PPT-Chapter 9 – Extinction of Conditioned Behavior

Outline Effects of Extinction Procedures Decreased responding Increased variability in responding Extinction of Original Learning Spontaneous Recovery Renewal of Original Excitatory Conditioning. Introduction to Psychology. Virginia Union University. Learning & Behavior. Learning. A relatively enduring or permanent change in behavior or knowledge that results from previous experience with certain stimuli and responses. What is Learning???. Learning is the modification through experiences of pre-existing behavior and understanding. We do this all the time, every day. How do we learn: Insight. In our youngest ages, we just kind of figure out how things work. Joanna Lomas Mevers, PhD, BCBA-D. . 1,2,3. ;. Nathan A. Call, PhD, BCBA-D . 1,2,3. ;. . Mindy . Scheithaeur. , PhD, BCBA . 1,2,3. ; .

"Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select -- doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief” – Albert Watson. Program Director. Functions of Behavior. There are four functions of behavior that have been found through research.. Attention, Escape, Automatic, and Access to Tangibles. Iwata created a Functional Analysis as a way to assess functions of behaviors. Steve Ward, MA, BCBA.

Escape/avoidance is the most common function of SIB (38.1%) (Iwata, et al, 1994). The acquisition of new knowledge, skills, or responses from experience that result in a relatively permanent change in the state of the learner. . Three types:. 1) Classical Conditioning. 2) Operant Conditioning. What is learning?. Process of acquiring through experience new information or behaviors. How do we learn?. Through association. : Certain events occur together (Classical conditioning); Stimuli that are not control are associated and response is automatic (respondent behavior) . Remember. Operant conditioning extinction differs from classical conditioning extinction. During extinction, responding decreases to baseline levels for both classical and operant conditioning. BUT: Operantly conditioned behavior shows:. Inclusive Education & Community Partnership. Kristin Hoefflin, MFT, BCBA. March 5, . 2014. Activity. How are Behaviors Established? . Behaviors serve a purpose (or function). When behaviors are reinforced, they increase. Conditioning. Associative Learning. Associative Learning . – . a form of conditioning in which the organism learns the . correlation . between two stimuli . (classical conditioning). , or between a response and stimulus . Learning (7-9%) . AP students in psychology should be able to do the following. :. • Distinguish general differences between principles of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning (e.g., contingencies)..
