1 Instrumental Conditioning

2 A Little History Thorndike –discrete trial procedure –outcome dependent on behavior –didn’t find imitative learning –first theory of instrumental learning

3 Thorndikes’ Law of Effect S-R associations are stamped in by reward (satisfiers) StimulusResponse

4 SR Thorndike’s Answer to “What is learned?” Reinforcement “stamps in” this connection

5 SR O Is This All That’s Learned? ? ?
