Mrs. Maynard's AP Psychology Class- Chapter 8 Learning

	A relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience
	Learning that certain events occur together
	The view the psychology should be objective science that studies behavior without reference to mental processes
	A type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli
	In classical conditioning, the unlearned naturally ocurring response to the unconditioned stimulus
	In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally-naturally and automatically- triggers a response
	In classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral conditioned stimulus
	In classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response
	The initial stage in classical conditioning, the phase associating a neutral stimulus with an US=S so that the neural stimulus comes to elicit a CR
	The diminishing of a conditioned response
	The reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished conditioned response
	The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditions stimulus to elicit similar responses
	In classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus
	A type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by reinforcement or diminished if followed by punishment
	Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus
	Behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences
	Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and that behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely
	A chamber containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforced, with attached devices to record the animal's rate of the bar pressing or key pecking
	An operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward a closer and closer approximations of a desired goal
	In operant conditioning, any event that strengthens the behavior it follows
	An innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need
	A stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer
	Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs
	Reinforcing a response only part of the time
	In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses
	In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcemnt that reinforces a repsonse after an unpredictable number of responses
	In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed
	In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals
	An event that decreases the behavior that it follows
	A mental representation of the layout of one's environment
	Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it
	The effect of promising a reward for doing what one already likes to do
	Learning by observing others
	The process of observing and imitating a specific behavior
	Positive, constructive, helpful behavior
