Basic Principles of Learning

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Unconditional Stimulus (UCS)   A stimulus that can elicit inborn response w/o any learning  
🗑
Unconditional Response (UCR)   An unlearned, inborn reaction to unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
Conditioned stimulus (CS)   Stimulus that comes to elicit responses as a result of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
Conditioned Response (CR)   Response that is similar or identical to unconditioned response that comes to be elicited by a conditioned stimulus.  
🗑
Classical Conditioning   Form of learning where a previously neutral stimulus (CS) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to elicit a conditioned response(CR) that is identical or very similar to the unconditioned response (UCR)  
🗑
Operant Conditioning   Learning where consequences of behavior lead to changes in probability of its occurrence.  
🗑
Unconditional Stimulus (UCS)   A stimulus that can elicit inborn response w/o any learning  
🗑
Unconditional Response (UCR)   An unlearned, inborn reaction to unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
Conditioned stimulus (CS)   Stimulus that comes to elicit responses as a result of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
Conditioned Response (CR)   Response that is similar or identical to unconditioned response that comes to be elicited by a conditioned stimulus.  
🗑
Classical Conditioning   Form of learning where prev neutral stimulus (CS) paired w/ unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to elicit a conditioned response(CR) that is identical/very similar to unconditioned response (UCR). Takes place because two stimuli are repeatedly paired together  
🗑
Operant Conditioning   Learning where consequences of behavior lead to changes in probability of its occurrence. (Learning from the consequences of our behavior)  
🗑
Extinction   Process of unlearning a learned response, because of original source of learning  
🗑
Partial Reinforcement Effect   Phenomenon where responses that have been reinforced on variable ratio or variable interval schedules are more difficult to extinguish than responses that have been continuously reinforced.  
🗑
Response Prevention   Prevention of avoidance responses to ensure that individual sees that negative consequence will not occur to speed up extinction of avoidance responses  
🗑
Avoidance Learning   The most difficult responses of all to extinguish are responses learned through what?  
🗑
Insight   Form of cognitive change that involves recognition of previously unseen relationships.  
🗑
Harry Harlow   Who showed that ability to solve problems insightfully is itself partially learned.  
🗑
Learning Set   Improvement in rate of learning to solve new problems through practice solving similar problems.  
🗑
Albert Bandura   Who termed 'modeling' which is defined as learning by observing behavior of others  
🗑
Learning   Any relatively permanent change in behavior brought about through experience  
🗑
Disinhibition   Temporary increase in strength of an extinguished response cause by an unrelated stimulus event  
🗑
Spontaneous Recovery   Temporary increase in strength of conditioned response, which is likely to occur during extinction after passage of time.  
🗑
Cognitive Map   inferred mental awareness of structure of a physical space or related elements.  
🗑
Insight   A sudden cognitive change that solved problem. Form of cognitive change that involves recognition of previously unseen relationships  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
