Learning Chapter 7
Question | Answer |
---|---|
A relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience. | Learning |
Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli or a response and its consequences. | Associative Learning |
A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. | Classical Conditioning |
Studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Should be an objective science. | Behaviorism |
Unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus such as salivation when food is in the mouth. | Unconditioned response |
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally-naturally and automatically- triggers a response. | unconditioned stimulus |
the learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. | conditioned response |
an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response. | conditioned stimulus |
the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so tat the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response. | acquisition |
procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second conditioned stimulus. | higher-order conditioning |
the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus; occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced. | extinction |
the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response. | spontaneous recovery |
the tendency once a response has been conditioned for similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses. | generalization |
the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus. | discrimination |
