Essay Questions

Demonstrate your understanding of Pavlov’s work by creating a scenario that involves simple classical conditioning. After you have written out your scenario, identify the neutral stimulus, the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), the unconditioned response (UCR), the conditioned stimulus (CS), and the conditioned response (CR).

Answer: The student should write out a scenario in story format and then identify each component of classical conditioning. For example:

Ella was studying for final exams one night and decided to get an espresso drink to help keep her awake. She ordered and drank a quadruple, caffeinated cappuccino. Now for some reason, whenever she passes a Starbucks, she feels jittery.

NS – Starbucks; UCS – way too much caffeine; UCR – feeling jittery; CS – Starbucks; CR – feeling jittery

Imagine a child sitting in a high chair at McDonald’s. The child is eating french fries and becomes frustrated because she has eaten all of them. Wishing to get more fries from her parents, she begins yelling. The parents are embarrassed at their child’s behavior. They decide to give her more french fries so she will stop yelling so loud in the middle of a restaurant. Discuss the two elements of operant conditioning that are present in this scenario.

Answer: From the child’s perspective, positive reinforcement is present in this scenario. Every time she yells, she is rewarded with a few french fries. Her yelling behavior is increased because she is getting french fries (rewards) for it.

By the same token, negative reinforcement is present from the parents’ perspective. The parent is embarrassed that her child is yelling in the middle of a restaurant. The parents want that unpleasant condition to stop. When the parents give the child a french fry, the quiet behavior increases. Therefore, the parents will continue to give the child a few fries whenever she yells. The unpleasant situation for the parent is the yelling and subsequent embarrassment the parent feels. The parent can remove that unwanted condition by giving the child french fries, which will result in an increase of quiet behavior from the child…for the time being.

One situation can be viewed from two different perspectives, thereby involving both positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement.

Compare and contrast negative reinforcement with punishment and give examples of each.

Answer: Negative reinforcement and punishment are similar in that they are both components of operant conditioning, a form of learning devised by B. F. Skinner. They also both have an effect on behavior. That, however, is where the similarities seem to end. Negative reinforcement is a type of reinforcement. By definition, any type of reinforcement will always increase the likelihood that a behavior will occur again. Therefore, negative reinforcement will likely increase behaviors. It can be done by removing an unpleasant stimulus or condition. For example, when a person gets into his/her car and begins to drive without putting on the seatbelt, an annoying buzz will usually come on to remind the driver that a seatbelt should be used. If the driver puts on the seatbelt, the annoying noise will stop. The behavior that is being increased is wearing a seatbelt. The negative reinforcer in this instance is the annoying buzz. If the annoying buzz (unpleasant stimulus) is removed, the seatbelt wearing behavior increases.

Punishment, on the other hand, is designed to decrease behaviors. If an undesirable behavior occurs, punishment can be used to reduce or eliminate that behavior. For example, if a teenager comes home past his/her curfew, the parents can use a removal of privileges as a punishment. They parents can tell the teen that he/she cannot use the car for two weeks (the punishment) as a way of decreasing the coming-home-past-curfew behavior.

In essence, negative reinforcement and punishment have the opposite effect. One increases behaviors while the other decreases behaviors.

One day as your professor is driving to work, another driver runs through a red light and hits his car. The professor is shaken up but survives the incident. However, the next time he starts to enter the intersection, he becomes nervous and fearful. Soon, he starts going to work via another route to avoid the intersection, even though this route adds twenty minutes to his commute in each direction.

According to the principles of classical conditioning, why does the professor become scared of the previously harmless intersection? What can he do about this, as going via the other route is very time consuming? Be specific.

Answer: The answer should identify the UCS, CS, UCR and CR and how they were paired. It should discuss how to extinguish the response.

Explain the concept of conditioned taste aversion and how it might be applied to people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments for cancer.

Answer: The answer should include biological predispositions to form strong aversions to food that are paired with feeling sick. The use of pairing non-favorite foods with chemotherapy to limit the aversion to foods that are liked in order to help maintain adequate nutrition and weight should be discussed.

