        Help!  

Question
Answer
show The brain's natural ability (especially during infancy) to form new connections in order to process sensory information from environmental stimulation  
🗑
show It is the brains' flexibility and ability to adjust  
🗑
What is Synaptogenesis?   show
🗑
What is the Sensitive Period in terms of learning?   show
🗑
show Learning that is dependant on exposure to specific experiences at any stage in development  
🗑
show Learning that occurs through an experience that takes place and that the brain is expecting  
🗑
show The specific period during which an organism is most vulnerable to the absence of certain stimuli or experiences  
🗑
show A relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience  
🗑
The mating dance of a bird is an example of...   show
🗑
show We know learning has taken place by noting modifications in the responses of the organism to stimuli provided by the environment  
🗑
Define "Reflex"   show
🗑
show 1. Sucking 2. Grasping 3. Rooting  
🗑
show They are an innate series of movements or behaviours that occur in almost all members of a species  
🗑
show They are more common in lower order species such as insects and smaller vertebrates  
🗑
Define "Maturation"   show
🗑
show It sorts new declarative information and links to lobes (such as occipital for visual memory and written words)  
🗑
Define "Conditioning"   show
🗑
Define "Classical Conditioning"   show
🗑
Who was the Scientist/Psychologist most famous for their research into Classical Conditioning?   show
🗑
show The name given to the Conditioned Stimulus before it becomes conditioned  
🗑
show The stimulus that is neutral at the beginning, but eventually causes a response because of the association with the unconditioned  
🗑
show Any stimulus that consistently produces a particular response (Stage 1 only)  
🗑
Define "The Unconditioned Response"   show
🗑
Define "The Condition Response"   show
🗑
Define "Extinction" (in relation to Classical Conditioning)   show
🗑
Define "Spontaneous Recovery"   show
🗑
show When an organism will respond by producing a CR to stimuli that is similar to the CS  
🗑
show When the organism will only respond to the CS and no other stimuli  
🗑
What is Flooding?   show
🗑
show Blocking and undesirable behaviour by associating it with an aversive (unpleasant) stimulus such as pain; disgust; nausea  
🗑
What is "Operant Conditioning"?   show
🗑
show Any response that acts on the environment to produce some kind of consequence  
🗑
show Instrumental Learning  
🗑
show 1. Discimative Stimulus (Antecedent) 2. Response (Behaviour) 3. Consequence  
🗑
What is the Discrimative Stimulus?   show
🗑
What is the Response?   show
🗑
show It is the environmental event caused by the Response which is caused by the Discrimative Stimulus  
🗑
show Any stimulus (event or action) that subsequently or increases or decreases the likelihood of the response (behaviour) that is follows  
🗑
What is "Positive Reinforcement"?   show
🗑
What is "Negative Reinforcement"?   show
🗑
show Delivery of a stimulus following an undesirable behaviour  
🗑
What is "Negative Punishment"?   show
🗑
show The presentation of the  
🗑
What is the "Schedule of Reinforcement"?   show
🗑
show When the individual always receives reward after giving correct responses  
🗑
show Only some of correct responses are rewarded (it is unpredictable)  
🗑
What is "Fixed Ratio"?   show
🗑
How effective is "Fixed Ratio"?   show
🗑
What is "Variable ratio"?   show
🗑
How effective is "Variable Ratio"?   show
🗑
What is "Fixed Interval"?   show
🗑
How effective is "Fixed Interval"?   show
🗑
show A changing and unpredictable consequence after a time has elapsed (eg. Fishing)  
🗑
How effective is "Variable Interval"?   show
🗑
show It is a procedure in which a reinforcer is given for a response that successively approximates and ultimately leads to the desired response or target behaviour  
🗑
show It is a setting in which an individual receives a token (reinforcer) for a desired behaviour  
🗑
What is "Observational Learning"?   show
🗑
show 1. Attention 2. Retention 3. Reproduction 4. Motivation 5. Reinforcement  
🗑
show 1. Physical Routine 2. Socially Appropriate Behaviour 3. Emotional Responses  
🗑
Define "Attention" (in relation to Observational Learning)?   show
🗑
Define "Retention" (in relation to Observational Learning)?   show
🗑
