Module 15 - Psych
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Learning | relatively permanent change in behavior |
| Ivan Pavlov | developed the frame work for learning called classical conditioning |
| Classical Conditioning | a stimulus brings a response after it is paired with a stimulus that naturally brings about that response |
| Neutral Stimulus | stimulus before conditioning does not bring about response of interest |
| Unconditioned Stimulus | a stimulus that naturally brings about a particular response without having been learned |
| Unconditioned Response | a response that is natural and needs no training |
| Conditioned Stimulus | a once-neutral stimulus that has been paired with an unconditional stimulus to bring about a response formerly caused by the unconditioned stimulus |
| Conditioned Response | a response that, after conditioning, follows a previously neutral stimulus |
| Extinction | a previously conditioned response decreases in frequency and eventually disappears |
| Spontaneous Recovery | the reemergence of an extinguished conditioned response after a period of rest and with no further conditioning |
| Stimulus Generalization | a process in which, after a stimulus has been conditioned to produce a particular response, stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus produce the same response |
| Stimulus Discrimination | the process that occurs if two stimuli are sufficiently distinct from one another that one evokes a conditioned response but the other does not; the ability to differentiate between stimuli |
