Document Summary
We learn by association - links between our neural connections (associative learning: classical conditioning : learning two things are happening together, operant conditioning : associating something with reward or getting in trouble. Ivan pavlov - dog remembers assistant feeds him and then associates assistant with eating. Generalization : tendency for stimuli similar to cs to evoke similar response. Stimulus discrimination : being able to tell different between two stimuli. Interstimulus interval : time between ucs and cs (about 0. 5 seconds) B. f. skinner - elaborated thorndike"s las skinner box. Negative can still be a bad reward (i. e. not getting the snack a child wants, but still getting a snack) Negative punishments - taking something away (i. e. a present) Primary reinforcement - satisfies biological need - food/drink. Secondary reinforcement - conditioned, learned through association with primary reinforcer. Variable ratio - reinforces response after unpredictable number of responses. Hard to extinguish because of unpredictability (ex: slot machines)
