Question | Answer |
---|---|
Simple Reflex | controlled at spinal cord by a two neuron pathway (receptor => motor) |
Fixed Action Pattern | innate behavioral responses to specific patterns of stimulation |
Releaser | stimulus that elicits the behavior of a fixed action pattern |
Reticular Activating System | startle response; cocktail party effect |
Habituation | repeated stimulation results in decreased responsiveness; simplest learning pattern |
Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning | association b/w normally autonomic response with an environment stimulus ‑Unconditioned stimulus (food); unconditioned response (salivation) ‑Neutral Stimulus (becomes conditioned stimulus); conditioned reflex |
Operant Conditioning | involves conditioning responses to stimuli with the use of reward or reinforcement; BF Skinner Positive Reinforcement |
Negative Reinforcement | rewarded for LACK of certain behavior; LESS likely to repeat behavior; negative connection b/w action and reward |
Punishment | conditioning so that an organism will stop exhibiting a given behavior; organism is LESS likely to repeat response |
Extinction | gradual elimination of response; “unlearning” |
Imprinting | environmental patterns/ objects presented to a developing organism during the “critical period” become accepted permanently as an element of their behavior; ex duckling |
Critical Period | time periods during early development when organism is able to develop specific behavioral patterns |
Releaser Pheromones | trigger a reversible behavioral change in the recipient |
Primer Pheromones | produce long term behavioral/ physiological alterations in recipient |
