Question
Answer
Learning   permanent change in behavior due to experience  
🗑
Associative Learning   Learning occurs between 2 events together ie. Bell=food, or Toilet Flush=hot  
🗑
Classical Conditioning   AKA Pavlovian Conditioning A neutral stimulus signals an unconditioned stimulus begins to produce a response that anticipates and preps for unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
Behaviorism   1-psychology=objective science 2-studies behavior without reference to mental process  
🗑
UCR,   Unconditioned response (the natural response one reacts to an unconditioned stimuli) usually same as the CR (conditioned response)  
🗑
UCS,   Unconditioned Stimulus (the stimuli that causes the unconditioned response)  
🗑
CR   Conditioned Response (response to a previously neutral conditioned stimuli) -trained response  
🗑
CS   Conditioned Stimuli (the originally neutral stimuli which later on becomes the stimuli that triggers the conditioned response.)  
🗑
Aquisition   the first stage in classical conditioning -phase where the unconditional stimulus is associated with the neutral stimulus In Operant, it is the strengthening of a reinforced response  
🗑
Exctinction   the diminishing of a conditioned response -occurs when a response is no longer reinforced  
🗑
Spontaneous Recovery   the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response  
🗑
Generalization   the tendency for stimuli similar to conditioned stimulus when the response was once conditioned  
🗑
Discrimination   -ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
Operant Conditioning   behavior is strengthen if followed by a reinforcer behavior is diminished if followed by a punishment  
🗑
Respondent Behaviour   behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus  
🗑
Operant Behaviour   behavior that operates on the environment producing consequences  
🗑
Law of effect   Thorndike's principle -behavior is followed by favorable consequences occur more often and behavior followed by unfavourable consequences occur less likely  
🗑
Operant Chamber (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 animal's rate of bar pressing or key pecking. (operant conditioning research.)  
🗑
Shaping   operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximation of a desired goal. ie. dog drives car  
🗑
Reinforcer   in operant Conditioning- event that strengthens the behaviour  
🗑
Primary Reinforcer   an innately reinforcing stimulus ie. one that satisfy a biological need  
🗑
Conditioned Reinforcer   a stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer (AKA secondary reinforcer) ie.Money=goodgrades at school  
🗑
Continuous Reinforcement   reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs ie. give candy as reward of doing something you want them to do.  
🗑
Partial (intermittent) reinforcement   -reinforcing a response only part of a time -slower acquisition of a response but much greater resistance to extinctint ie. giving candy only when u feel like they have done well enough  
🗑
Fixed-ratio Schedule   in operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specific # of responses  
🗑
variable-ratio schedule   in operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after an unpredictable # of responses  
🗑
fixed-interval schedule   in operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specific time frame has passed  
🗑
variable-interval schedule   in operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after an unpredictable time frame.  
🗑
punishment   an event that decreases the behavior  
🗑
cognitive map   mental representation of one's environment  
🗑
Latent Learning   unapparent learning occurs till one has a necessity to demonstrate it  
🗑
overjustification effect   rewarding someone something they already like to do  
🗑
intrinsic motivation   desire to preform a behavior for their own sake and own effectiveness (self willingly)  
🗑
extrinsic motivation   a desire to preform a behavior due to promised rewards(treats) or punishments (threats)  
🗑
observational Learning   monkey see monkey do  
🗑
Modeling   learning by watching and imitating a specific behavior  
🗑
Mirror Neurons   Frontal Lobe neurons that fires when performing certain actions or when observing someone else's actions -the brain enables imitation, language learning and empathy  
🗑
prosocial behavior   positive, constructive, and helpful behavior  
🗑
antisocial behavior   negative, destructive, and unhelpful behavor  
🗑
