7867126603Ivan PavlovContribution: developed the theory of "classical conditioning" while working with dogs Significance: Father of Classical Conditioning0
7867126604Classical ConditioningLearning that takes place when two or more stimuli are paired together UCS = UCR; NS + UCS = UCR; & CS = CR1
7867126605Unconditioned StimulusPart of Classical Conditioning It is the stimulus that triggers a natural reflexive response. Pavlov's Dogs: "Meat" Little Albert: "Loud noise"2
7867126606Conditioned StimulusPart of Classical Conditioning It initially has no effect but after conditioning, it triggers a natural reflexive response. Pavlov's Dogs: It was the "Bell" Little Albert: "White Mouse"3
7867126607ExtinctionClassical Conditioning: The disappearance of a behavior because CS no longer paired with the UCS Operant Conditioning: The disappearance of a behavior because it is no longer reinforced or punished4
7867126608Spontaneous RecoveryClassical Conditioning: When a previous CR returns after it has been extinguished Operant Conditioning: Occurs when a response begins again after extinction5
7867126609Stimulus GeneralizationClassical Conditioning: When the NS and the CS are different. (Example: Little Albert being afraid of any thing that is white and furry) Operant Conditioning: When a reinforced/punished behavior occurs in a setting/situation where it was NOT learned (Example: Not cursing at home or at school)6
7867126610Stimulus DiscriminationClassical Conditioning: When the NS and the CS are the same (Example: Little Albert being afraid of a white mouse) Operant Conditioning: When a reinforced/punished behavior occurs in a setting/situation where it was learned (Example: Cursing only at home because it is acceptable but not at school)7
7867126611Higher Order ConditioningWhen the first CS is paired with a second CS The second CS is presented briefly before the first CS8
7867126612Taste AversionsPsychologist: Garcia Defined: If you ingest an unusual food or drink and then become nauseous, you will probably develop an aversion to the food or drink. Significance: Violates the acquisition principles of classical conditioning9
7867126613Operant conditioningDefined: Learning is based on the association of one's behavior and its consequences. Consequences are reinforced or punished Example: You choose to break curfew based on the consequences10
7867126614Law of EffectPsychologist: Edward Thorndike Defined: if a behavior results in a satisfying consequence, it will likely be repeated whereas; if a behavior results in a unsatisfying consequence, it will NOT likely be repeated Example: If you complement your mother and she lets you stay out past curfew, you will complement her again11
7867126615B.F. SkinnerContributions: Invented the Operant chamber, aka his ________ box, to use in his research of animal learning. Significance: Father & Developer of Operant Conditioing12
7867126616Positive ReinforcementPart of Operant Conditioning Adding something to increase the likelihood of a behavior occuring again Example: Receiving $5 for every "A" in high school13
7867126617Negative ReinforcementPart of Operant Conditioning Increasing the likelihood of a behavior occurring again by removing a negative stimuli Example: Taking aspirin to relieve a headache14
7867126618Positive PunishmentPart of Operant Conditioning Adding something to decrease the likelihood of a behavior occurring again Example: Spanking and yelling15
7867126619Negative PunishmentPart of Operant Conditioning Removing something to decrease the likelihood of a behavior occurring again Example: Grounding16
7867126620ShapingPart of Operant Conditioning Positively reinforcing closer and closer approximations of a desird behavior to teach a new behavior17
7867126621Primary ReinforcersReinforcers that are rewarding such as food, water, rest, whose natural properties are reinforcing.18
7867126622Secondary ReinforcersDefined: Reinforcers that are rewarding because we learned that are reinforcing. Example: praise, money, the chance to play video games.19
7867126623Fixed-Ratio ScheduleDefined: schedule of reinforcement after a set number of responses. Example: Being paid for every 10 pizzas made20
7867126624Variable-Ratio ScheduleDefined: schedule of reinforcement after a varying number of responses. Example: playing a slot machine21
7867126625Fixed-Interval ScheduleDefined: schedule of reinforcement after a fixed amount of time has passed Example: cramming for an exam22
7867126626Variable-Interval ScheduleDefined: schedule of reinforcement after varying amounts of time Example: pop (surprise) quizzes in class23
7867126627Instinctive DriftDefined: when animals revert to instinctive behaviors rather than the operantly conditioned behaviors Examples: Rats will not walk backward, chickens won't hit a ball and run to first base, and pigs won't put wooden dollars into a piggy bank24
