Presentation on behaviorism
This document provides an overview of behaviorism and its influences on acquiring English as a second language. It discusses the key theorists and experiments in behaviorism, including Pavlov's classical conditioning experiment with dogs, Watson's "Little Albert" experiment, and Skinner's operant conditioning experiment with rats. The document also notes strengths and weaknesses of applying behaviorism to second language acquisition, such as the challenges of overcoming influences from one's first language. Finally, it describes the roles of students and teachers in a behaviorist framework, with students as passive receivers of knowledge and teachers as the central authority figures.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism is a theory that human behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning in response to environmental stimuli. The key figures who developed behaviorism are John B. Watson, who pioneered the theory, and B.F. Skinner, who expanded on it with his theory of operant conditioning. Behaviorism views behavior as observable and influenced by consequences in the environment.
Behaviorism Powerpoint
This document discusses the theory of behaviorism. It explains that behaviorism focuses on how environmental stimuli shape observable behaviors through conditioning principles without regard to mental processes. The two types of conditioning are operant conditioning, where behaviors are reinforced or punished, and classical conditioning, where a reflex response becomes associated with a neutral stimulus. Key figures who contributed to behaviorism include Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, B.F. Skinner, and Albert Bandura. The document also provides examples of how teachers can apply behaviorism in their classrooms through reinforcement and punishment.
Behaviorism theory
Major theorists in behaviorism include John B. Watson, Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, B.F. Skinner, and Clark Hull. Behaviorism is based on the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning, and can be studied systematically through interaction with the environment without consideration of internal mental states. The two major types of conditioning are classical conditioning, involving learned associations between stimuli, and operant conditioning, where behaviors are associated with consequences like rewards and punishments.
Behaviourism
The document discusses the theory of behaviourism and some of its key proponents. Behaviourism argues that behaviour is the only objective thing that can be studied, not internal mental states. Some of the theorists discussed include Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner. Their work involved classical conditioning experiments with animals and humans to understand learning through stimulus-response associations and reinforcement.
behaviorism school of thought
The document discusses several influential psychologists and their theories, including Ivan Pavlov and his work on classical conditioning using dogs, John B. Watson who believed environment shapes behavior and conducted experiments on conditioning in infants, and B.F. Skinner who introduced the theory of operant conditioning and used Skinner boxes to study reinforcement. It also mentions Edward Thorndike's law of effect and Ivan Sechenov and his studies on reflexes in the brain.
Behaviorism
Applied behavior analysis uses principles of operant conditioning to change behavior in education settings. Teachers can increase desirable student behaviors by choosing effective reinforcers, making them contingent on the target behavior, and using different schedules of reinforcement. Applied behavior analysis also aims to decrease undesirable behaviors through strategies like negative reinforcement and behavior contracts.
B.f.skinner behaviorist theory
B.F. Skinner was an influential American psychologist who developed the theory of behaviorism. Behaviorism views human behavior as responses to environmental stimuli and is learned through reinforcement or punishment. Skinner argued that behavior is shaped by consequences and that understanding behavior means examining relationships between actions and their effects. Key aspects of Skinner's theory included operant conditioning, the use of reinforcement to increase behaviors, and the view that language is learned through parental positive reinforcement of children's vocalizations. While behaviorism was influential, Skinner's theories were also criticized for overgeneralizing from limited experiments and not explaining more complex behaviors.

The document summarizes key aspects of the behaviorist learning theory, including the work of Ivan Pavlov on classical conditioning, John Watson's experiments on conditioning fear in children, and B.F. Skinner's research on operant conditioning using positive reinforcement. Behaviorism views learning as occurring through conditioning of behaviors in response to environmental stimuli and does not consider internal mental states. The theory influenced early classroom practices through use of reward systems but is limited in explaining higher-level thinking.
