4 Specification 1 Definition of the approach 1a: Define the learning approach showing understanding that this approach is about the effects of conditioning, reinforcement and social learning on the organism. 1b: Define and use psychological terminology appropriately and accurately including the terms: i classical conditioning (including extinction, spontaneous recovery), ii operant conditioning (including positive and negative reinforcement, primary and secondary reinforcement, punishment), iii social learning (including imitation, modelling, observation, vicarious reinforcement), iv stimulus and response. 2 Methodology/How science works 2a: Describe and evaluate observation as a research method in psychology. 2b: Identify, describe and apply the terms participant, non-participant, overt, covert, naturalistic observations 2c: With regard to inferential statistics, identify, describe and apply i levels of measurement, ii reasons for choosing a chi-squared (χ2) test, Spearman and Mann- Whitney, iii how to compare the observed and critical value(s) to judge significance Note: with regard to inferential tests, no calculations will have to be carried out in the examinatons and formulae do not have to be learnt. 2d: Describe and evaluate the laboratory experiment method as it is used in general with human and with animal participants (including details specified for the Cognitive and Biological Approaches). 2e: Describe and assess ethical guidelines for the use of human participants when carrying out psychological research (include details specified for the Social Approach). 3 - Content 3a: Describe the main features of classical conditioning, including unconditioned stimulus (UCS), unconditioned response (UCR), conditioned stimulus (CS), conditioned response (CR), extinction and spontaneous recovery. 3b: Describe the main features of operant conditioning, including positive and negative reinforcement, punishment, primary and secondary reinforcement. 3c: For either classical or operant conditioning, describe and evaluate one treatment/therapy. Suitable examples: aversion therapy, systematic desensitisation, token economy programmes. 3d: Describe the main features of social learning theory, including observation, imitation, modelling, vicarious reinforcement. King Edward VI Psychology Department 4

5 3e: Describe how learning theory can be used to explain gender development/behaviour with particular reference to modelling, reinforcement and behaviour shaping. 3f: Evaluate learning theory as an explanation of gender behaviour including comparison with explanations from the Biological and Psychodynamic Approaches. 4 Studies in detail 4a: Describe and evaluate Bandura, Ross and Ross (1961) Transmission of aggression through imitation of aggressive models and one other study. This must be selected from the following: Watson and Rayner (1920) Little Albert Skinner B F (1948) Superstition in the pigeon Pickens R, and Thompson T (1968) Cocaine-reinforced behavior in rats: effects of reinforcement magnitude and fixed-ratio size. 5 Key issue 5a: Describe one key issue of relevance to today s society and apply concepts, theories and/or research (as appropriate) from the Learning Approach to explain the issue. Suitable examples: the influence of advertising on people s behaviour the increase of female violence related to changing role models the influence of role models on anorexia. Note: in the examination paper, students may be given stimulus material from a key issue to explain using concepts, theories and/or research (as appropriate) from the Learning Approach. 6 Evidence of practice: short observation 6a: Carry out an observation using participants either from real life or using another medium such as television. This practical must be designed and conducted according to ethical principles. 6b: The observation must focus on some aspect of learning theory (such as modelling or reinforcement) and must gather quantitative data (eg by using tallying) that leads to a chisquared (χ2) test. 6c: Analyse the findings to produce results including using the chi-squared (χ2) test. Note: with regard to inferential tests no calculations will have to be carried out in the examinations and formulae do not have to be learnt. 6d: Apply issues of validity, reliability, generalisability and credibility to their results. King Edward VI Psychology Department 5

6 Methods Identify, describe and apply the following: i validity, ii reliability, iii generalizability, iv credibility, v overt/covert, vi non participant /participant, vii qualitative, viii quantitative, ix laboratory experiment, x chi-squared (χ2) test, xi levels of measurement, xii levels of significance, xiii critical value and bserved value, xiv naturalistic observations, xv ethical issues.

A Opportunity B Random C Self-selected D Volunteer 15 In your course you will have studied Bandura, Ross and Ross s (1961) study in the Learning Approach. (a) (i) Describe the aim(s) and procedure of Bandura, Ross and Ross.(4) (a) (ii) The statements in the table below may relate to the results and/or conclusions of the study by Bandura, Ross and Ross (1961). Put a cross in the correct box to indicate whether each statement is true or false.(3) The children who saw the aggressive model were more aggressive than those who saw the non aggressive model. About 1/3 of the children who saw the aggressive model copied the model s behaviour. Boys copied the behaviour of the male model more than the girls copied the behaviour of the female model. The researchers concluded that behaviour is only learned when it is reinforced. True False King Edward VI Psychology Department 31

32 (b) Evaluate Bandura, Ross and Ross s (1961) study by filling in the blanks in the paragraph below.(4) The study was not ecologically as the children were not in their normal nursery setting. The children were deliberately encouraged to be aggressive, so they may be aggressive towards others after they left the study which is an issue. The sample size was 72 and was a mix of boys and girls so the results can be to other children. Most of the situational variables were controlled as the study was conducted in a. 16 Classical and/or operant conditioning can be applied to the treatment of psychological disorders. Examples include aversion therapy, flooding, systematic desensitisation and token economy. Evaluate one treatment/therapy from either classical or operant conditioning.
