Learning Quest
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Learning | a relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience |
| 4 Types of Learning | classical conditioning, operant conditioning, social conditioning, cognitive approach |
| Classical Conditioning | association, cause + effect, involuntary Pavlov |
| Dog Experiment | UCS --> UCR NS + UCS --> UCR CS --> CR |
| UCS | Unconditioned Stimulus a stimulus that naturally triggers a response |
| UCR | Unconditioned Response naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus |
| NS | Natural Stimulus |
| CS | Conditioned Stimulus after conditioning, triggers a conditioned response |
| CR | Conditioned Response a response to a previously natural stimulus |
| Watson | Little Albert instrumental condionting |
| Acquisition | occurs during beginning of conditioning phase where associating neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus first 3 times |
| Generalization | where similar stimulus signal similar responces |
| Extinction | when stimulus is taken away, response is gone |
| Spontaneous Recovery | reappearance of conditioned response |
| Discrimination | distinguish between different stimuli |
| Operant Conditioning | Skinner voluntary system of rewards + punishment operates on environment |
| Reinforcement | Primary: necessary for survival Secondary: praise (become primary once those are fulfilled) Punishment: weakens a response with something unpleasant |
| Schedules of Reinforcement | Variable Ratio Fixed Ratio Variable Interval Fixed Interval |
| Variable Ratio | provide reinforcement after an unpredictable number of responses ex. slot machines, fly-casting |
| Fixed Ratio | reinforcement after a set number of responses |
| Variable Interval | "happen at any time" ex. "you've got mail" |
| Fixed Interval | reinforcement after a fixed time period ex. pay check |