Behaviorism Theory of Learning
The document discusses the behaviorist theory of learning. [1] Behaviorism assumes that learning is influenced by environmental stimuli and responses are reinforced through positive and negative consequences. [2] Important behaviorist theorists include Ivan Pavlov, who studied classical conditioning in dogs, and B.F. Skinner, who developed operant conditioning using reinforcement and punishment. [3] Teachers can apply behaviorist principles by breaking tasks into small steps, providing clear instructions, and using positive reinforcement.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism is a learning theory that was dominant in the first half of the 20th century and emphasizes observable and measurable behaviors. Key figures in behaviorism include John B. Watson, who argued that psychology should only study objective behaviors, and B.F. Skinner, who studied how environments shape new learned behaviors through reinforcement. Behaviorism sees learning as changes in performance from adaptations to the environment through processes like shaping behaviors with cues and reinforcement.
B.F. Skinner by Kimone, Chloe & Danielle
B.F. Skinner was an American psychologist known for his work on operant conditioning. He invented the Skinner box to study behavior through positive and negative reinforcement. Using hungry rats in the Skinner box, Skinner found that they would learn to press a lever for food pellets, showing how positive reinforcement strengthens behaviors. Based on his experiments, Skinner developed the theory of operant conditioning, which argues that behaviors are shaped by their consequences in the environment rather than free will.
Behaviorist perspective
This document discusses behaviorism and how learning affects behavior according to behaviorist principles. It begins by defining behaviorism as focusing on learning as a change in external behavior achieved through repetition, rewards, and discouragement of bad habits. It then covers the major behaviorist theorists like Pavlov, Thorndike, Watson, and Skinner and their key contributions to classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves stimulus-response learning while operant conditioning involves reinforcement and punishment influencing behavior. The document discusses different types of reinforcement schedules and the dangers of overusing punishment in learning.
Behaviourism Learning Theory
1) The document discusses the Behavioral Learning Theory, including its origins with philosophers like Aristotle and experiments by psychologists like Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner.
2) Key aspects of the theory are classical and operant conditioning, where associations are made between stimuli and responses.
3) The theory influenced education and John B. Watson saw potential for applying conditioning principles in the classroom. Conditioning could help associate positive emotions with learning.
Behthr
The document discusses three types of behavioral learning theories: contiguity theory, classical conditioning theory, and operant conditioning theory. Contiguity theory proposes that stimuli and responses connected in time and space will be associated. Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. Operant conditioning examines how consequences impact voluntary behaviors. Examples are provided for each theory and how they could apply in classroom learning.
B.F. Skinner
Burrus Frederic Skinner was an American psychologist who was a proponent of operant conditioning. He received his BA from Hamilton College and his masters and doctorate from Harvard. He is known for his work studying animal and human behavior through positive and negative reinforcement using devices like the Skinner Box. Some of his contributions include developing schedules of reinforcement and the technique of shaping behaviors. His work showed how behaviors are learned and reinforced through their consequences, which had important implications for understanding human learning and behavior.
Behaviorism
behavioral theory formed the basis of most of the learning theory applied in child rearing and in classrooms. Parents and teachers still find that, in many instances, individuals do learn when provided with the appropriate blend of stimuli, rewards, negative reinforcement, and punishments. Especially with small children and simpler tasks, behavioral principles are often effective.
Eventually, however, educators began to feel that although stimulus-response does explain many human behaviors and has a legitimate place in instruction, behaviorism alone was not sufficient to explain all the phenomena observed in learning situations. The teacher’s are able to use this approach but they have to consider about the weaknesses and try to solve the weaknesses.
Classical Conditioning Theory of Learning
This slide will help learners to understand basics of classical conditioning theory given by Pavlov. It is among one of the initial learning theories.
Behaviorist Theory
Behaviorism is based on three key ideas:
1) Behavior is determined by external stimuli in one's environment.
2) Behavior can be observed and predicted over time.
3) Desirable behaviors can be encouraged through rewards while undesirable behaviors can be discouraged through consequences or punishment.
Skinner learning theory
Skinner developed the theory of operant conditioning to explain how behaviors are strengthened or weakened based on their consequences. He identified reinforcement, punishment, and extinction as processes that influence whether behaviors increase or decrease. Skinner argued that behaviors can be shaped through differential reinforcement by gradually moving an organism closer to a desired behavior. Behavior modification techniques apply operant conditioning principles to change behaviors by reinforcing wanted actions and reducing unwanted ones.