7867126628Observational LearningDefined: learn by watching others Example: BoBo Doll Study25
7867126629Latent LearningDefined: Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it Example: Tolman's rats would only complete the maze if there was cheese for them at the end of the maze26
7867126631Acquisition of Classical ConditioningFrequency: the more often the CS and the US are paired together Timing: the CS is presented a half a second before the US27
7867126632Biological PreparednessDefined: humans and animals have predisposed fears that help us survive Examples; Phobia of heights keeps us away from danger28
7867126633Unconditioned ResponsePart of Classical Conditioning It is the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the stimulus Pavlov's Dogs: It was the "Salivating to the Meat" Little Albert: "Screaming at the Loud Noise"29
7867126634Associative LearningDefined: learn by putting together two events Example: Expect to hear thunder after viewing lightening30
7867126635HabituationDefined: An organisms decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it Example: Your parents yell at you a lot and eventually you tune out their yelling31
7867126636WatsonContribution: applies Classical Conditioning to Humans through the "Little Albert" Experiment Significance: Creates "Behaviorism" Theory32
7867126637ThorndikeContribution: studied cats in puzzle boxes and recorded their behaviors Significance: Creates "Law of Effect" theory33
7867126638BanduraContribution: Studied how children mimic others behaviors and repeat that same behavior Significance: Creates "Observational Learning" Theory34
7867126639GarciaContribution: Demonstrated the significance of biological processes in classical conditioning Significance: Creates "Taste Aversions" theory35
7867126641TolmanContribution: demonstrated the significance of cognitive processes in operant conditioning by studying rats in mazes Significance: Creates the "Latent Learning" theory36
7867126643Pavlov's DogsFirst experiment that created and demonstrate the theory of classical conditioning37
7867126644Little AlbertFirst experiment to demonstrate how emotions can be classically conditioned in humans Provides a foundation for the "Behaviorism Theory"38
7867126645Conditioned ResponsePart of Classical Conditioning Occurs after conditioning when the conditioned stimulus (CS) triggers an innate response Pavlov's Dogs: It was the "Salivating to the Bell" Little Albert: "Screaming/Crying"39
7867126648Concerns regarding PunishmentIt does not teach the learner appropriate behavior and can also increase violent behavior in the learner40
7867126649Skinner BoxAlso known as: Operant Chamber Description: A chamber containing a bar or key that an animal (rat or pigeon) can manipulate in order to obtain a reward41
7867126651Superstitious BehaviorDefined: if a random reinforcement follows an event, the event will likely be repeated. Example: a lucky shirt, shoes, etc.42
7867126652Continuous Reinforcement ScheduleDefined: When every behavior is reinforced Example: a multiple choice test Significance: best for "establishing" a behavior43
7867126653Cognitive MapsDefined: having the ability or know how to accomplish a particular task Example: Tolman's rats knew how to complete the maze44
7867126654Intrinsic MotivationDefined: the desire to perform a behavior effectively and for its own sake—rewards can carry hidden costs. Example: reading books because you find them rewarding45
7867126655Extrinsic MotivationDefined: the desire to perform a behavior to receive external rewards or avoid threatened punishment. Example: reading a book because you need to get a good grade in your English class46
7867126656BoBo Doll StudyPsychologist: Bandura Description: Children watched (through a one way glass)a confederate play with the BoBo doll and then played with the BoBo doll in the same way as the confederate Significance: used to develop "observational learning"47
7867126657Mirror NeuronsDefined: frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing certain actions or when observing another doing so Example: explains why yawning is contagious48
7867126658DensensitizationDefined: after viewing a similar act/behavior, you become less emotionally responsive (indifferent or unaware) to the stimulus Example: The first murder on TV is shocking but becomes less shocking as you watch violent television49
7867126659Pro-Social ModelingDefined: People who show nonviolent, helpful behavior prompt similar behavior in others Significance: When parents help their grandparents, the children will likely do the same50
7867126661BehaviorismPsychologist: John B. Watson Defined: a theory that made psychology an objective science by making it based on observable (and only observable) events, not the unconscious or conscious mind.51
7867131810television and observational learningchildren will imitate what they see on tv52
