Dive into the influential yet simple ideas of Edwin R. Guthrie's Contiguity Theory of learning! This theory proposes a radical concept: that a full-strength bond between a stimulus and a response is formed on the first pairing. Learning happens in one trial!
What You'll Learn in this Video:
The Core Principle: Understand the fundamental idea of contiguity—the mere simultaneous occurrence of a stimulus (S) and a response (R) is enough for association.
One-Trial Learning: Explore Guthrie's most famous and debated concept: how a maximum association is achieved in a single event.
The Role of Movement: Learn why Guthrie focused on movements (small-scale muscular contractions) rather than large-scale acts, and how this explains learning and habit formation.
Breaking Habits: Discover Guthrie’s three key methods for breaking undesirable habits, all based on the contiguity principle:
The Threshold Method
The Fatigue Method
The Incompatible Response Method
Practical Examples: See real-world examples, including his famous study with cats escaping a puzzle box, to clearly illustrate the theory in action.