The behaviourist theory of learning
The document discusses the behaviorist theory of learning proposed by theorists Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, and John Watson. Pavlov is known for his experiments with Pavlov's dogs and the concept of classical conditioning. Skinner introduced operant conditioning and the Skinner box. Watson proposed the theory of behaviorism and conducted experiments on conditioning emotions, such as with Little Albert. The behaviorist theory views learning as the acquisition of behaviors based on environmental stimuli and reinforcement or punishment.
Behaviorism
The document discusses behaviorism and its application to education. It defines behaviorism as the idea that behavior is acquired through conditioning using stimuli and responses that are reinforced. The two types of conditioning are classical and operant conditioning. Behaviorism influenced educational theorists like B.F. Skinner and John B. Watson. In classrooms, behaviorism is seen through objective-driven instruction, individual work, and use of reinforcement systems. Both benefits and limitations are noted in strictly applying behaviorist principles to learning.

Behaviorism (john b watson)
- Behaviorism is a theory of learning that states all behaviors are acquired through conditioning in response to environmental stimuli, not innate mental processes. It was founded by John B. Watson based on Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning experiments.
- Watson's famous Little Albert experiment in 1920 demonstrated that emotions like fear could be classically conditioned in humans by pairing a neutral stimulus (a white rat) with an unpleasant stimulus (a loud noise). The child then showed a conditioned fear response to the rat alone.
- Core assumptions of behaviorism are that learning can be studied objectively through observation of stimulus-
classical conditioning & operant conditioning
Classical and operant conditioning are two theories of learning explained in the document. Classical conditioning deals with involuntary responses and pairing stimuli to elicit responses. Operant conditioning focuses on voluntary behaviors and how reinforcement and punishment modify the likelihood of behaviors. Key figures who developed these theories include Ivan Pavlov, John Watson, and B.F. Skinner. Their work showed how environmental stimuli and consequences shape observable behaviors.
Behaviorism learning theory
The behaviorism learning theory proposes that learning is based on conditioning responses to external stimuli without internal mental states. Major contributors included Ivan Pavlov who developed classical conditioning by conditioning a dog's salivation response, and B.F. Skinner who used operant conditioning to shape animal behavior through reinforcement or punishment. Behaviorism can be applied in classrooms by rewarding positive behaviors and eliminating negative ones, and in educational software through visual and audio cues that positively reinforce correct answers and negatively reinforce incorrect ones.
BF Skinner- Operant Conditioning
B.F. Skinner developed the theory of operant conditioning based on Edward Thorndike's law of effect. Operant conditioning is a learning process where voluntary behaviors are strengthened if followed by reinforcement or weakened if followed by punishment. Skinner used operant chambers to study how animals learn through consequences. Different reinforcement schedules, like continuous or partial reinforcement, produce different learning and performance rates. Accidental reinforcement can also cause superstitious behaviors. Punishment should only be used under certain circumstances. Operant conditioning principles can be applied to areas like education, work, and parenting.
John watson (1)
This document provides biographical information about John Broadus Watson, the founder of behaviorism. It summarizes that Watson grew up poor in South Carolina and received his master's degree from Furman University at age 21. In 1913, he published his behaviorist manifesto arguing that psychology should focus only on observable behaviors. He is best known for his "Little Albert" experiment in 1920 which demonstrated classical conditioning by conditioning an infant to fear a white rat. The document provides context on behaviorism and influences on Watson's work such as Ivan Pavlov.
Little Albert
The document summarizes an experiment conducted by John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner in 1920 where they attempted to condition fear in an infant named Albert B. through associating a white rat with a loud noise. The study is widely cited but details are often misrepresented in textbooks. The summary examines distortions over time and aims to look more closely at the actual methodology and results in light of modern learning theories.

Psychology as the behaviorist views it
This document summarizes John B. Watson's 1913 paper arguing that psychology should be a purely objective experimental science focused on predicting and controlling observable behavior, without reference to introspection or consciousness. Watson asserts that introspection is an unreliable method and that psychology has failed to establish itself as an undisputed natural science due to its focus on consciousness. He advocates adopting the methods of experimental biology to study behavior objectively across species, without needing to interpret results in terms of human consciousness.
