Question
Answer
habituation   show
🗑
dishabituation   show
🗑
Classical Conditioning   show
🗑
show stimulus that reliably triggers a particular response (UR) without prior training e.g. food in animal's mouth  
🗑
show response elicited by unconditioned stimulus without prior training e.g. salivation due to food  
🗑
show initially neutral stimulus, that comes to elicit a new response (CR) due to pairings with the US e.g. bell, after conditioning, signals food  
🗑
conditioned response (CR) [CLASSICAL CONDITIONING]   show
🗑
second-order conditioning [CLASSICAL]   show
🗑
show weakening of a learned response that is produced if a CS is now repeatedly presented without the US  
🗑
spontaneous recovery   show
🗑
show tendency for stimuli similar to those used during learning to elicit a reaction similar to the learned response  
🗑
discrimination   show
🗑
inhibitor   show
🗑
contiguity   show
🗑
show CS provides info about US's arrival, and is the key to classical conditioning  
🗑
blocking effect   show
🗑
compensatory response   show
🗑
show form of learning, participant receives a reinforcer only after performing the desired response, and therby learns a relationship between the response and the reinforcer  
🗑
law of effect [INSTRUMENTAL]   show
🗑
show In Skinner's system, an instrumental response that is defined by its effect (the way it operates) on the environment  
🗑
show a stimulus delivered after a response that makes the response more likely in the future  
🗑
show process of eliciting a desired response by rewarding behaviors that are increasingly similar to that response  
🗑
behavioral contrast   show
🗑
partial reinforcement   show
🗑
schedule of reinforcement   show
🗑
show pattern of delivering reinforcements only after a certain number of responses  
🗑
interval schedule   show
🗑
show learning that occurs without a corresponding change in behavior  
🗑
Edward C Tolman   show
🗑
show condition of passivity, created by exposure to inescapable aversive events. Condition inhibits/prevents learning in later situations in which escape or avoidance is possible  
🗑
show process of watching how /others/ behave and learning from their example  
🗑
vicarious conditioning   show
🗑
mirror neurons   show
🗑
show form of learning, an organism learns to avoid a taste after just one pairing of that taste with illness (e.g. distaste of vodka because of overindulgence)  
🗑
show form of learning, occurs without extensive training because of an evolved predisposition to the behavior (e.g. humans naturally associate aversive outcomes with snakes)  
🗑
show documented in studies of APYLSIA, process that underlies many kinds of learning, occurs when learning results in an increased release of neurotransmitter into the synapse  
🗑
long-term potentiation (LTP)   show
🗑


   

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.
