What is
Behaviorism?
Behaviorism is a theory of
learning based on the idea
that all behaviors acquired
through conditioniong, and
conditioning occurs
through interaction
through the environment.
Behaviorist
Ivan Pavlov
Edward Thorndike
IVAN PAVLOV
A Russian physiologist
best known in psychology
for his discovery of
classical conditioning.
1849-1936
Classical
Conditioning
learning that occurs when a
neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone)
becomes associated with a stimulus
(e.g., food) that naturally produces
a behaviour.
Unconditioned Stimulus
A stimulus or trigger that leads to
an automatic response.
Unconditioned Response
an automatic response or a
response that occurs without
thought when an unconditioned
stimulus is present.
Neutral Stimulus
a stimulus that doesn't initially
trigger a response on its own.
Conditioned Stimulus
the neutral stimulus becomes a
conditioned stimulus after being
paired with the unconditioned
stimulus multiple times.
Conditioned Response
The learned response to the
conditioned stimulus.
Key Principles of
Classical Conditioning
in Psychology
Acquisition
Acquisition is the initial stage of
learning, when a response is first
established and gradually
strengthened.
Extinction
Extinction is when the occurrences of a
conditioned response decrease or disappear.
Spontaneous Recovery
a learned response can suddenly reemerge,
even after a period of extinction.
Generalization
Stimulus generalization is the tendency for a
conditioned stimulus to evoke similar
responses after the response has been
conditioned.
Discrimination
Discrimination is the ability to differentiate
between a conditioned stimulus and other
stimuli that have not been paired with an
unconditioned stimulus.
Edward Thorndike
1874-1949
an influential psychologist
often referred to as the
founder of modern
educational psychology.
Connectionism
learning has taken place when a strong
connection or bond between stimulus and
response is form
Three Primary
Laws of
Connectionism
Law of Effect
Law of Excercise
Law of Readiness
Law of Effect
Responses that are followed by positive
consequences are more likely to be repeated,
while responses that are followed by negative
consequences are less likely to be repeated.
Law of Excercise
Learning occurs through repetition and
practice.
Law of Readiness
Learning is most effective when the learner
is ready to learn and is motivated to do so.
