- 1LearningA change in behavior due to experience
- 2Associative LearningLinking two events/stimuli that occur close together in time
- 3Classical Conditioninga type of learning where we learn to associate two stimuli and anticipate events
- 4BehaviorismPsychology should be an objective science; Studies behaviors without taking mental processes into account
- 5Ivan PavlovNobel Prize for Physiology in 1904; Accidentally discovered classical conditioning
- 6Unconditioned Stimulus (US)a stimulus that naturally triggers a response
- 7Unconditioned Response (UR)a naturally occurring response to the US
- 8Neutral Stimulus (NS)a stimulus that has not been paired with the US and elicits no response
- 9Conditioned Stimulus (CS)a previously neutral stimulus (NS) that is paired with the US and as a result, triggers a conditioned response (CR)
- 10Conditioned Response (CR)a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus (NS), but now a conditioned stimulus (CS)
- 11Little Albert ExperimentsWatson & Raynor conditioned a baby to associate white rats with a loud noise (US) and fear them (CR)
- 12Acquisitionthe initial learning of the stimulus-response (S-R) relationship
- 13Extinctionthe diminished CR when an US no longer follows the CS
- 14Spontaneous Recoverythe reappearance of a weakened CR after a pause
- 15Higher-Order Conditioning (Second-Order Conditioning)The CS in one experience is paired with a different NS to create a second CS
- 16GeneralizationThe tendency to respond in a similar way to stimuli similar to the CS; ex. Little Albert: fear of white rates generalized to white and/or furry objects
- 17DiscriminationThe learned ability to distinguish between a CS and other similar stimuli that do not signal a US
- 18Biological PredispositionsNot all associations can be learned equally well; We’re biologically predisposed to learn certain associations
