Unit 4 AP Psych Quiz
| Answer | term |
|---|---|
| Learn to associate 2 stimuli and to anticipate events. Allows organisms to adapt to the environment | Classical Conditioning |
| Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus. Like a flash of lighting which signlas that thunder will eventually happen. When the light flashes you learn to brace yourself. | respondent behavior |
| An organisms decreasing response to stimulus with repeated exposure to it. | habituation |
| mental process of gaining knowledge and understanding senses and thoughts. | Cognitive learning |
| A stimulus that naturally and automatically evokes a response like food. | Unconditioned stimulus |
| an unlearned naturally occuring response to US like drooling. | unconditioned response |
| Stimulus that evokes no response before conditioning tones, bells, touch on leg, picture of cirects used in | neutral stimulus |
| Previosly irrevent stimuls NS that comes to trigger a conditioned response after association with US. Like a tone. Always the same as NS. | Conditioned stimulus |
| Learned response to previously neutral but now conditioned stimulus. Like drooling. The same as Unconditioned response. | conditioned response |
| Bell then food. Links NS and US so that the NS triggers CR. Not much time in between pairing . NS mist come before US | Acquistione |
| Linking new CS to new NS. Creating a second weaker conditioned stimulus. Animals wo preics food might learn that light predicts tone nad begin to respond to light alone. Relizeds that light comes on before food. | Higher order conditioning |
| Dimminishing or ellimonation of CR when US does not follow CS any longer. Stop process dog will unlearn process if you dont give food with dog. | extinction |
| After pause the rememberence of extinguished Cr recover old condition from extinction. | spontaneous recovery |
| The tendency that once response has been conditioned similar stimuli will also eliicit similiar responses Respond to similar but different tones. Bay oysters caused all fried food to be bad. | generilization |
| Scared of one not the other. Learned ability to distinguish between cs and stimuli that are different that do not sigjal an US oppositte of generilization. Dont respons to particualr tone. | discrimination |
| human emotions are a bundle of conditined responses to fear something. Influence human health and well being | conditined emotional response |
| using classical conditioning to evoke new responses to stimuli that are triggering unwanted behaviors. SOmone is afraid of spiders so have them trigger relaxation feelings when being around spuders can help remove fear | counterconditioning |
| behavior followed by pleasurable consequences will be repeated, behavior, followed by unfavorable consequences won't be repeated | law of effect |
| Contains bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain food or water reinforcer | operant chamber and skinner box |
| An event that increases the frequency of behavior. Make it happen again. Depends on animal and the conditions for the reinforcer | reinforcment |
| A stimulus that elicts a specific response after an associatoin with reinforments. Going at a green light. | discriminative stimulus |
| A stimulus that increases the frequency of a behavior when removed after a response. Not having to mow the lawn for getting all As on report card. Not same as punishment. Escape unplesentness. Subtract something | negative reinforcment |
| Innatetly reinforcing stimulu like food, water, warmth those that satisfy the biological foods. | primary reinforcers |
| An event that tends to decrease the frequency of behavior that it follows. | punishment |
| Adding a negative. A stimulus that decreases the frequency of a behavior when its presented. After response spraying water on cat ccause of scratching. Verbal scolding pain. | positive punishment |
| Taking away enjoyment. A stimulus that decreases the frequency of a behavior when it is removed after response. TImeout and grounding for child. Taking cell phone away and monetary fines. | negative punishment |
| Reinforcers guide behavior through successive apporiximations repsonses that are closer and closer to the final desiered behavior and ignore the other responses | shaping |
| You add something. A stimulus that increases the frequency of a behavior when presented after a response. Paid money for getting an A on a report card. | Positive reinforcment |
| secondary. A stimuli that gains reinforcing power through assocciation with primary reinforcers. Money good grades and praise. | Conditioned reinforcers |
| Patterns that define how often a desired response will be reinforced | Reinforcment schedules |
| Rapidly reinforcing the behavior every time it occurs. Best choice for mastering behavior however extinction also occurs quickly. Quick Learning | continuous reinforment schedules |
| Reinforcing a response only part of the time. Learning is slower but resistance to extinction is greater. Perfered. | partial intermittend reinforment schedule |
| Reinforce a response only after a specified number of responses. ALways the same. Coffee cards by buying 9 and get 1 free | fixed ratio schedule |
| varies and changes. Slot machines and gambling fishing and unpredictable | variable ratio schedule |
| what is the most consistant response | Variable Schedule |
| How many before i get rewarded. Getting paid every 2 weeks taco tusesday. Reward after specified. | fixed interval schedule |
| Amount of time that goes by. Unpredictable time intervals. Checking for text messages and winning video games | Variable interval `schedule |
