How do we learn? Most learning is associative learning Learning that certain events occur together. *Number Code Activity
Three Main Types of Learning 1-Classical Conditioning 2-Operant Conditioning 3-Observational Learning
Classical Conditioning It all started with: Ivan Pavlov http://www.learner.org/vod/vod_window.html?pid=1529 from 5:00-9:00
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response. Unconditional Response (UCR): the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the UCS.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS): an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with the UCS, comes to trigger a response. Conditioned Response (CR): the learned response to a previously neutral stimulus.
Classical Conditioning TRICKY FACT: We know learning exists because the CS is linked to the UCS. This is called ACQUISITION. Acquisition does not last forever. The moment the CS is no longer associated with the UCS, we have EXTINCTION.
Popular Example of Classical Conditioning See if you can identify the UCS, UCR, CS and CR?

You can classically condition your roommate
Pavlov spent the rest of his life outlining his ideas Pavlov spent the rest of his life outlining his ideas. He came up with 5 critical terms that together make up classical conditioning. Acquisition Extinction Spontaneous Recovery Generalization Discrimination
Spontaneous Recovery The reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response.
Generalization and Discrimination Something is so similar to the CS that you get a CR. Something so different to the CS so you do not get a CR.
Classical Conditioning and Humans John Watson brought Classical Conditioning to psychology with his Baby Albert experiment. Baby Albert clip 13:05-15:30
