Learning Chapter 7
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience. | Learning |
| Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli or a response and its consequences. | Associative Learning |
| A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. | Classical Conditioning |
| Studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Should be an objective science. | Behaviorism |
| Unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus such as salivation when food is in the mouth. | Unconditioned response |
| In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally-naturally and automatically- triggers a response. | unconditioned stimulus |
| the learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. | conditioned response |
| an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response. | conditioned stimulus |
| the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so tat the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response. | acquisition |
| procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second conditioned stimulus. | higher-order conditioning |
| the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus; occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced. | extinction |
| the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response. | spontaneous recovery |
| the tendency once a response has been conditioned for similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses. | generalization |
| the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus. | discrimination |
