stimulus (cs): stimulus that elicits a response as a result of being paired with an unconditioned stimulous - learned stimulus. Conditioned response (cr): response that is similar or identical to the unconditioned response that is elicited by a conditioned stimulus - learned response. Definition: a form of learning in which a previously neutral stimulus (cs) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (ucs) to elicit a conditioned response (cr) that is identical to or very similar to the unconditioned response (ucr) Counterconditioning: the process of reversing classical conditioning my pairing the conditioned stimulus with a new unconditioned stimulus for a response that is stronger than the conditioned response.
