Cards in this deck (41)
- 1learningchange in an organism's behaviour or thought as a result of experience
- 2habituationprocess of responding less strongly overtime
- 3classical conditioning/pavlovianform of learning in which animals come to respond to a previously neutral stimulus thats paired with another stimulus that elects an natural response
- 4unconditioned stimulus(UCS)stimulus that elects an automatic response without prior conditioning
- 5unconditioned response (UCR)automatic response to a no neutral stimulus that does not need to be learned
- 6conditioned response (CR)responce previously associated with non neutral stimulus that is elected by a neutral stimulus through conditioning
- 7acquisitionlearning phase through which CR is established
- 8extinctionthe gradual reduction and elimination of CR after the conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus
- 9spontaneous recoverysudden re emergence of an extinct CR after a delay following extinction
- 10renewal effectsudden reemergance of CR following extinction when the animal is returned to the environment in which the CR was acquired
- 11stimulus gereralizationthe process by which conditioned stimulus similar but not identical to the original conditioned stimulus elect a CR
- 12stimulus Discriminationorganisms display a less pranced CR to CS that differ from the original CS
- 13High order conditioningdeveloping a conditioned response to a condition stimulus by virtue of its association with another CS
- 14Latent Inhibitiondifficulty in establishing classical conditioning the a conditioned stimulus we've repeatedly experienced alone, that is, without the unconditioned stimulus
AKA familiar stim is more difficult to condition than unfamiliar stimuli - 15conditioned compensatory responcea CR that is the opposite of UCR serves to compensate for UCR
- 16fetishismsexual attraction to nonliving things
- 17operant conditioninglearning controlled by consequences of the organisms behaviour
- 18law of effectprinciple that is a stimulus followed by a behaviour results in reward, the stimulus is more likely to give rise to the behaviour in the future
- 19insightgrasping the underlying nature of the problem
- 20Skinner boxsmall animal chamber constructed by skinner to allow sustained periods of conditioning to be administered and behaviours to be recorded unsupervised
- 21reinforcementoutcome or consequence of behaviour that strengthens the probability of the behaviour, always positive
- 22positive reinforcementthe presentation of a stimulus (pleasant) following a behaviour that strengthens the probability of the behaviour
- 23negative reinforcementthe removal of a stimulus (unpleasant) following a behaviour that strengthens the prob. of the behaviour
- 24punishmentoutcome or consequence of a behaviour that weakens the prob. of the behaviour
- 25discriminative stimulisstimulus associated with the presence of reinforcement
- 26schedule of reinforcementpattern of reenforcing behaviour
- 27continual reinforcementreinforcing behaviour every occurrence results in faster learning but faster extinction then occasional
- 28partial reinforcementoccasional reinforcement of a behaviour resulting in slower extinction than continual
- 29fixed ratio schedulepattern which we provide reinforcement following a regular number of responses
- 30fixed interval schedulepattern which reinforcement is provided for first response after fixed time interval
- 31variable ratio scheduleprovide reinforcement after X amount of responses with X varying around some average
- 32variable interval (VI)we provide reinforcement for 1st response following X time interval, intervals vaping around some average
- 33shaping by successive approximationsconditioning a target behaviour by progressively reinforcing behaviours that come closer to the target behaviour
- 34secondary reinforcerneutral object that becomes associated with primary reinforcer
- 35primary reinforcerteam or outcome that naturally increases target behaviour
- 36latent learninglearning that isn't directly observable
- 37cognitive mapmetal representation of how a physical space is organized
- 38observable learninglearning by watching others
- 39mirror neuronescell in prefrontal cortex that becomes activated by specific motions when an animal both preforms and observes them
- 40preparednessevolutionary predisposition to learn some pairings of fear stimulus over other owing to their survival value
- 41instinctive drifttendency for animals to return to innate behaviours following repeated reinforcer
