Psych Final Ch 7
Ch 7
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Learning | a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience |
| Behaviorism | an approach to psychology that emphasizes the study of observable behavior and the role of the environment as a determinant of behavior ; a data driven, bottom-up research approach |
| Unconditioned stimulus and response | elicits a response in the absence of learning; the reflexive response to a stimulus in the absence of learning |
| Conditioned stimulus and response | an initially neutral stimulus that comes to elicit conditioned response after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus; a response that is elicited by the conditioned stimulus occurs after the CS has been associated with the US (is similar to the US) |
| Extinction | the weakening and eventual disappearance of a learned response; in classical condition, it occurs when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus |
| Stimulus generalization | in classical conditioning, occurs when a new stimulus that resembles the conditioned stimulus elicits the conditioned response |
| Stimulus discrimination | the tendency to respond differently to two or more similar stimuli; in classical conditioning, occurs when a stimulus similar to the conditioned stimulus fails to evoke a conditioned response |
| Classical conditioning | the process by which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the capacity to elicit a response through association with a stimulus that already elicits a similar response |
| Operant conditioning | the process by which a response becomes more likely to occur or less so, depending on its consequences |
| Positive reinforcement | when a pleasant consequence follows a response, making the response more likely to recur |
| Negative reinforcement | when an unpleasant consequence is removed following a response, making the response more likely to recur |
| Positive punishment | when an unpleasant consequence follows a response, making the response less likely to recur |
| Negative punishment | when a pleasant consequence is removed following a response, making the response less likely to recur |