Behaviorism Theory
The document discusses behaviorism, a theory developed in the early 20th century that focuses on observable behaviors and rejects the study of internal mental states. It explains that behaviorism is based on conditioning through reinforcement and was influenced by the work of Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner. The document then provides examples of how behaviorism can be applied in educational settings through reinforcing desirable behaviors and discouraging undesirable ones.
Behaviorism
The behaviorism theory views learning as a process where behaviors are strengthened through positive reinforcement or weakened through punishment in response to environmental stimuli. Key aspects of this theory include: teacher-centered instruction, a focus on observable and measurable behaviors, and the idea that all behaviors are influenced by external factors. In the classroom, this means highly structured lessons, positive and negative consequences for behaviors, breaking skills into small units, and using models to encourage learning. The theory aims to directly shape student behaviors and skills through reinforcement and discipline.
Behaviorist perspective report
The behaviorist perspective states that human behavior is learned through interaction with the environment rather than innate. Behaviorism focuses on observable and measurable behaviors and how they are learned through conditioning and reinforcement. Key contributors to behaviorism include Pavlov, Thorndike, Watson, and Skinner. Skinner's operant conditioning emphasized how behaviors are reinforced or punished, shaping what behaviors are learned. Neobehaviorism incorporated some cognitive elements, exemplified by Tolman's purposive behaviorism and Bandura's social learning theory, which described observational learning.
John watson theories - Sarah
John B. Watson was an American psychologist who is considered the founder of behaviorism. He believed that human behavior is a result of conditioning through interaction with the environment, rather than internal mental states. Watson conducted controversial experiments, including one known as the "Little Albert" experiment where he conditioned a baby to fear a white rat. The experiment demonstrated that emotions like fear can be classically conditioned. Watson's ideas influenced early childhood education, as practitioners began observing how children respond to stimuli and reinforce behaviors through praise and rewards.
Little Albert Experiment
John B. Watson and his assistant Rosalie Rayner conducted an experiment on a 9-month old boy called Little Albert to study emotional learning and stimulus generalization. They showed Albert neutral stimuli like a white rat while making a loud noise, causing him to become afraid of the rat and other similar objects. Unfortunately, they returned Albert to his mother without undoing the conditioning, and he died at age 6 still fearful without understanding why. The experiment supported Watson's behaviorist theory that all behaviors are learned through conditioning and reinforcement.
Gagne’s theory of instruction revised
Robert Gagne's theory of instruction outlines five types of learning and nine instructional events that should be included when designing effective lessons. The five types of learning are verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and attitudes. The nine instructional events are gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, stimulating recall, presenting stimuli, providing learning guidance, eliciting performance, providing feedback, assessing performance, and enhancing retention and transfer. Gagne believed lessons should be tailored to students and actively involve them to improve motivation and focus. The theory provides guidance for teachers to identify learning outcomes, consider contextual factors, and employ a variety of instructional strategies.
Behavioural psychology
Behavioral psychology focuses on laboratory experiments studying learning through conditioning and environmental influences. Key figures include Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, John Watson, and Harry Harlow who conducted experiments on animals. While informative, behavioral research risks being reductionist, deterministic, and not accounting for gender and cultural differences in experiences. The ethics and issues with animal research also require consideration.
Robert Gagne: Learning and Instruction
Robert Gagne was an experimental psychologist known for developing the theory of instruction which consists of five types of learning and nine events of instruction. His theory emphasizes building instruction on a hierarchy of simple to complex skills. The nine events include gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, stimulating recall of prior learning, presenting new material, providing guidance, eliciting performance, providing feedback, assessing performance, and enhancing retention and transfer.
Cognitivism
This document discusses the cognitivist approach to learning. Key aspects of cognitivism include viewing learning as involving mental processes like thinking and problem-solving. Cognitivists see knowledge as mental constructs or schemas. Learning is defined as changes in these schemas. The document provides examples of how cognitivist techniques can be applied with and without technology in both teaching and learning. These include using pictures, activities, movies, and simulations to help students build mental models and change their schemas.
Gagne's Learning Theories
This document discusses Robert Gagne and his contributions to instructional design and science education. It specifically focuses on Gagne's taxonomy of learning outcomes, which includes five major categories: verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and attitudes. The document also discusses Gagne's learning hierarchy, which proposes that learners must master lower-level prerequisites before moving to higher-level learning. Finally, the document compares procedural task analysis to hierarchical task analysis and outlines Gagne's nine events of instruction. The overall purpose is to introduce students to Gagne's influential instructional theories and how they can be applied to science teaching.
