Phobias | Irrational fears and anxiety's |
Desensitization Therapy | Therapy designed to reduce sensitivity to a feared stimulus. |
Who was Joseph Wolpe? | He expanded the idea of relearning a response to include reciprocal inhibition. |
Reciprocal Inhibition | when 2 opposing muscles work in sync |
Systematic desensitization | A process that trains individuals with phobias with relaxation techniques and then exposes them to progressively more anxiety-provoking stimuli. |
Biofeedback | monitors heart rate, blood pressure |
Latent learning | When someone learns something but doesn't show the behavior right away |
Edward Tolman | Attempted to teach rats to run a maze |
Cognitive map | allow organisms to acquire, store, and recall information. |
Who is Resdora? | he demonstrated that cognition is at work within classical conditioning. |
Contingency theory | for learning to take place, a stimulus must provide a organism with a reliable signal. |
Instinctive drift | reversion to a natural behavior |
Abstract learning | understanding qualities such as love, hate, honesty |
Insight learning | A sudden realization that "just came to you" |
Premack principle | A person will perform a less desirable activity in order to perform the more desirable activity as a consequence |
Learned helplessness | a mental state in which an organism continues to feel an unpleasant stimulus |

Behaviorism | the view that psychology should be an objective science that studies behavior without reference to mental processes |
Unconditioned response | behavior that is reflexive |
Unconditioned stimulus | a stimuli that automatically triggers a natural response |
Conditioned response | the learned response to previously neutral stimuli |
Conditioned stimuli | an irrelevant stimulus is associated with an unconditioned stimulus. Triggering a conditioned response. |
Acquisition | The formation of a learned association |
Generalization | a response to another stimuli that is similar to the conditioned response |
Chaining | process used to combine learned behaviors |
Shaping | a series of reinforcements to crate more complex behavior |
Contiguity | the closeness in time between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus |
Avoidance behavior | specific behaviors people use to ensure they are not involved in a situation |
Superstitious behaviors | behavior that is accidentally reinforced |
parietal reinforcement | Not reinforcing a response every time |
Primary reinforcement | satisfies biological needs |
