Cards in this deck (16)
- 1Hierarchy of Adaptive BehaviourReflex's -> Fixed Action patterns -> Habituation -> Classical conditioning
------------------Learning------------------ - 2Define LearingProcess by which long-lasting changes occur in behaviour as a result of an experience
- 3Define MemoryRelatively permanent record of experience that underlies learning
- 4Main Research into Classical ConditioningPavlov's Dogs
- 5Define prerequisitesAn unconditioned stimulus (occurs naturally)
- 6What happens when unconditioned stimulus is paired with conditioned stimulus?Organism learns to associate unconditioned stimulus with conditioned stimulus
- 7What was Pavlov's unconditioned stimulusFood
- 8What was Pavlov's conditioned stimulusBell
- 9What are the 6 Key principles?1. Acquisition
2. Extinction
3. Spontaneous Recovery
4. Temporal Ordering
5. Generalisation
6. Discrimination - 10Explain AquisitionThe strength of conditioned response is proportional to the number of pairings
- 11Explain ExtinctionThe strength of the conditioned response gradually decreases with the number of trials where no unconditioned stimulus occurs
- 12Explain Spontaneous RecoveryIf, after a series of extinction trails, the conditioned stimulus is presented some time later the conditioned response often shows some recovery
- 13Explain Temporal OrderingConditioning is strongest if unconditioned stimulus is presented after the conditioned stimulus
- 14Explain GeneralisationAfter classical conditioning with one conditioned stimulus, other similar stimuli will provoke the same response
- 15Example of Generalisation in Pavlov's researchDifferent tone of bell
- 16Explain DiscriminationIf, after classical conditioning and generalisation, the latter is not followed by the unconditioned stimulus, the organism will learn to discriminate
