functionalism- looking at everything as a system and what is the purpose of the behavior
based on darwin
our behaviors function is to adapt to the environment (natural selection)
ex. giraffes- long necked ones survived because they could reach the food, not because their necks stretched |

rats and blocking |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
put rats in routes with no blocks for several days
rats found the most direct route after many trials
then put blocks at diff points on the maze
conclusion: rats used cognition to figure out which was the most efficient way to get to the food |

| packard & mcgaugh experiment, results, and conclusion |
|
Definition
injected lidicaine into hippocampus and striatum of rats
watched for two weeks
results:
Hippocampus week 1: place learning (spatial cues)
week 2: response learning (habit)
Striatum week 1: place learning
week 2: place learning
conclusion:
hippocampus is response for place learning and striatum is responsible for response learning
place learning occurs faster than response learning
even when you learn response learning, you don't forget place learning |

Definition
showed a white rat (CS) to albert
each time he reached out to touch the rat, he heard a loud sound (UCS) produced by Watson hitting a heavy hammer to a rail
after three CS-UCS pairings, they observed that the presentation of the rat (CS) alone produced a fear response in the child
tried to escape from the rat after 6 pairings
now showed fear of white rabbit and white fur coat |

peter and the rabbit
counterconditioning and systematic desensitization |
|
|
Term
| mary cover jones' experiment |
|
Definition
peter frightened of white rabbit
when he was calm, she brought the rabbit into the same room while peter was eating, keeping enough distance so that peter was not alarmed
then she moved the rabbit closer and closer, allowing peter to grow accustomed in gradual steps
eventually, the child was able to touch and hold the formerly fear-inducing animal
fear was eliminated by conditioning a positive emotional response to the rabbit, produced by eating |
