UNIT3 DEVELOPMENT
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| behavioral persepective | an approach that focuses on observable behaviors and explains learning as the results of experience, especially through conditioning, reinforcement, and punishment, rather than internal thoughts or feelings |
| classical conditioning (CC) | -Ivan pavlov automatic responses are associated with new stimulus (have no control) -Acquisition: initial learning |
| acquisition | initial learning |
| stimulus | any event or situation that triggers a response |
| unconditioned stimulus (UCS, US) | (CC) a stimulus that elicits an automatic or involuntary response -initial stimulus (where no learning has occurred yet) ex: food |
| unconditioned response (UCR, UR) | (CC) any original response that occurs naturally (no learning yet) -naturally occurring response ex: salvation |
| neutral stimulus (NS) | (CC) stimulus that initially does not elicit the reflex or automatic response ex: bell |
| conditioned stimulus (CS) | (CC) neutral stimulus that is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus until it acquires the ability to elicit a response that is previously did not -NS that creates learned response ex: bell |
| conditioned response (CR) | (CC) the leanred or acquired response to a conditioned stimulus (learning has occurred) -learned response ex: salvation |
| higher order conditioning | a news NS becomes a new CS when associated with previous CS -if bell=food, and bell is with light, then light=food |
| extinction | CR diminishes with no CS |
| spontaneous recovery | reappearance of an extinguished response |
| stimulus generalization | similar conditioned stimuli will elicit a response -John Watson Little Albert Experiment |
| stimulus discrimination | distinguish difference between stimuli -can be applied to operant conditioning |
| Little Albert study | experiment that showed how classical conditioning can be used to create a fear response in a child by pairing a neutral stimulus with a scary stimulus -john b Watson and Rosalie raymer |
| conditioned emotional responses | emotional response to a stimuli through classical conditioning -butterflies -phobias |
| taste aversion | we avoid foods that make us sick -one trial conditioning -biological preparpreparedness |
| biological preparedness | predisposition to learn paired responses more quickly |
| habituation | decrease in response to repeated stimulis -you stop noticing your neighbor typing |
| operant conditioning | learning based on consequences -law of effect -BF Skinner: Skinner box=operant conditioning chambers |
| law of effect | desirable effects are repeated, undesirable results are not |
| Skinner box | operant conditioning chambers |
| reinforcer | given to increase behavior |
| reinforcement | any consequence that increases the likelihood that a behavior will happen again |
| primary reinforcers | biologically important (food, water) |
| secondary reinforcers | learned/ money, grades |
| punishment | any consequence that decreases the likelihood that a behavior will occur again |
| consequences | the outcome that follows a behavior, which influences if the behavior will happen again |
| positive reinforcement | the behavior causes something to happen, which encourages the behavior in the future |
| negative reinforcement | the behavior causes something to NOT happen, (something is avoided or subtracted), which encourages the behavior in the future |
| positive punishment | the behavior causes something to happen which discourages the behavior in the future |
| negative punishment | the behavior causes something to NOT happen, which discourages the behavior in the future |
| token economy | exchanged for special privilege |
| shaping | reinforces steps for desired behavior -toilet training -pet trials -watch out for instinctive drift: going back to their animal instinct |
| instinctive drift | the tendency for an animal's learned behavior to gradually revert to its natural instinctive behaviors, even after conditioning |
| superstitious behavior | has no effect on outcome, but still believe -lucky shirt/ # |
| learned helplessness | feel as it they have no control of repeated aversive (bad) events |
| continuous reinforcement | reinforced every time -behavior can be extinguished if not reinforced once or twice |
| partial reinforcement | reinforced some of the time (never know when you're going to get it) -fixed ratio -variable ratio |
| fixed ratio | reinforced after set/certain # of correct responses |
| variable ratio | reinforced after varied # of responses, # changes randomly -ex: slot machine |
| fixed interval | reinforced after correct response after a set amt of time |
| variable interval | reinforced after correct response after a varied amt of time |
| ratio= | number of responses |
| interval= | time |
| fixed= | set |
| variable | random |
| scalloped graph | a pattern of responding in operant conditioning where behavior is slow after reinforcement and then increases rapidly as the next award approaches. |
| cognitive learning | a type of learning that focuses on mental processes such as thinking, problem solving, and memory, instead of just observable behavior -latent learning, cognitive maps |
| latent learning | reinforced later -rats who were not reinforced for doing a maze ran it as quickly as the rats that were reinforced -humans can anticipate future rewards |
| cognitive maps | mental representations of the layout of an environment, which allows a person/ animal to navigate or solve problems using memory rather than trial ---> error |
| insight learning | aha moment (answer might pop in your mind hours later) |
| social learning theory | a theory that individuals learn behaviors through observationg of others, combining behavior and mental processes |
| vicarious conditioning | a learned response or emotion by observing someone else being conditionined, rather than experiencing it directly yourself |
| modeling | learned by observing and imitating the behavior of others |
| Bobo the clown doll experiment | children who watched aggressive model showed aggressive behavior on the doll |
| developmental psychology | studies how people change physically, cognitively, and socially throughout their lifespan, from infancy to old age |
| major issues | nature vs nurture- genes vs experience continuity vs stages- gradual vs abrupt stability vs change- persistant through life vs change as we age |
| research types | cross sectional and longitude |
| cross sectional studies | data from different sources (participants) studied at the same time |
| longitude studies | data from same sources (participants) over a long period of time |

| puberty | the period of sexual maturation during which a person becomes capable of reproducing |
| adolescence milestones | growth spurts and puberty (sexual maturation) -males: spermarche -females: menarche primary sex characteristics secondary sex characteristics |
| spermarche | males, first ejaculation? |

| reversibility | understanding that objects or numbers can be changed and then return to their original condition -if 2+3 = 5, then 3+2 = 5 |
| formal operational stage | (11+) stage during which ppl begin to think logically abt abstract concepts and engage in hypothetical learning -hypothetical -abstract thought |
| hypothetical thinking | involving ideas or situations that are not real, allowing individuals to reason about "what if" scenarios |
| abstract thinking | the ability to think about concepts and ideas that are not physically present or concrete, including hypothetical and moral reasoning |
| lev vygotsky | Russian psychologist who emphasized the role of social interactions and culture in cognitive development, proposing that children learn through guidance -learning is social |
