| why is sleep important? | cleans waste from brain. restore function helps immune system, allows muscles to relax, integrates new memories with old, no sleep can result in illness, etc... |
| stages of sleep | stage 1-NREM (theta (slow) waves, quick wake) , stage 2-NREM (sleep spindles (bursts activity) K complexes (high spikes acitivity) delta waves (larger, slower), stage 3 (delta wave 20%), stage 4 (delta 50%, heart blood rate slowest, sleep walk), REM |
| difference between REM and NREM | REM- starts afrer 90 min, brain active, visual and motor neurons active, DREAMING
NREM- no dream, cycles, |
| sleep disorders | dyssmomnias- impact amount of quality sleep

US- |
| little albert | rayner and watson conditioned a emotional response of fear in child of something that no fear was associated to ... (another example... smell of fav person = calm, bad car accident = fear) |
| JOHN WATSON | american psychologist. behaviorism. little albert... environmental events vs human OBSERVABLE behavior |
| conditioning and phobias | biologically prepared to develop phobias that could ave harmed in evolutionary past |
| stimulus generalization and discrimination | generalization- stimuli similar to CS causes a CR
discrimination- CR occurs with one stimulus but not another |
| cognitive of classical | in order to occur the CS stimulus must be RELIABLE signal for US. -- flashing lights then train... tone then shock. |
| evolutionary of classical | conditioned taste--- internal stimuli (nausea, stomach ache) with taste
external stimuli with pain (flash light, noise)
NOT ALL NEUTRAL STIMULI CAN BECOME CS (BIOLOGICAL PREPARD GARCIA) |
| operant conditioning | = any active behavior that operates on environment to generate consequences. involves voluntary BEHAVIOR. positive = operant with positive stimulus add (hug, check)and negative = removal or avoid stimulus (seatbelt so no beep, aspirin =no ache) |
| REINFORCERS | primary- natural (food warm, sex)
conditioned- not natural (money, grades, degree, check) |
| punishment | negative = removal of a desired stimulus (time out playing too rough, bonus taken away for being alte too much)
positive= behavior followed by stimulus (spank kid, yelled by boss) |
| reinforcement schedule | continuous- reinforce desired response each time
partial- reinforce part of time (greater resistance to extinciton) |
| schedules of reinforcement | fixed ratio- reinforce a response after specified number (every 10 coffee 1 free)
variable ratio- reinforces a response after unpredictable number (gambling , fishing)
fixed interval- reinforce after specific time (quiz every 4 weeks) |
| INTERAVAL CONT | variable interval- reinforce unpredictable times (pop quiz, whiny kid)--hardest |
| learned helpless | passive behavior after exposure to inescapable or uncontrollable event ... poverty..
self fufill- the way u think impact the likliness to happen |
| cognitive of operant | learning takes place without reward.... reward impact performance. |
| mirror neurons | neurons active during operational learning.... parter feels pain u feel the pain and empathy too. |
