The view that psychology should be studied only through observable behaviors that are objectively quantifiable

Founder of Behaviorism

Classical Conditioning

Learning through a system of pairing an unrelated stimulus (CS) with a naturally stimulus/response pair. (UCS/UCR)

Operant Conditioning

Using rewards and punishments to increase or decrease behavior.

Observational Learning

Learning by observing others

Unconditioned Stimulus

A stimulus that automatically (no learning required) triggers a response (e.g. The food that is given to trigger salivation)

Unconditioned Response

The unlearned, automatic response to an unconditioned stimulus (e.g. salivation in response to food)

Neutral Stimulus

Neutral stimulus is a stimulus that does not trigger a response. It will become the conditioned stimulus after it is successfully paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Conditioned Stimulus

A stimulus that previously did not trigger a response, but presenting immediately before the unconditioned stimulus, triggers a response similar to the unconditioned stimulus (e.g. The bell ringing before food is given, which eventually causes the dog to salivate)

Conditioned Response

The learned response to a previously neutral stimulus that has been successfully paired with the unconditioned stimulus

The initial process of pairing the neutral (which becomes conditioned) stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus.