Gagnes Cognitive Theory
Robert Gagne was an American psychologist known for his theory of instruction, which outlines nine instructional events that are important for learning. These events include gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, stimulating recall of prior knowledge, presenting new material, providing guidance, eliciting performance, providing feedback, assessing performance, and enhancing retention and transfer. Gagne also proposed a hierarchy of five different types of learning outcomes of increasing complexity, from simple stimulus-response learning to more complex problem solving. His work provided a framework for instructional design based on understanding internal learning processes.
Psychology of Learning
Learning is a continuous process that involves acquiring knowledge, skills, and adapting to one's environment through changes in behavior. It can occur consciously or unconsciously through experiences. There are several theories that describe the learning process, such as reinforcement theory and social learning theory. The learning process typically involves receiving information, accepting it, assimilating it, storing it, and applying it. Effective learning principles include ensuring the content is relevant and motivating, providing feedback, and using active, multi-sensory techniques that incorporate repetition and practice.
Psychology Concept And Education Psychology
Education psychology is the study of human behavior and learning in educational settings. It draws from the fields of psychology and education to understand how people learn and improve educational outcomes. Some key areas it focuses on are the learner/student, the teacher, and the teaching and learning process. Education psychology provides teachers with knowledge of learning theories and principles to effectively guide students' development and behavior in the classroom. It also gives insights into student nature and needs to help teachers motivate students and build positive relationships that support learning.
Behaviorism
The document provides an overview of the behavioral (learning) approach. It discusses the major theories of learning put forth by behavioral psychologists, including classical conditioning proposed by Pavlov, operant conditioning by Thorndike and Skinner, and observational learning. It also outlines the key figures in the development of behaviorism from Watson to Bandura and Rotter. Finally, it discusses applications of behaviorism to education, including the use of reinforcement and punishment in the classroom.
Cognitivism
Cognitivism focuses on internal mental processes of learning rather than outward behaviors. It developed in reaction to behaviorism which ignored thinking. Theorists like Paivio, Gagne, and Gardner contributed key concepts - Paivio's dual coding theory emphasized visual and verbal learning; Gagne identified five types of learning and principles for instruction; Gardner proposed multiple intelligences. Under cognitivism, teachers should create engaging environments, ask questions, and use varied teaching methods while students think deeply to develop understanding.

Thorndike's law of effect formed the basis of operant conditioning, showing that behaviors followed by pleasant consequences are likely to be repeated. Behaviorism views the mind as a blank slate shaped entirely by environmental influences through reinforcement and punishment, and seeks to understand behavior objectively through empirical study and controlled experiments using both human and animal subjects.
Operant Conditioning
This document discusses operant conditioning and how it influences learning and behavior. It defines operant conditioning as a method of learning through reinforcement and punishment. Behaviors are strengthened when followed by positive reinforcement or escape from negative reinforcement, and weakened when followed by punishment. The document uses B.F. Skinner's experiments with rats in a Skinner Box as a classic example of how operant conditioning shapes behavior through variable schedules of reinforcement and punishment.
Behaviourism.pptx
The document provides an overview of behaviorist theory of learning. It discusses some key aspects of behaviorism, including:
- Behaviorist theory uses rewards and punishments to control student behavior and teach new skills. It was popular in the early 20th century but is now less respected than other theories.
- Behaviorism views learning as being shaped by external factors in the environment through conditioning, focusing on observable behaviors rather than internal mental processes.
- Important early behaviorist psychologists who contributed to the theory are mentioned, including Pavlov, Skinner, Thorndike, and Watson.
Behaviourist model of abnormality AS
This document provides an overview of behaviorism, including the key concepts of classical and operant conditioning. It summarizes Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning experiments with dogs, in which he found that dogs would salivate in response to a tone alone after pairing the tone with food several times. It also discusses Edward Thorndike's experiments on operant conditioning using reward and punishment in a "Skinner box." The document outlines the key assumptions of behaviorism, such as the "blank slate" view of human nature and the focus on observable behavior. It applies behaviorist concepts to explain abnormal behaviors like depression, drug addiction, and phobias.
