Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction01:24

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction

503
Generalization, discrimination, and extinction are key concepts in operant conditioning that influence how behaviors are learned and maintained.
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

Cause and Effect

10.9K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.6K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Real-World Application of Classical Conditioning

544
Classical conditioning not only includes the initial pairing of stimuli but also extends to more complex forms, such as higher-order conditioning. Higher-order conditioning involves creating associations beyond the primary conditioned stimulus, resulting in a chain of conditioned responses.
Higher-order, or second-order, conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an already established conditioned stimulus through repeated pairings. For instance, if a dog has been...

Framing Effects

7.3K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Summary

This study shows that cognitive control effects, like the congruency sequence effect (CSE) and validity sequence effect (VSE), can transfer between different attention tasks. These findings highlight the interconnectedness of attention networks.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Attention Research

Background:

  • Adaptive cognitive control is crucial for managing attention, often studied via the congruency sequence effect (CSE) in conflict tasks.
  • The congruency sequence effect (CSE) reflects enhanced attentional control following conflict.
  • Generalizability of CSE across different task conditions remains a key research question.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the cross-task generalizability between the congruency sequence effect (CSE) and the validity sequence effect (VSE).
  • To determine if sequential effects in attention tasks can influence performance in other types of attention tasks.
  • To explore the relationship between executive control and orienting processes in attention networks.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a cross-task experimental design combining flanker (conflict) and cueing (orienting) tasks.
  • Examined sequential effects (CSE and VSE) across trials with varying task set similarity and response modes.
  • Investigated the impact of intermediate trials on the persistence of sequential effects.

Main Results:

  • A cross-task sequence effect (C-VSE) was observed from flanker to cueing trials, particularly when task sets were very similar or dissimilar.
  • The C-VSE was modulated by the response mode used in the experimental design.
  • The validity sequence effect (VSE) was eliminated by an intermediate flanker trial, whereas the congruency sequence effect (CSE) remained significant with an intermediate cueing trial.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest a significant interplay between executive control and orienting mechanisms within attention networks.
  • Demonstrates that cognitive control effects can generalize across different attentional tasks, challenging previous assumptions.
  • Provides novel methods and perspectives for studying the underlying mechanisms of cognitive control and attention.
