Question
Answer
Learning   relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience  
🗑
Association   Learning to associate two events  
🗑
Conditioning   Process of learning associations  
🗑
Unconditioned stimulus   automatically and naturally triggers a response  
🗑
Unconditioned Response   unlearned, naturally occuring response to the unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
Conditioned stimulus   originally irrelevant stiumulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response  
🗑
Conditioned response   learned response to a previously neutral conditioned stimulus  
🗑
Acquisition   association between a neutral simulus and an unconditioned stimulus takes place  
🗑
Extincion   diminishing of a conditioned response  
🗑
Spontaneous recovery   after a rest period, an extinguished CR spontaneously recovers  
🗑
Stimulus generalization   tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the CS  
🗑
Stimulus discrimination   discrimination is the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus  
🗑
Classical conditioning   assosiations between stimuli, respondent behavior  
🗑
Operant Conditioning   association between behaviors and the results  
🗑
Law of Effect   Favorable consequences=more likely Unfavorable consequences= less likely  
🗑
Primary Reinforcers   unlearned, innate ex) food, sex  
🗑
Conditioned reinforcers   learned by association ex) money, good grades, praise, trophies, awards  
🗑
Positive Reinforcement   + desirable stimulus ex) pet a dog when you call it  
🗑
Negative Reinforcement   - aversive stimulus ex) fasten seatbelt to end beeping  
🗑
Positive punishment   + aversive stimulus ex) spray water on a barking dog  
🗑
Negative Punishment   - rewarding stimulus ex) take away misbehaving child's phone  
🗑
How does positive punishment work?   presenting an aversive consequence after an undesired behavior is exhibited, making the behavior less likely to happen in the future  
🗑
How does negative punishment work?   it happens when a certain reinforcing stimulus is removed after a particular undesired behavior is exhibited, resulting in the behavior happening less often in the future  
🗑
Fixed Ratio   reinforce a response only after a specific number of responses IE: factory workers get paid after every 10 cases of product are completed  
🗑
Variable Ratio   Schedule that reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses IE: slot machine pay-offs  
🗑
Fixed Interval   Reinforce a response only after a specific time has elapsed IE: weekly or monthly paychecks  
🗑
Variable Interval   Reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals IE: Random visit from boss who delivers praise  
🗑
Shaping   gradually changing behavior  
🗑
Biofeedback   recording and feeding back physiological information  
🗑
Instinctive Drift   gradually revert to bio predisposition  
🗑
Latent Learning   learning not apparent until it is needed  
🗑
Preparedness   bio predisposition to learn associations that have survival value  
🗑
Insight learning   sudden realization of a solution as opposed to a strategy based solution  
🗑
Intrinsic   done for its own sake  
🗑
Extrinsic   done for reward or to avoid punishment  
🗑
Intrinsic motivation   generally more powerful  
🗑
Extrinsic motivation   can be problematic  
🗑
Problem focused coping   Directly focused on confronting the stressor ex) stressed about test- study  
🗑
Emotion focused coping   ignoring stressor and meet emotional needs ex) stressed about test- do somthing you're good at instead  
🗑
External locus   fate is determined by things outside of our control  
🗑
Internal locus   control impulses and delay short term gratification  
🗑
Modeling   oberving and imitating specific behavior  
🗑
Bobo doll experiment- Bandura   children imitated acts and words  
🗑
Observational learning   social learning  
🗑
The process of observing and imitating specific behavior   modeling  
🗑
Mirror Neurons   frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing certain actions or when observing others do so  
🗑


   

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.
