Initially, the child was not afraid of the rat; however, Watson and Rayner would strike a steel bar, which created a loud noise whenever the child would get near the animal. This created a conditioned (learned) fear in the child.

This concept has been criticized by some theorists such as Wayne Dyer.

It occurs when the CS is "not" reinforced via the US. Most experts believe that the CR is not eliminated, but suppressed, or what is generally called "inhibited." If the target is given a rest, the CR will sometimes reappear, although it will be weaker, a phenomena often called "spontaneous recovery." In operant conditioning, this connotes that reinforcement is withheld and eventually the behavior will be extinguished (eliminated). Ignoring is often a common method of extinction.

What is John B. Watson associated with?
|
The Little Albert experiment.
|
|
|
What is the Little Albert experiment.
|
Loud sound (Unconditioned Stimulus) -> Fear (Unconditioned Response) Natural response.
Rat (Neutral Stimulus) + Loud sound (Unconditioned Stimulus)-> Fear (Unconditioned Response) During pairing them. Rat (Conditioned Stimulus) -> Fear (Conditioned Response) Learning occurs. Notice how the response never changes. |
|
|
What is chaining?
|
A behavioristic term referring to a chain or sequence of behaviors in which one response renders a cue that the next response is to occur. For example, when you are writing a sentence and place a period at the end of the sentence, it is a cue that the next letter will be an uppercase letter. It is really just a series of operants joined together by reinforcers.
|
|
|
Whose principles are behavior modification strategies based heavily on?
|
Skinnerian principles (instrumental, operant conditioning)
|
|
|
Whose principles are behavior therapy based heavily on?
|

|
|
|
Who is Neal Miller?
|
His first studies demonstrated that animals could indeed be conditioned to control autonomic processes. He a Banuazizi showed that by utilizing rewards, rats could be trained to alter heart rate and intestinal contractions. Prior to this experiment, it was thought that automatic or "autonomic" bodily processes could not be controlled. Today, counselors often use the technique of biofeedback to help clients control autonomic responses.
|
|
|
Who was Edward Thorndike?
|
He postulated the "law of effect," which is also known as "trial and error learning." This theory assumes that satsifying associations related to a given behavior will cause it to be "stamped in," while those associated with annoying consequences are "stamped out." Practice, per se, does not ensure effective learning. The practice must yield a reward.
|
|
|
What was the significance of the Little Albert experiment?

|
What is continuous reinforcement?
|
It is when you continue to provide the reinforcement each time the target behavior occurs. It is not necessarily the most practical or the most effective

What is thinning?
|
Also called intermittent reinforcement, it literally indicates that the behavior is only reinforced a portion of the time.
|
|
|
What is the interval with regard to intermittent or partial reinforcement?

What is the ratio with regard to intermittent or partial reinforcement?
|
The ratio is based on the number of responses. A fixed ratio, for example, would be giving a child an M&M for each 5 math problems she completes.

It is considered quite systematic and has been called the "psychology of personal constructs" after his work of the same name.
|
|

|
|
|
Who is T. G. Stampfl?
|
He is credited with creating Implosive Therapy.
|
|
|
Why do behavior therapists shy away from punishment?
|
The effects of punishment are usually temporary and it can teach aggression. B. F. Skinner felt that after the punishment was administered, the behavior would manifest itself once again. Positive measures are seen as more effective than punishment. If punishment is used, remember that it does not case the person (or other animal, for that matter) to unlearn the behavior, and it should be used along with positive reinforcing measures.
|
|
|
Why empathy versus sympathy?
|
Sympathy often implies pity, while accurate empathy is the ability to experience another person's subjective experience.
|

It is considered a humanistic form of helping in which the counselor helps the client discover meaning in his or her life by doing a deed (e.g., an accomplishment), experiencing a value (e.g., love), or suffering (e.g., Frankl discovered that even being held hostage in a concentration camp could not take away his dignity). It rejects analysis and behaviorism for being deterministic and reductionistic. This viewpoint developed as a reaction to the analytic and behavioral schools and stresses growth and self-actualization. Individuals have choices in their lives and one cannot blame others or childhood circumstances for a lack of fulfillment.
|
|
|
Who is Epictetus?
|
He is often quoted in regard to REBT. He was a stoic philosopher from the first century A.D. He said, "Men are disturbed not by things, but of the view which they take of them." This captures the major premise of REBT.

|
|
|
What is summarization?
|
The counselor is bringing together a number of ideas. It also could deal strictly with the material in a single session of counseling.

In the 1950's Eric Berne began to develop his theories of Transactional Analysis. He said that verbal communication, particularly face to face, is at the centre of human social relationships and psychoanalysis.
His starting-point was that when two people encounter each other, one of them will speak to the other. This he called the Transaction Stimulus. The reaction from the other person he called the Transaction Response. The person sending the Stimulus is called the Agent. The person who responds is called the Respondent. Transactional Analysis became the method of examining the transaction wherein: 'I do something to you, and you do something back'. |
