MCAT learning and memory
Fichas del conjunto (16)
- 1habituationthe process of becoming used to a stimulus
- 2dishabituationoccurs when a second stimulus intervenes, causing a resensitization to the original stimulus
- 3associative learninga way of pairing together stimuli and responses or behaviors and consequences
- 4classical conditioningan unconditioned stimulus that produces an instinctive, unconditioned response is paired with a neutral stimulus. with repetition, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that produces a conditioned response
- 5positive and negative reinforcementpositive: adds a pleasant stimulus
negative: removes an unpleasant stimulus
both increase the frequency of a behavior - 6positive and negative punishmentpositive: adds an unpleasant stimulus
negative: a pleasant stimulus is removed
both act to decrease the frequency of a behavior - 7What schedule of reinforcement is the hardest to extinguish?the variable-ratio schedule
- 8observational learning/modelingthe acquisition of behavior by watching others
- 9encodingthe process of putting new information into memory; can be automatic or effortful; semantic encoding is better than acoustic or visual encoding
- 10sensory memory vs short-term memory vs working memorysensory memory (<1 sec): transient, but high accuracy;
short-term memory (30 sec);
working memory: short-term memory along with attention and executive function - 11long-term memoryrequires elaborative rehearsal and is a result of increased neural connectivity
- 12explicit (declarative) vs implicit (nondeclarative) memoryexplicit: stores facts and stories
implicit: stores skills and conditioning effects - 13recognition vs recallrecognition: recognizing old information (stronger)
recall: recalling old information - 14retrievalbased on priming interconnected nodes of the semantic network
- 15brain disorders, etc. that can affect memoryAlzheimer's disease, agnosia, decay, interference, Korsakoff's syndrome
- 16long-term potentiationthe strengthening of neuronal connections resulting from increased neurotransmitter release and adding of receptor sites
