Flashcards
6.1 - classical conditioning
Cards in this deck (18)
- 1LearningChange in behaviour/knowledge as a result of experience
- 22 diff types of learning- cognitive
- associative - 3Cognitive learningReading, listening, taking tests to acquire new knowledge
- 4Associative learningpair certain stimuli (eg. pair holidays w certain smells)
- 5Classical conditioningAssociative learning in which an organism learns to associate a neutral stimulus with a biologically-relevant stimulus which results in a change in response to the previously neutral stimulus
- 6Unconditioned stimulusStimulus that elicits a reflexive response without learning (eg. given food, US --> causes salivation, UR)
- 7Unconditioned responseReflexive, unlearned reaction to an US
- 8Conditioned stimulusOnce neutral stimulus that elicits a CR because it has a history of being paired with an US
- eg. not afraid of rat at first (neutral), but repeated paired with loud noise (US, causes reflexive response) --> afraid of rat - 9Conditioned ResponseLearned response that occurs to the CS
- 10AcquistionInitial phase of learning in which a response is established
CS+US=CR - 11ExtinctionLoss/weakening of CR when a CS and US no longer occur together
(CS alone, no US anymore) - 12Spontaneous recoveryReoccurrence of a previously extinguished CR after some time has passed since extinction
CR rebounds when CS (alone) is presented again - 13GeneralizationResponse that originally occurs to a specific stimulus also occurs to different, but similar, stimuli
- 14DiscriminationRespond to one original stimulus and not similar ones
- 15Conditioned emotional responsesEmotional and physiological responses that develop to a specific type of object/situation
- 16Skin conductance responsePalm sweat measured in response to a stimulus (fear)
- occurs when body is aroused by threatening or uncomfortable stimuli - 17PreparednessBiological predisposition to rapidly learn a response to a particular class of stimuli
- 18Conditioned taste aversionAcquired disgust/dislike of food/drink because it was paired with illness
