Phobias and Conditioning
Phobias are
irrational fears of
specific objects,
animals, or
situations
People acquire
phobias through
conditioning

Classical Conditioning
A learning procedure in
which subjects make
associations between a
natural stimulus and a
neutral stimulus
Ivan Pavlov
Tuning fork/salivation

The Experiment
A neutral stimulus
can replace a
natural stimulus if
it’s presented just
before that stimulus
Food =
unconditioned
stimulus (US)
Salivation =
unconditioned
response (UR)

Other Terms
Conditioned stimulus
(CS) = tuning fork
Salivation =
conditioned response
(CR)
Conditioned
responses are
learned, not natural or
reflexive

Classical Conditioning: More Terminology
Trial = pairing of UCS and CS
Acquisition = initial stage in learning
Stimulus contiguity = occurring together in time and space
3 types of Classical Conditioning
– Simultaneous conditioning: CS and UCS begin and end together
– Short-delayed conditioning: CS begins just before the UCS, end
together
– Trace conditioning: CS begins and ends before UCS is presented

Principles of
Classical Conditioning
Acquisition of a conditioned response occurs
gradually
Timing is very important
The intensity of the US

Generalization
Occurs when a subject
responds to a second
stimulus similar to the
original (CS) without
any conditioning
Table

Discrimination
The ability to respond differently to different stimuli
Generalization and discrimination are each a part of
everyday life
Slide # 19

Extinction
The gradual weakening and eventual disappearance
of a conditioned response
The response disappears but is not forgotten
(spontaneous recovery)
Reconditioning

Operant Conditioning or Instrumental
Learning
Edward L. Thorndike (1913) – the law of effect –
puzzle box and learning curve
B.F. Skinner (1953) – principle of reinforcement
– Operant chamber – “Skinner Box”
– Emission of response
– Reinforcement contingencies – antecedents, behaviors, and
consequences (ABC)
– Cumulative recorder – F 6.13b

Consequences: Reinforcement and
Punishment
Increasing a response:
– Positive reinforcement = response followed by rewarding
stimulus
– Negative reinforcement = response followed by removal of
an aversive stimulus
• Escape learning
• Avoidance learning
Decreasing a response:
– Punishment
– Problems with punishment – third variable problem and
correlation between punishment and aggression – F 6.21

Observational Learning and the
Media Violence Controversy
Studies demonstrate that exposure to TV and
movie violence increases the likelihood of
physical aggression, verbal aggression,
aggressive thoughts, and aggressive emotions
The association between media violence and
aggression is nearly as great as the correlation
between smoking and cancer – F 6.26 – third
variable problem
