Classical conditioning, generalisation and discrimination
Karten in diesem Stapel (22)
- 1what is generalisability?where similar stimuli’s are reacted to in the same manner as the original stimuli
- 2What is discrimination?stimuli is similar but the organism does not react to the stimuli in the same way as the conditioned one
- 3An example of adaptive generalisation...wasp stings an organism the organism then learns to avoid all black and yellow creatures to avoid being stung again
- 4How is discrimination adaptive?Distinguish friend from of or edible from poisonous (Thomas 1992)
- 5How is generalisation adaptive?protects the organism from stimuli which can be harmful
- 6How is generalisation maladaptive?Creates phobias which create anxiety
- 7Little Albert is an example of discrimination or generalisation?generalisation little Albert generalised not just the rat but everything white and fluffy including a rabbit and Watson's hair
- 8Classical conditioning is what kind of behaviour?reflexive and predicting behavouir
- 9Example of a conditioned response..Reflexive response such as blinking or salvaging in response to conditioning stimulus
- 10An example of a unconditioned responsesalvation
- 11Unconditioned stimulusBiologically relevent like food or puff of air
- 12What is the Garcia effect?Garcia, Ervin & Koelling, 1966 rats fed flavoured water, injected with emetic, rats refused water
- 13What is Blocking?Where another stimuli is not associated with the conditioned response as there is already an association.
- 14Give an example of blockingIf a CS (tone) fully predicts a US (shock), then nothing will be learned about a second CS (light) that accompanies the first CS
- 15A real life example of disadvantage with generalisabilityAlcoholics and emetics can generalise to all liquids causing dehydration and death
- 16Generalisability is greater when what? (Balsam 1988)The stimulus is very similar to the conditioned stimulus
- 17What is generalisability measured on?A generalisability gradient
- 18What is stimulus discrimination?When the stimulus has a distinctive feature and the organism only reacts to the specific stimulus
- 19Likelihood of discrimination if..The more dissimilar the stimulus is to the original CS
- 20Name three examples of classical conditioning in humans.Phobias, fetishes and conditioned taste aversion
- 21What is the function of classical conditioning?Allows the organism to take effective and immediate action
- 22What is associative learning?Another way of saying classical conditioning. It is learning to recognise causal or predictive relationships between significant environmental events
