Major Phenomena of Classical Conditioning

  • Acquisition

– CR to CS Reinforced by US – Response Gains Strength

  • Magnitude of CR
  • Probability of CR

Major Phenomena of Classical Conditioning

  • Acquisition
  • Extinction
  • Spontaneous Recovery

– Rest After Extinction – Retest CS alone

Re-Acquisition of Extinguished Response CS ==> US

Extinction Below Zero

  • Extinction Trials Continued After CR

Disappears Entirely

  • Reduced Spontaneous Recovery
  • Less Savings in Relearning

– Slower Reacquisition

slide-18

Major Phenomena of Classical Conditioning

  • Acquisition
  • Extinction

– Extinction Below Zero

  • Spontaneous Recovery
  • Re-Acquisition

– CS Reinforced by US – Savings in Relearning

SLIDE 19

Implications of Savings and Spontaneous Recovery

  • Conditioned Response Not “Lost”
  • Rather, Inhibited or Suppressed

– In Line with Changing Circumstances

  • Conditioned Stimulus No Longer Reinforced
  • CR Can be Disinhibited

– In Line with Changing Circumstances

  • CS Reinforced Once Again

Major Phenomena of Classical Conditioning

  • Acquisition
  • Extinction
  • Spontaneous Recovery
  • Re-Acquisition

– CS0 vs. CS1…CSn – Generalization Gradient

Major Phenomena of Classical Conditioning

Significance of Classical Conditioning

  • Extends Control of Reflexes to Other

Environmental Events

– Associations between Events

  • Ubiquitous (Nervous System)
  • Pavlov: All Learning is Classical

Conditioning (?)

  • Laws of Classical Conditioning are the

Laws of Emotional Life

Instrumental Conditioning

(Operant Conditioning)

  • Learn Adaptive Behavior

– Through Experience of Success, Failure

  • Organism Operates on Environment

– Behavior Changes Environment

  • Behavior Instrumental

– Obtains Desired State of Affairs

  • Associations between Behaviors and

Outcomes

Instrumental Conditioning Procedure

  • Phase 1: Baseline Behavior
  • Phase 2: Acquisition Phase
  • Phase 3: Discrimination Learning
  • Phase 4: Extinction

Vocabulary of Instrumental Conditioning

  • Conditioned Response (No URs)
  • Conditioned Stimulus (No USs)
  • Reinforcement

– Positive – Negative (Not Punishment)

  • Acquisition
  • Extinction
  • Generalization
  • Discrimination

Schedules of Reinforcement

  • Continuous
  • Partial
  • Intermittent

– Fixed Ratio (FR) – Variable Ratio (VR) – Fixed Interval (FI) – Variable Interval (VI)

  • Differential Reinforcement

– Of Low Rates (DRL) – Of High Rates (DRH)

The Matching Law

Herrnstein (1970)

  • Concurrent VI Schedules

– Give Organism a Choice

  • Key A: VI3
  • Key B: VI1
  • Response Rate is Proportional to the

Frequency of Reinforcement

– Also Magnitude, Delay of Reinforcement

  • Basic Principle of Microeconomics

– Supply and Demand

  • Relative Value of Reinforcers

Significance of Instrumental Conditioning

  • Voluntary Behaviors Come Under

Control of Environmental Events

– Behavior-Outcome Associations

  • Ubiquitous (Vertebrates)
  • Thorndike, Skinner: All Learning is

Instrumental/Operant Conditioning (?)

  • Laws of Instrumental Conditioning Are

the Laws of Adaptive Behavior

– Habits – Incentives
