Question
Answer
Learning   is to permanently change in how we do things due to experience  
🗑
Associative learning   is linking two events that occur close together in time  
🗑
Conditioning   the process of learning associations between event and behavioral responses - - -> 2stimulie  
🗑
Classical conditioning   type of learning where we associate 2 stimuli and anticipate events after repetion  
🗑
Operant conditioning P1   to associate a response (behavior) and it consequences learn to repeat behavior followed by desirable results (aka rewards) learn to avoid behaviors by undesirable results( punishment)  
🗑
Ivan Pavlov   Russian Physiologist – studied digestion Famous for coining term Classical Conditioning Conditioned dogs to salivate at a ringing bell  
🗑
Unconditioned stimulus {US} (not learned, natural response)   a stimulus that triggers a response  
🗑
Unconditioned response {UR} (not learned, natural response)   naturally occurring response to the US  
🗑
Neutral stimulus {NS} (Learned )   a stimulus that has been paired with the {US} and has no response or causes  
🗑
Conditioned Stimulus (CS) (learned )   A previously (NS) that is paired with {US} and result,triggers a conditioned response.  
🗑
Conditioned Response (CR) (learned)   a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus (NS) but now a conditioned stimulus  
🗑
Operant Conditioning (voluntary aka your choice )   - organisms connect their own behavior with consequences -Stimulus follows the response and strengthens it - actions followed by reinforcers increase -actions followed by punishers decrease  
🗑
John B. Watson   Classical Conditioning with Humans “Give me a dozen healthy infants allow me to control their environment and I can turn them into whatever I want” –John Watson  
🗑
Edward Thorndike   - placed a cat in a puzzle box with food reward outside the box -concluded that rewarded behavior is likely to reoccur and he called it law of effect - reapted experment many times and observed that cats escaped from the box more quickly over succsesi  
🗑
Stimulus Generalization   Generalize everything Ex: Respond to all ringing sounds  
🗑
Stimulus Discrimination   Response to a specific thing EX: dinner bell  
🗑
Extinction   Dog stops responding to bell because food (US) is never paired with the bell (CS) after the initial learning  
🗑
Spontaneous Recovery   Can only occur after extinction EX:Response to bell appears at a random time after extinction  
🗑
Higher Order Pairing Also called second-order conditioning   Higher Order Pairing Also called second-order conditioning EX: Bell (CS) paired with black square (N) Dog salivates at the black square (CS) alone  
🗑
Mary Cover Jones   First Behavioral Therapist Developed Counterconditioning Method to unlearn fears Works best for children Gave candy while brining the white rat closer to the child  
🗑
Desensitization Therapy   Developed by Joseph Wolpe Treatment for anxiety and fear Cannot be fearful and relaxed at the same time Teaches individuals to relax in fearful or anxious situations  
🗑
B.F.Skinner   Coined Operant Conditioning Focus on Reinforcements Skinner Box Explained Superstitious Behaviors  
🗑
Shaping   Reinforce steps to behavior Ex: Brushing Teeth  
🗑
Chaining   Links separate behaviors Ex: Obstacle course  
🗑
Instinctive Drift   the tendency of learned behavior to gradually revert to biologically predisposed patterns  
🗑
Reinforcements   Reinforcements = encourages behaviors to be repeated Not one size fits all – what is reinforcing for one person/animal many not be to another Ability to Use Primary Reinforcement = ex: food, clothing Secondary Reinforcement = ex: money, token econ  
🗑
Positive Reinforcement   Add pleasant stimulus Examples Complete chores for money Arriving at work on time to receive praise and a pay raise from your boss  
🗑
Negative Reinforcement   Avoid/Stop unpleasant stimulus Escape and Avoidance Learning Examples Driving speed limit to avoid ticket Hitting the snooze button to shut off an annoying alarm  
🗑
Instinctive Drift   the tendency of learned behavior to gradually revert to biologically predisposed patterns  
🗑
Punishment   Punishment = Discourages a behavior  
🗑
Positive Punishment   Add something unpleasant to the situation Ex: Spray water on a barking dog  
🗑
Negative Punishment   Take away something pleasant Omission training Ex: Take away driving privileges  
🗑
Fixed Ratio   Reinforcement after a set amounts of responses Ex: Buy 3 shirts gets 1 free  
🗑
Variable Ratio   Reinforcement after an unknown number of responses Ex: Slot Machines  
🗑
Fixed Interval   Reinforcement after a set period of time Ex: Weekly Exam  
🗑
Variable Interval   Reinforcement after an unpredictable length of time Ex: Pop Quiz  
🗑
Learned Helplessness   the passive resignation a person/animal acquires when unable to avoid repeated aversive events  
🗑
Albert Bandura   - 2016 U.S. National Medal of Science - Pioneering researcher of observational learning - Process of Modeling – learn by watching others - Vicarious Reinforcements / Punishments - Social Learning Theory - The Bobo Doll Study  
🗑
External Locus of Control   The perception that chance or outside forces beyond our personal direction determine our fate  
🗑
Internal Locus of Control   The perception that we direct and create our own fate  
🗑
What is Personal Control?   Our sense of impaction and direction on our environment rather than feeling helpless Our belief in our level of control can determine our choice in coping responses  
🗑
Problem-Focused Coping   Attempt to alleviate stress directly – by changing the stressor or the way we interact with that stressor  
🗑
Emotion-Focused Coping   Attempt to alleviate stress by avoiding or ignoring a stressor and attending to emotional needs related to our stress reactions  
🗑
Extrinsic Motivation   -A desire to perform a behavior to receive promised rewards or avoid threatened punishment - Excessive reward can destroy intrinsic motivation with the overjustification effect  
🗑
Intrinsic Motivation   - A desire to perform a behavior effectively for its own sake -Interest in subject – if there were not grade at stake, would you still be curious to learn the material  
🗑
Insight Learning   A sudden realization of a problem’s solution  
🗑
Latent Learning   Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it 6  
🗑
Continuous Reinforcement   Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs Pro: Learning occurs rapidly Con: Extinction also occurs rapidly  
🗑
Partial Reinforcement   Reinforcing a response only part of the time Occurs more often in real life Pro: resistance to extinction is greater Con: Learning is slower to appear  
🗑
Effective If   Swift – occur soon after behavior Must be sufficient without cruelty Must be consistent  
🗑
Drawbacks   Does not teach correct behavior Resulting unpleasant emotion can deter learning May suggest inflicting pain is justified  
🗑
