Question
Answer
learning   a long term change in mental representations or associations as a result of experience.  
🗑
principles   descriptions of what factors affect learning  
🗑
theories   explanations of why those factors have the effects they do about learning  
🗑
assumptions of behaviorism   generalizability of learning principles, focusing on observable events, 'blank slate.'  
🗑
early behaviorism   learning focused solely on stimulus-response relationships  
🗑
Pavlov   proposed that involuntary responses occur through classical conditioning  
🗑
classical conditioning   two stimuli are presented close together UCS->UCR, UCS+NS=UCR, CS=CR  
🗑
conditioned stimulus   occurring at the same time as an unconditioned stimulus, results in conditioned response  
🗑
conditioned response   result of UCS+NS  
🗑
extinction   if a conditioned stimulus occurs too often without unconditioned stimulus, the response will decrease or disappear  
🗑
spontaneous recovery   if extinction has occurred, the conditioned stimulus can reoccur  
🗑
generalization (behaviorism)   when people react to something similar to the conditioned stimulus  
🗑
stimulus discrimination   separating similar stimuli, so they only respond to the specific stimuli  
🗑
higher order conditioning   a neutral stimulus may become a conditioned stimulus, indirect association  
🗑
sensory preconditioning   a neutral stimulus may become a conditioned stimulus, indirect association  
🗑
counterconditioning   replacing unproductive S-R relationships with more productive ones  
🗑
eliminaing undesirable behaviors   replacing existing S-R connections with more productive ones  
🗑
learning has occurred (behaviorism)   only when you can observe changes in student behavior  
🗑
education implications behaviorism   active responding and practice are critical. need a postive learning environment to elicit pleasant emotions. eliminating undesirable behaviors.  
🗑
law of effect   reward strengthened a response but punishment does not necessarily weaken it  
🗑
operant conditioning   satisfying consequences increase the frequency of voluntary behaviors  
🗑
reward   reinforcement  
🗑
negative reinforcement   gets rid of an unpleasant stimulus  
🗑
instrumental conditioning   encouraging effects of reinforcement and discouraging effects of punishment. not all equally effective  
🗑

🗑
restrictions on processing   students can only process a limited amount of information at once, people are selective in what to process, teachers should guide the selection process (ch7)
