Outline and evaluate the learning theory of attachment (12 marks) A GRADE (outline) The learning theory of attachment focuses of two concepts; operant and classical conditioning. Classical conditioning as an explanation for attachment describes the baby receiving food (and unconditioned stimulus) and producing an unconditioned response (happiness) and the mother feeding the baby will be the neutral stimulus. The baby will then experience the mother giving them food (and therefore happiness) a number
Premium Classical conditioning Operant conditioning Behaviorism
Classical conditioning refers to the involuntary responses that result from experiences that occur before a response. It occurs when you learn to associate two different stimuli. It involves a stimulus which has no affect and it is called the neutral stimulus. The neutral stimulus can be a person‚ place‚ or thing. The neutral stimulus‚ in classical conditioning‚ does not produce a response until it is paired with the unconditioned stimulus. For example‚ by shining a light into a person’s eye; the

Classical Conditioning and Phobias Classical conditioning is a type of learning‚ discovered by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov‚ which occurs between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. The first stage of classical conditioning involves placing an unconditioned stimulus which produces an unconditioned response in an organism. In basic terms this means that a stimulus in the environment has produced an unlearned behaviour or response which is natural and has not been taught

There are four primary conditioning theories of behaviorism. These four theories are Pavlov’s (1849-1936) classical conditioning‚ Thorndike’s (1874-1949) connectionism (also known as law of effect)‚ Guthrie ’s (1886-1959) contiguous conditioning‚ and Skinner’s (1904-1990) operant conditioning. According to the text (Shunk 2012) Classical conditioning was discovered around the beginning of the 20th century by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov was studying digestive process in dogs when he

Classical and operant conditioning are in relation to common phobias and present addictions Classical Conditioning vs. Operant Conditioning Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are learning styles associated with human behavior.

05/19/14 Angelique Grady Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are both related by one ’s behavior whether it is a condition that comes naturally or is one that has to be learned. There are two emotional difficulties which are linked to these types of conditioning. They are called phobias and addictions. Once these behaviors are reinforced anymore‚ it will lead to extinction. Classical conditioning is a procedure by which a previously neutral stimulus comes to

Operate Conditioning (Assignment 6) Operant conditioning is a type of learning in psychology‚ where behavior is controlled by negative or positive punishment. Main concepts in operant conditioning are: positive reinforcement‚ negative reinforcement‚ positive punishment and negative punishment. “We learn to repeat acts that bring rewards and to avoid acts that bring unwanted results” ➢ Reinforcement is used to keep or increase its constant repetition of a wanted behavior‚ while punishment is

Concept/Theory classical conditioning Explanation Studied by Pavlov‚ this is when one learns to associate and react to two stimuli. Originally an unconditioned stimulus‚ which provides a response without conditioning‚ leads to an unconditioned response‚ which is also unlearned. Conditioning occurs when the neutral stimuli is added along with the unconditioned stimulus. After the two stimuli are associated‚ the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus and produces a conditioned response

There are three main types of learning are classical conditioning (responding)‚ operant conditioning (acting)‚ and observational learning (observing). It is a nice spring day.