Behaviourism.pptx
This document discusses behaviorism and its key theorists and principles. Behaviorism believes that learning is based on external stimuli that elicit responses, which are strengthened or weakened by rewards and punishments (1). Theorists like Pavlov and Skinner contributed influential ideas, such as classical and operant conditioning (2). Classical conditioning associates neutral stimuli to elicit innate responses, while operant conditioning shapes behaviors through voluntary responses to stimuli (3).

The document discusses the behaviorist perspective in psychology. It focuses on classical conditioning, explaining how Ivan Pavlov discovered that dogs could associate food with other stimuli like bells through conditioning. An example is provided of a girl, Laura, who becomes fearful of her doctor's surgery after a negative experience of getting a vaccination there, showing how classical conditioning can explain the development of phobias. The behaviorist perspective is evaluated, noting that it reduces behavior to stimulus-response explanations without considering other factors, and that results from animal studies may not generalize well to human behavior.
1 -behavourist_classcial_sc
The document discusses the behaviorist perspective in psychology. It focuses on classical conditioning, describing Ivan Pavlov's experiment with dogs and explaining how organisms learn associations between stimuli and responses. An example is given of a girl, Laura, who becomes fearful of her doctor's surgery after receiving an unpleasant vaccination there, demonstrating how classical conditioning can explain the development of phobias through learned associations. The behaviorist perspective is evaluated, noting both its strengths in explaining conditioning and phobias, but also its limitations in oversimplifying behavior and reducing it to stimulus-response explanations alone.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism is the study of observable behavior and contends that internal mental states cannot be directly studied. It influenced 20th century education. Classical conditioning explains how involuntary responses are learned through associations between stimuli and responses. Operant conditioning explains how voluntary behaviors are shaped by consequences like reinforcement and punishment. Behaviorists like Pavlov and Skinner conducted experiments to better understand these learning processes and their implications for teaching.
Behaviorism
1) Classical conditioning can cause test anxiety when a teacher says "tests are coming" (neutral stimulus) and students feel stressed (unconditioned response). Through repeated pairings, just hearing "tests" causes stress (conditioned response).
2) Using positive reinforcement, a teacher praises a student for on-task behavior (behavior), increasing the likelihood they'll repeat it.
3) A teacher uses negative reinforcement by allowing a disruptive student to leave time-out early (removal of an unpleasant stimulus) when they calm down (behavior), increasing calm behavior.
UNITS TWO APPROACES 1 BEHAVIOURISM (1) [Autosaved].pptx
This document provides an overview of key topics in psychology including theoretical perspectives and approaches to learning. It discusses several theories of learning including:
- Classical conditioning as proposed by Pavlov including the three phases of conditioning and principles like extinction.
- Instrumental conditioning studied by Thorndike including his puzzle box experiments with cats and laws of learning like the law of effect.
- Operant conditioning developed by Skinner using controlled environments like Skinner boxes. Key concepts discussed are reinforcement, punishment, and their effects on behavior.
- Educational implications are also highlighted for various theories including the importance of discrimination, generalization of learning, and ensuring consequences are pleasant to strengthen behaviors. The document covers major theories to understand human learning
Behaviorism
Behaviorism is a learning theory that focuses on observable behaviors and discounts internal mental states. It views learning as the formation of associations between stimuli and responses through reinforcement or punishment. The major theorists were Pavlov, Thorndike, Watson, and Skinner. Pavlov studied classical conditioning where neutral stimuli become associated with innate responses. Thorndike and Skinner examined operant conditioning, where behaviors are shaped by their consequences. Behaviorism emphasizes objectively observable behaviors and their environmental causes, and was highly influential in early 20th century education.
Classical & Operant Conditioning.pptx
This document provides an overview of classical and operant conditioning. It discusses classical conditioning, including Pavlov's experiment with dogs, the components of classical conditioning (unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response), and key principles like acquisition, extinction, and stimulus generalization. It then covers operant conditioning, explaining that it involves associating behaviors with consequences through reinforcement or punishment. It discusses B.F. Skinner's pioneering work in this area and concepts like primary and secondary reinforcers as well as different reinforcement schedules used to teach behaviors.
