Background of BehaviorismBackground of Behaviorism
Pavlov: Conditioned Reflex If a neutral stimulus is paired with a non-neutral
stimulus, the organism will eventually respond to the neutral stimulus as it does to the non-neutral stimulus
Watson: Began the Foundation of American Behaviorism

E.L. Thorndike: Law of Effect Responses that lead to “satisfying” consequences
are more likely to be repeated than responses that lead to “unsatisfying” consequences
B.F. Skinner: Radical Behaviorism Everything a person does, says, and feels
constitutes behavior and can be subject to experimental analysis

Assumptions of Behavioral Psychology
Assumptions of Behavioral Psychology
The task of psychology is the study of behavior
Behavior can and must be both observable and measurable
The goal of psychology is the prediction and control of behavior
The real causes of behavior may be found outside rather than inside the organism

Operant Conditioning: The likelihood of a response is increased or
decreased by virtue of its consequences Contingency:
The association between action and consequences

Extinction: The elimination of a response by withdrawing
whatever reinforcer was maintaining it Generalization:
An organism responds to stimuli that are similar to a previously learned stimulus

Discrimination Learning: Learning to distinguish among similar stimuli
and to respond only to the appropriate one Shaping:
The reinforcement of “successive approximations” of a desired response
