BEHEVIORIS
T
PERSPECTIV
E
known as behavioral
psychology, is a theory
of learning which states
all behaviors are
learned through
interaction with the
environment through a
process called
conditioning. Thus,
behavior is simply a
response to
environmental stimuli.
What are the three
main theories within
the behaviorist
perspective?
BEHAVIORIST
New behaviors or changel in
behaviors are acquired
through association between
stimuli and responses.
COGNITIV
E
Information processing leads
to understanding and
retention.
CONSTRUCTIVI
ST
We construct our own
knowledge of the world
based on individual
experiences.
Classical
Conditioning
By Ivan Petrovitch Povlov/John Watson
Ivan Petrovitch
Povlov
September 26, 1849-February 27, 1936
He is a Russian physiologist known
primarily for his work in Classical
Conditioning.
John Broadus
Watson
January 09, 1878-September 25, 1958
He was an American psychologist.
He proposed that the process of Classical
Conditioning was able to explain all aspects of
human psychology.
WHAT IS
CLASSICAL
CONDITIONIN
G?
Classical
conditioning is a type
of learning that had a
major influence on the
school of thought in
psychology known as
behaviorism. Discovered
by Russian
physiologist Ivan Povlov.
TERMS TO
KNOW
1) STIMULUS- something that exists
in the surroundings or that
ispresented.
2) RESPONSE- how the animal
respond to the stimulus.
To understand Povlov’s Theory you
need
to know:
1)The Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
2)The Unconditioned Response (UR)
3)The Neutral Stimulus (NS)
4)The conditioned Stimulus (CS)
5)The Conditioned Responses (CR)
How
Classical
Conditioning
Works?
In order to understand how more
about how classical conditioning
works, it is important to become
familiar with the basic principles of
the process.
Phase 1: Before
Conditioning
The first part of the
classical conditioning
process requires a naturally
occurring stimulus that will
automatically elicit a
response.
Phase 2:
During
Conditioning
During the second phase of the
classical conditioning process,
the previously neutral stimulus
is repeatedly paired with the
unconditioned stimulus. As a
result of this pairing, an
association between the
previously neutral stimulus
and the UCS is formed.
Phase 3: After
Conditioning
Once the association has been made
between the UCS and the CS,
presenting the conditioned stimulus
alone will come to evoke a response
even without the unconditioned
stimulus. The resulting response is
known as the conditioned response
(CR)
