Learning Theory Attachment

In learning theory, what is the UCS?

• Mother

• Pleasure

• Food

Before learning takes place what is the mother?

• UCS

• UCR

• NS

• CS

According to operant conditioning, food is a:

• Primary reinforcer

• Secondary reinforcer

Children learn to love whoever...

• Loves them

• Feeds them

• Bathes them

• Gives them attention

Infants learn to be attached to their primary caregiver through:

• Operant Conditioning

• Classical Conditioning

• Operant Conditioning + Classical Conditioning

• Operant Conditioning + Classical Conditioning + Imprinting

What is the main principle of classical conditioning in attachment theory?

• Behaviour is shaped through reinforcement

• Attachment forms through association with caregivers and basic needs satisfaction

• Attachment develops through observation and imitation

• Attachment is an innate biological process

According to classical conditioning, what becomes associated with the satisfaction of basic needs in infants?

• The primary caregiver

• Neutral stimuli

• Reinforcement

• Punishment

In operant conditioning, what role do caregivers' responses play in shaping attachment behaviors?

• They serve as reinforcement or punishment

• They provide modelling for observational learning

• They trigger the release of oxytocin

• They have no impact on attachment

According to operant conditioning, what happens when caregivers respond positively to attachment behaviors?

• The behaviours are reinforced and likely to be repeated

• The behaviours are punished and extinguished

• The behaviours have no effect on attachment

• The behaviours become associated with basic needs satisfaction

Which learning theory emphasises the role of consequences in shaping behaviour?

• Classical conditioning

• Social learning theory

• Attachment theory

• Operant conditioning
