BEHP 2011 - Unit 3
Unit 3
| 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 |
