Circle: If you needed a recommendation from a teacher in this school who would ask and why?

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.

Definition of Observational Learning: Learning by observing others.

Practice: Classical or Operant Conditioning?  Reinforcement Schedules.  Negative Reinforcement.  Aversive Stimulus

Kahoot: Learning

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?

Note cards:  Below is a list of terms that you will need to know for the AP Psych Exam.  Each note card should have the term on the front.  Then, on the back you need to A) define the term and B) show application of the term.  This application can sometimes best be expressed as a personal example.  You can also draw the application of the term if you so desire.
