Learning
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Learning | The process of acquiring new and relatively enduring information or behaviors. |
Habituation | |
Associative Learning | Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioned) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning) |
Classical Conditioning | A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. |
Behaviorism | The view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2). |
UR Unconditioned Response | In classical conditioning, an unlearned, naturally occurring response to an unconditioned stimulus (US). |
US Unconditioned Stimulus | In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally - naturally and automatically- triggers a response (UR). |
CR Conditioned Response | In classical conditioning, a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS) |
CS Conditioned Stimulus | In classical conditioned, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR). |
Acquisition | In classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response in operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response. |
Higher-order conditioning | A procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioned experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus (also called second 1 order |