Learning
The document discusses different types of learning including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning, noting that learning allows organisms to adapt to their environments through changes in behavior from experience; it also examines concepts such as reinforcement, punishment, and modeling behavior which are important aspects of how learning occurs.
Theory Of Learning (Psychology)
This document provides an overview of several theories of learning, including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. Classical conditioning refers to learning associations between stimuli and responses, as demonstrated by Pavlov's dogs learning to salivate to a tone that was paired with food. Operant conditioning refers to learning through reinforcement and punishment of behaviors, as studied by Thorndike and Skinner. Observational learning occurs when observing the behaviors of others, as shown by Bandura's Bobo doll experiment. The document also discusses insight learning, latent learning, and different reinforcement schedules used to shape behaviors.
PSY101 Week 2 Learning
This document provides an overview of learning concepts from a psychology course. It defines learning and describes the key types of learning - classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. Operant conditioning is based on consequences influencing behavior - reinforcement increases a behavior while punishment decreases it. Examples are given of classical conditioning experiments by Pavlov and Watson, as well as B.F. Skinner's research on operant conditioning using positive and negative reinforcement in operant chambers.
Learning
This document defines and discusses different types of learning including trial and error learning, insight learning, imitation/observation, and cognitive learning. It also covers classical and operant conditioning, including definitions of key concepts like unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, and conditioned response. Factors that influence learning are discussed, including motivation, reward and punishment, interest, group participation, familiarity, meaningfulness, and amount of material.
Classical conditioning
Classical conditioning is a type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a new conditioned response. Some key points:
- Ivan Pavlov's famous experiment with dogs demonstrated classical conditioning, where dogs learned to salivate at the sound of a bell previously associated with food.
- Classical conditioning involves three stages - initially the unconditioned stimulus naturally elicits an unconditioned response; then the neutral stimulus is paired with the unconditioned stimulus to condition a new response; finally the conditioned stimulus alone elicits the conditioned response.
- Real-world examples of classical conditioning include education, marketing, and addiction. However, it has limitations as not all learning is passive association and other factors like
Behaviorism
1. Behaviorism is the study of observable behavior and how it is shaped by environmental stimuli and consequences.
2. Classical conditioning involves forming associations between stimuli through learned involuntary responses. Ivan Pavlov's experiment with dogs demonstrated this.
3. B.F. Skinner developed operant conditioning which examines how voluntary behaviors are influenced by consequences like reinforcement and punishment.
Classical conditioning theory and social learning theory
Classical conditioning and social learning theory are two theories of learning. Classical conditioning involves associating an unconditioned stimulus that naturally elicits a response with a neutral stimulus so that the neutral stimulus eventually elicits the same response. Social learning theory proposes that people learn from observing others via attention, retention, and motivation. Bandura's Bobo doll experiment provided evidence that children's aggressive behavior can be influenced by observing and modeling adult behavior.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 1. BEHAVIORISM LEARNING THEORY KML 6023 PSYCHOLOGY OF LEARNING FOR INSTRUCTION Awang Jamalludin Fadzillah 15030157
- 2. Keywords • Classic Conditioning (Pavlov) • Operant Conditioning (Skinner) • Stimulus-Response(S-R) • Generalization, Discrimination, Extinction
- 3. Assumptions • All species of animals learn in similar (equal ways with the same guiding principles • Organisms are blank slates at birth • To understand learning processes, focus on stimulus and responses • Internal process should be excluded from the study of learning. • Learning is evidenced by a behavior change • Learning is a result of environmental events
- 4. What’s it About • Originated with the work of John B Watson(1878-1958) • Inspired by Pavlov’s Classical Conditioning. • Believed that psychology should not be concerned with the Mind of Mental process but Behavior. • Rejected INTROPECTION or Self Inspection as unreliable& unscientific BEHAVIOUR IS WHAT WE SEE & THEREFORE BEHAVIOUR IS WHAT WE STUDY
- 5. Behaviorist believe.. • Behavior should be studied because it could be dealt directly. • Mental events (thoughts, feelings, intentions, mental process) do not determine what we do. OUR BEHAVIOUR IS THE PRODUCT OF OUR CONDITIONING
- 6. Types of Conditioning.. • Classical conditioning: addresses learning of involuntary responses. For example when the smell of moms cooking makes our mouth water in delight • Operant conditioning: addresses learning of voluntary responses. For example when the sound of a school bell a makes us run to avoid being caught by school prefects or the principal
- 7. Watson Experiments.. • Watson and Rosalie Rayner (1920) experimented on CLASSIC CONDITIONING • Believed that human emotion product of heredity & experience • We inherit 3 emotions (FEAR/RAGE/LOVE) • Through Conditioning, these emotions become attached to different thing for different people. • Any human can be conditioned to do anything regardless of attitude, abilities or experience. • Involved an 11month old infant Albert and a white rat.
