Title: Practical Applications of Research-Based Learning Principles


1
Practical Applications of Research-Based Learning
Principles
  • Dr. Ginger M. LeBlanc
  • Bakersfield College

2
Psychology
  • Basic Research
  • Application
  • Use information, techniques and skills derived
    from psychological science
  • Areas
  • Case Workers
  • Counselors
  • Teachers
  • Animal Trainers

3
Psychology of Learning
  • Behaviorism
  • Watson, Thorndike, Skinner
  • Emphasis
  • Environment
  • Behavior
  • Scientific Method

4
Principles of Learning
  • Learning is relatively permanent change in
    behavior due to experiences.
  • Derived from empirical research using nonhuman
    animals.
  • Operant Conditioning
  • Consequences have future effect on behavior

5
Reinforcement
  • Increase probability of behavior
  • Reinforcer qualities
  • Factors influencing effectiveness
  • Immediacy
  • Consistency
  • Contingency

6
Extinction
  • Decrease probability of behavior
  • Removal of reward
  • Factors influencing effectiveness
  • Immediacy, consistency, contingency
  • Side effects
  • Extinction burst
  • Low to zero levels of responding

7
Shaping
  • Differential reinforcement of successive
    approximations
  • Reward behaviors that more closely resemble
    desired behavior
  • Task Analysis
  • Break behavior in small steps

8
Animal Application
  • Animal Behavior Research
  • Husbandry Training

9
Conclusion
  • Valuable application of learning principles

Selecting Stimulus as Reinforcer
