Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
What are 4 types of unlearned environment-behavior relations   1. reflexes 2. kinesis 3. taxis 4. fixed action patterns  
🗑
reflex   simple relation between an antecedent stimulus and a reflex response  
🗑
What type of contingency is a reflex   An S-R relationship  
🗑
elicit   strongly, consistently, and reliably evoke  
🗑
Elicit should be used for   respondent functional relations  
🗑
Elicit should not be used for   operant functional relations  
🗑
unconditioned reflex   simple relation between a specific stimulus and a specific innate, involuntary response  
🗑
reflex responses are stereotypic   highly invariant in form  
🗑
innate means   of phylogenic provenance  
🗑
reflexes are mediated by   autonomic nervous system  
🗑
central cortex is   not involved  
🗑
all members of the species   share the same set of reflexes  
🗑
reflexes are highly   invariant in time of appearance during development  
🗑
involuntary means   it bypasses the central cortex  
🗑
patellar reflex   knee-jerk  
🗑
eye blink reflex   if cornea is touched, a person blinks  
🗑
lachrimal reflex   tears are secreted when eyes are exposed to irritants  
🗑
pupillary reflex   light changes in intensity, pupils change in size  
🗑
respiratory reflex   person inhales and exhales as the pressure of air in lungs change  
🗑
rooting reflex   baby's face is touched, head moves toward person  
🗑
peristalsis   when a person swallows, involuntary contractions pass along esophagus  
🗑
reverse peristalsis   vomiting occurs after eating indigestible food  
🗑
Activation or syndrome reflex   onset of a stimulus that is either very intense, painful, or very unusual results in a high state of physiological arousal  
🗑
unconditioned stimulus   stimulus which elicits an unconditioned response without prior learning; due to innate capacity; part of a reflex  
🗑
unconditioned stimulus is only used   for respondent behavior  
🗑
unconditioned stimulus is never   used for operant behavior  
🗑
unconditioned response   response which is elicited by unconditioned stimulus without prior learning; due to phylogenic provenance  
🗑
unconditioned responses is the   response part of unconditioned reflex  
🗑
unconditioned response must be   elicited by a specific unconditioned stimulus without prior learning  
🗑
habituation   temporary reduction in a reflex response due to repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus (a US or CS)  
🗑
habituation presentations   must occur within a relatively short period of time  
🗑
habituation term   is only used when referring to reflexes  
🗑
adaptation   reduction in the frequency or magnitude of a response or a set of responses as a result of prolonged exposure to a stimulus or environmental context  
🗑
unconditioned stimulus is the stimulus   in an unconditioned reflex  
🗑
the unconditioned stimulus   must elicit an unconditioned response (UR) without prior learning  
🗑
the unconditioned stimuli environmental change   must precede the unconditioned response  
🗑
habituation is   transitory  
🗑
adaptation is not   transitory but relatively permanent  
🗑
adaptation can be used   for both reflexes and/or operant behavior  
🗑
potentiation   temporary increase in some dimension or intensity of a reflex response due to a repeated presentations of an eliciting stimulus; most likely produced by an aversive antecedent stimulus  
🗑
opposite of habituation   potentiation  
🗑
sensitization   tendency of a stimulus to elicit a reflex response following the elicitation of that response by a different stimulus  
🗑
catanias definition of sensitization 2013   eliciting effects of one stimulus are enhanced as a result of presentations of some other stimulus; one stimulus amplifies the eliciting effect of another stimulus  
🗑
catanias definition of sensitization 2007   lowering of a threshold as when prior delivery of an aversive stimulus lowers intensity at which a noise elicits a startle response  
🗑
difference between potentiation and sensitization   potentiation has only one stimulus that repeats; sensitization has two different stimuli  
🗑
respondent conditioning is also known as   classical conditioning and Pavlovian conditioning  
🗑
conditioned reflex   simple relation between a specific conditioned stimulus and a conditioned involuntary response  
🗑
conditioned reflexes are   learned through contingent pairing of neutral stimuli with unconditioned stimuli or other conditioned stimuli  
🗑
conditioned response   almost always highly similar if not identical to the unconditioned response  
🗑
all conditioned reflexes   are based on unconditioned reflexes  
🗑
conditioned reflex is also known as   conditioned responses  
🗑
