| Description: | How Do We Learn? OBJECTIVE 1 | Define learning, and identify two forms of learning. Classical Conditioning OBJECTIVE 2 | Define classical conditioning and behaviorism, and describe the basic components of classical conditioning. OBJECTIVE 3 | Describe the timing requirements for the initial learning of a stimulus-response relationship. OBJECTIVE 4 | Summarize the processes of extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination. OBJECTIVE 5 | Discuss the survival value of generalization and discrimination. OBJECTIVE 6 | Discuss the importance of cognitive processes in classical conditioning. OBJECTIVE 7 | Describe some of the ways that biological predispositions can affect learning by classical conditioning. OBJECTIVE 8 | Summarize Pavlov's contribution to our understanding of learning. OBJECTIVE 9 | Describe some uses of classical conditioning to improve human health and well-being. Operant Conditioning OBJECTIVE 10 | Identify the two major characteristics that distinguish classical conditioning from operant conditioning. OBJECTIVE 11 | State Thorndike's law of effect, and explain its connection to Skinner's research on operant conditioning. OBJECTIVE 12 | Describe the shaping procedure, and explain how it can increase our understanding of what animals and babies can discriminate. OBJECTIVE 13 | Compare positive and negative reinforcement, and give one example each of a primary reinforcer, a conditioned reinforcer, an immediate reinforcer, and a delayed reinforcer. OBJECTIVE 14 | Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of continuous and partial (intermittent) reinforcement schedules, and identify four schedules of partial reinforcement. OBJECTIVE 15 | Discuss the ways negative punishment, positive punishment, and negative reinforcement differ, and list some drawbacks of punishment as a behavior-control technique. OBJECTIVE 16 | Explain how latent learning and the effect of external rewards demonstrate that cognitive processing is an important part of learning. OBJECTIVE 17 | Explain how biological predispositions place limits on what can be achieved through operant conditioning. OBJECTIVE 18 | Describe the controversy over Skinner's views of human behavior. OBJECTIVE 19 | Describe some ways to apply operant conditioning principles at school, in sports, at work, and at home. OBJECTIVE 20 | Identify the major similarities and differences between classical and operant conditioning. Learning by Observation OBJECTIVE 21 | Describe the process of observational learning, and explain the importance of the discovery of mirror neurons. OBJECTIVE 22 | Describe Bandura's findings on what determines whether we will imitate a model. OBJECTIVE 23 | Discuss the impact of prosocial modeling. OBJECTIVE 24 | Explain why correlations cannot prove that watching violent TV causes violent behavior, and cite some experimental evidence that helps dem |
