Question
Answer
learning   a relatively permanent chagne in an organisms behavior due to experience  
🗑
associate learning   learning that certa events cocur together  
🗑
behaviorism   the view that psychology should bean obejtive science that sudies behavior without refernecfe to mental process  
🗑
clasic conditions   a type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli. a neutral stimulus that signals an UCS begins to produce a response that anticipates and prepares for unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
UCR   in class conditioning, the unlearned, naturally corruing rsponse to the ucs such as salvation when food is in the mouth  
🗑
ucs   in classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally, unnaturally and automatically triggers a response  
🗑
cr   in classical conditioning, the leanred response to a previously netural conditioned stimulus  
🗑
cs   in classical conditioning an origianlly netural stimulus hat after association with an unconditioned stmulus comes to trigger a conditioned repsonse  
🗑
acquisition   the initial stage of learning, during which a response is established and gradually strengthened. in classical conditioning, the phase in which a stimulus comes to evoke a conditioned response. in operant, the strenthening of a reinforced response  
🗑
extinction   the diminsihing of a conditioned reponse; occurs in a classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus; occurs inoperant conditing when a repsosne is no longer reinforced  
🗑
spontaneous recovery   the reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished conidtioned response  
🗑
generalization   the tendency, onc e arepsonse has been conditioned for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar response  
🗑
discrimination   in classical conditioning, the ability to distinguish between a codtioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an uncondtioned stimulus. in operant conditining, responding differently to stimuli that signal a behavior will be reinforced or wont  
🗑
operant conditioning   a type of leraning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by reinforcement or diminished if followed by punihsment WATSON  
🗑
respondent behavior   behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus; skinners term for behavior learned through classical conditioning SKINNER  
🗑
operant behavior   behavior that operates on the environment producing consequences  
🗑
law of effect   thorndikes principle that behaviors followed by faorable consequences become more likely, and that beaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely TORNDIKE  
🗑
skinner box   a chamber containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforcer; with attached devices to record the aniamsl rate of bar pressing or key pecking. used in operant conditionging research  
🗑
shaping   an operant conditoning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of a desired goal  
🗑
primary reinforcer   an innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need  
🗑
secondary reinforcer   a conditional reinforcer; a stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer  
🗑
continuous reinforcement   reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs  
🗑
partial reinforcement   reinforcing a response only part of the time, results in slower acquisition of response but much greater resistance to extinction than does continous reinforcement  
🗑
fixed-ratio schedule   in operant conditing, a schedule of reinforcement that reinfoces a response only after a specified number of responses  
🗑
variable-ratio schedule   in operant conditing a schedule of reinforcement that reinfoces a response after an unpredictable number of responses  
🗑
fixed-interval schedule   in operant conditing, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals  
🗑
punishemnt   an aversive event that decreases the behavior that it follows  
🗑
cognitive map   a mental responsetation of the layout of ones environment. for example, after exploring a maze, rats act as if they ahve learned a cognitive map of it  
🗑
lantent learning   learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incenetive to demonstrate it  
🗑
overjustification effect   the effect of promising a reward for doign what one already lieks to do. the person may now see the reward, rather than the intrinsic interest, as the motivationfor performing the task. SKINNER  
🗑
prosocial behavior   psotiive, constructive, helpful beheavior. BANDURA  
🗑
observational learning   learning by observing and imitating the behavior of others  
🗑
model   the process of observing and imitating a behvior  
🗑
