Learning - A relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experience

Associative Learning - Classical Conditioning - association between UCS and CS
                                - Operant Conditioning - association between Stimulus and Consequence

Phobias
Little Albert- 9 months old
UCS                     UCR
CS                         CR

Counter conditioning - weakening a CR by associating the fear provoking stimulus with a new response that is incompatible with the fear
 

Operant conditioning
Skinner

Thorndike's Law of Effects - behaviors followed by positive outcomes will be strengthened and behaviors followed by negative outcomes will be weakened

Behavior Modification Programs
    Antecedent
    Behavior
    Consequence

1) Define the behavior to be changed in specific terms
2) make a commitment to change
3) Collect data about your behavior
4) Design a Self Control program
5) Make the program last - maintenance

- attention
- retention
- motivation/incentive

TV violence and the Bobo Doll
Strict behaviorism suggests that the environment generates some stimulus that a person behaviorally responses to which then changes the environment providing another stimulus for the person to respond to and so on.

Environment <------------>Behavior
(Stimulus)                            (Response)

Bandura believed that if behavior was simply S-R based, then we should not see as much variability as we see within and between subjects. That is, people often think before they respond and their thoughts or belief may alter their behavior.