- 8. Little Albert Before Conditioning White Rat (US) No Fear touch(UR) During Conditioning White Rat (US) + Cries avoids touching (UR) Loud NOISE !!! (US) After Conditioning White Rat (CS) Cries avoids touching (CR) Not Little Albert
- 9. Classical Conditioning Examples • Hear bee sounds (US) No Fear (UR) • Bee Sound (US)+Stung(CS) Pain + Fear/cringe (UR) • Bee Sound (CS) Fear /cringe (CR) Other things that freak me out.. Guys with bush cutters.. Whats Yours? Generalization (all flying insects) Discrimination(just bees) Extinction (over time with UR) Get over it
- 10. Skinner Experiments.. • Testing Watson’s and Pavlov’s theories • Rejected that organisms are passive and no control whether to act or not to act. • OPERANT CONDITIONING – states we choose to behave because it brings about certain consequences(+ve/-ve) • Does not agree that emotions or feelings play any part in determine behavior • REINFORCEMENTS are defined as any event (stimulus) that increases the probability of Response. REINFORCEMENT PUNISHMENT Positive (you do = reward) Negative (you don’t want = so you do) If you do = Youre gonna get it (so wont do again)
- 11. Skinner’s Box
- 12. Skinner’s Box • Hungry mouse in a box with bar connected to food dispenser Mouse touch bar (US) Food comes out (+ve reinforcement) Mouse repeatedly touch bar more Food comes out (+ve) Removes Food Dispenser Mouse touch bar (CS) again No food (-ve reinforcement) (removed) Mouse repeatedly touch bar no Food comes out …(-ve) Mouse undergoes extinction with no reinforcement . Stops touching Replace Food Dispenser Mouse touch bar Food comes out (+ve) in lesser time Mouse has LEARNED to “operate” Classic Conditioning Operant Conditioning
- 13. Skinner’s Box Mouse sees red light(stimuli) touch bar Gets shocked!(PUNISHED) Mouse sees green lights touch bar Gets food (+ve) Mouse sees red light Resents from doing anything to avoid being “Punished”. Mouse sees green light (stimuli) touch bar(behavior) Gets food(+ve) Goes on using lights (stimulus) and electric shocks(PUNISHMENT) and food(+ve reinforcement)
- 14. Operant Conditioning Examples • Positive Reinforcement – Do well in your work ..BONUS • Negative Reinforcement – Seat Belt Warning Buzzer/Sound • PUNISHMENT- You don’t Finish your work, No Ice Cream
- 15. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy_mIEnnlF4 • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWyZHSZf3TM A few more examples
- 16. Lets Discuss… Mimi’s wassapp image
- 17. What these Experiment Shows • OUR EMOTIONAL REACTIONS CAN BE REARRANGED THROUGH CLASSICAL & OPERANT CONDITIONING • EMOTIONS SUCH AS FEAR COULD BE ‘TRANSFERRED’ TO AN ORGANISM SIGNIFICANCE • It implies if fear is learned, it is possible to unlearn or extinguish them (Hergenhahn & Olson 1997) • In clinical psychology, conditioning used for curing Phobias or anxiety disorders, fear of an object or situation
- 18. Learning Application • the teacher MUST be active in getting the behavior they wish from their students. • if the teacher is not actively involved, they will not regularly see the behavior they wish or be certain the behavior was learned. • if a student does not learn (demonstrate the behavior) then the teacher did not teach it.
