- Learning Theories
- Classical Conditioning - Pavlov
- Learning that occurs from continually pairing a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that produces a response
- Unconditioned stimulus
- the stimulus that produces the automatic response
- Unconditioned response
- the reflex that occurs automatically in response to the US
- Conditioned stimulus
- the neutral stimulus that gradually acquires the ability to produce the reflexive response after repeatedly being paired with the US
- Conditioned response
- The reflexive response that graudally occurs in response to the CS
- Behaviourism- Watson
- 1. observation of overt behaviour is the only way to evaluate personality
- 2. personality is the sum of observable behaviour
- 3. personality is determined by environmental factors
- Little Albert Study
- rat was NS, became CS and created CR
- Operant Conditioning - Skinner
- The consequences of a response affect the probability of a response being repeated
- based on Thorndike's (1905) law of effect, but introduced reinforcement
- Three types of response/operant can follow behaviour: neutral, reinforcers, punishers
- Reinforcement = encourages
- Punishment = discourages
- Positive = adding stimulus
- Negative = removing stimulus
- Can CC and OC explain personality development?
- suggest personality is merely the product of learned behaviours
- Skinner suggests that the term “personality” is redundant
- Ignores drives, needs, emotions and cognitions
- Classical Conditioning - Pavlov
