Circle: Dice game.

Point to remember: This is the beginning of the behavioral branch of psychology!

Homework Due: SQ3R 300-309 Thursday for possibly a quiz grade.  It will either a 50 or 100 if I decide to do it.

Psychological Definition of Learning: A relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience. 

Definition of Classical Conditioning: We learn to associate two stimuli and thus to anticipate events.

Definition of Operant Conditioning: Organisms associate their own actions with consequences.  Actions followed by reinforcers increase; those followed by punishment often decrease.

Questions:

What are some basic forms of learning?

What is classical conditioning, and how did Pavlov’s work influence behaviorism?

In classical conditioning, what are the processes of acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination?

Why is Pavlov’s work important?

What is operant conditioning, and how does it differ from classical conditioning?

What are the basic types of reinforcers?

How do different reinforcement schedules affect behavior?

How does punishment affect behavior?

Do cognitive processes and biological constraints affect operant conditioning?

What is observational learning, and how is it enabled by mirror neurons?
