1746664325 | Learning | any relatively durable change in behavior or knowledge due to experience. Environment causes change in behavior | 0 | |
1746664326 | Conditioning | Learning associations between events that occur in a organism's environment | 1 | |
1746664327 | Types of Learning | -Classical Conditioning -Operant Conditioning -Observational Learning | 2 | |
1746664328 | Classical Conditioning | A stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus -Ivan Pavlov -Passive Learning | 3 | |
1746664329 | Psychic Reflex | What Pavlov called it when dogs salivated when they did not have the sight or smell of food | 4 | |
1746664330 | Neutral Stimulus (NS) | No response (bell) | 5 | |
1746664331 | Unconditioned Stimulus (US) | a stimulus that evokes an unconditioned response without previous conditioning (meat) | 6 | |
1746664332 | Unconditioned Response (UR) | an unlearned reaction to unconditioned stimulus that occurs without previous conditioning (salivate) | 7 | |
1746664333 | Conditioned Stimulus (CS) | A previously neutral stimulus that has, throughout conditioning, acquired the capacity to evoke a conditioned response (bell) | 8 | |
1746664334 | Conditioned Response (CR) | a learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of pervious conditioning (salivate) | 9 | |
1746664335 | Trial | consists of any presentation of a stimulus of a stimulus or pair of stimulus | 10 | |
1746664336 | Acquisition | Refers to the initial stage of learning a new response tendency -increase of CR after pairing NS+US | 11 | |
1746664337 | Extinction (Classical) | The gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response tendency -CS no longer predicts anything | 12 | |
1746664338 | Spontaneous Recovery | the reappearance of an extinguished response after a period of non exposure to the conditioned stimulus | 13 | |
1746664339 | Little Albert | -John Watson -NS/CS white rat -US loud gong -UR/CR Fear | 14 | |
1746664340 | Stimulus Generalization | When an organism that has learned a response to a specific stimulus responds in the same way to new stimulus that are similar to the original stimulus | 15 | |
1746664341 | Stimulus Discrimination | occurs when an organism that has learned a response to a specific stimulus does not respond in the same way to new stimulus that are similar to the original stimulus | 16 | |
1746664342 | Taste Aversion | -Unusual example of classical conditioning -Increased time between NS(CS) and US -Can develop with only one trial | 17 | |
1746664343 | Preparedness | involves species-specific predispositions to be conditioned in certain ways and not others -to develop fearful associations with some stimuli more than others | 18 | |
1746664344 | Phobia | You don't have to have a direct experience to fear something | 19 | |
1746664345 | Operant Conditioning | a form of learning in which voluntary response come to be controlled by their consequences -Active Learning | 20 | |
1746664346 | E.L. Thorndike | Law of Effect -Good consequences=Increase in Behavior -Bad Consequences=Decease in Behavior | 21 | |
1746664347 | B.F. Skinner | -Named and pioneered operant conditioning -Behavior and it's consequences | 22 | |
1746664348 | Skinner Box | small enclosure in which an animal can make a specific response that is systematically recorded while that consequences of the response are controlled | 23 | |
1746664349 | Cumulative Recorder | creates a graphic record of responding and reinforcement in a Skinner box as a function of time | 24 | |
1746664350 | Shaping | The reinforcement of closer and closer approximations of a desired response | 25 | |
1746664351 | Extinction (Operant) | the gradual weakening and disappearance of a response tendency because the response is no longer followed by reinforcement | 26 | |
1746664352 | Positive | Add something | 27 | |
1746664353 | Negative | Take something away | 28 | |
1746664354 | Reinforcement | behavior will increase | 29 | |
1746664355 | Punishment | The behavior will decrease | 30 | |
1746664356 | Positive Reinforcement | When a response is strengthened because it is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus | 31 | |
1746664357 | Negative Reinforcement | When a response is strengthened by the removal of an unpleasant stimulus | 32 | |
1746664358 | Escape Learning | an organism acquires a response that deceases or ends some aversive stimulation | 33 | |
1746664359 | Avoidance Learning | an organism acquires a response that prevents some aversive stimulation from occurring | 34 | |
1746664360 | Positive Punishment | When a response is weakened by the presentation of an unpleasant stimulus | 35 | |
1746664361 | Negative Punishment | When a response is weakened by the removal of a pleasant stimulus | 36 | |
1746664362 | Schedule of Reinforcement | a specific pattern of presentation of reinforcements over time | 37 | |
1746664363 | Continuous Reinforcement | occurs every instance of a designated response is reinforced | 38 | |
1746664364 | Intermittent Reinforcement | occurs when a designed response is reinforced only some of the time | 39 | |
1746664365 | Ratio Schedule | based on what we do | 40 | |
1746664366 | Fixed Ratio | predictable ex) every 4 cars you sell, you get a bonus | 41 | |
1746664367 | Variable Ratio | You don't know when the reinforcement is coming ex) gambling | 42 | |
1746664368 | Interval Schedules | Based on time | 43 | |
1746664369 | Fixed Interval | reinforcement comes at a certain time | 44 | |
1746664370 | Variable Interval | Don't know what time the reinforcement is coming | 45 | |
1746664371 | Observational Learning | occurs when an organism's response is influenced by the observation of others, who are called models -Albert Bandura | 46 | |
1746664372 | Basic Processes in Observable Learning | Attention Retention Reproduction Motivation | 47 |