Critical Thinking Questions

Why does the definition of learning have to include the phrase “relatively permanent change” in knowledge, behavior, or attitude?

Answer: If we truly learn something, then that “new thing” (whether it is a behavior, attitude, or knowledge) becomes part of who we are. Merely experiencing something once or twice does not constitute learning. These fleeting experiences would be considered transient or chance occurrences. If the “new thing” sticks, if you will, then it is more likely considered to be learning.

Why would an infant’s blinking not be an accurate example of a skill one acquires through learning?

Answer: Blinking is a reflex that humans are born with; it is not acquired through learning. Our brains are programmed to blink as a way to protect our eyes. In order for a behavior or skill to be an accurate example of learning, it cannot be one that is a reflex or one that develops through maturation (biologically programmed development/behavior).

Though Pavlov’s classical conditioning and Skinner’s operant conditioning are both forms of learning, what is it that makes them different?

Answer: Pavlov’s classical conditioning is considered a passive form of learning in that the subject is not really aware that the learning is occurring. The two stimuli are associated through repeated pairings and then the organism reflexively responds to that particular stimulus. Operant conditioning, on the other hand, is an active type of learning. Operant conditioning begins with a voluntary behavior and then the organism learns to engage in or not engage in that behavior again based on the consequence (reinforcement or punishment) that follows. Thus, though classical and operant conditioning are both forms of learning, one (classical conditioning) is a passive type whereas the other (operant conditioning) seems to be an active type.

Why do drug counselors strongly encourage those recovering from addictions to avoid the people and places from their past drug-using days?

Answer: Those particular people and places can, and often do, serve as environmental cues associated with the previous drug use. If we consider classical conditioning here, these cues (also called the conditioned stimuli) can produce irresistible cravings (also called the conditioned response). The presence of irresistible cravings can interfere with the goal of staying clean and sober. Thus, in order to help individuals through recovery, visiting people and places from the previous drug-using days are strongly discouraged.

Why is ecological relevance significant in classical conditioning?

Answer: Research has demonstrated that when a neutral stimulus has an authentic or genuine connection to an unconditioned stimulus, classical conditioning is much more likely to happen. Moreover, that conditioning will happen faster and will be more resistant to extinction.

Would negative reinforcement be a good choice to use when you see your toddler hitting your beloved family pet? Why or why not?

Answer: Seeing the toddler hit the pet is clearly an undesirable behavior. However, utilizing negative reinforcement increases the likelihood of a behavior happening again. Therefore, it is not the appropriate choice in this scenario. Using it would only strengthen that undesirable behavior.

Some individuals have erroneously learned over time that negative reinforcement is the same as punishment. Why is this inaccurate?

Answer: Negative reinforcement is type of reinforcement. Reinforcement, by definition, strengthens (or increases) the likelihood of a behavior happening again. Thus, whether it is positive or negative, reinforcement always strengthens behavior. Punishment, by definition, decreases behaviors. As you can see, reinforcement and punishment are actually opposites. Because it is impossible to both strengthen and weaken a target behavior, negative reinforcement and punishment are not the same. They actually have the opposite effect.

Why does physical punishment frequently lead to aggression?

Answer: The person being physically punished is also learning by observing. If an individual watches (or in this case is the recipient of) physical punishment, he/she is also learning that exact behavior. In essence, the punisher is teaching the individual being punished that the behavior is an option for solving problems or dealing with frustration.

Why is punishment by itself not a very effective way of learning?

Answer: Even though punishment can decrease undesirable behaviors, it does not teach the right thing to do or what to do instead. Additionally, Skinner contends that punishment suppresses misbehaviors, but does not eliminate them entirely.

Why was Albert Bandura’s follow up study of aggression (1963) so significant?

Answer: Bandura’s research found that the group of children who watched an aggressive adult on film showed the highest level of aggression. That finding had (and continues to have) important implications in the area of television and children. This research suggests that perhaps children are more likely to imitate what they see on television than what they see in real life.
