The main assumptions of the Rescorla-Wagner model
are:
(1) surprise necessary for learning
Describe main assumptions (2) surprise determines how much is learned on any
of the Rescorla-Wagner given episode
model of conditioning. (3) as total knowledge increases, material becomes less
(a) What produces learning 'surprising'
in this model? (i.e., what (4) when total knowledge = maximum (material
causes learning to occur). completely learned), material no longer surprising ->
(b) What causes learning to learning stops
stop according to the
model? a) when what you get != what you expect means
(c) What is relationship SURPRISE
between theoretical b) when maximum association is achieved/no more
increments in associative surprise
strength across training c) early CS-US trials: person still learning CS predicts US
trials and the shape of the (US is still 'surprising") each CS-US trial produces some
empirically observed learning
learning curve? (in other later (asymptote): person knows CS perfectly predicts
words, what aspects of US
observed data seem to fit (US no longer surprising) additional CS-US trials
with assumptions of the produce
model for initial acquisition no new learning
of a behavior).
There is a relatively steep learning curve and then a
plateau which mirrors that of observed learning behavior
in animals
, ΔV = k(λ-v) Vcurr = ΔV + Vprev
Write out the Rescorla-
Wagner equation and ΔV is the amount learned on each trial
define the variables within k is the salience of the CS+ US
it. λ is the maximum possible association we can make
v is curr total strength of learning at the end of prev trial
In blocking, the presence of an established CS interferes
with conditioning of a new CS.
What is the phenomenon Example: Suppose a light is conditioned as a CS for
known as blocking? salivation and is then paired with a tone to create a
compound stimulus. Because the light is already
preconditioned, little or no association will be made to
the tone.
