Term
Definition
show Study of behavior with learning as the center piece  
🗑
show It describes learning an association between 2 stimuli (unlike conditioning) but describes the attenuation of a current response eg. humans eventually get used to constant loud noise  
🗑
Sensitisation (or dihabituation)   show
🗑
Sensitise or habituate   show
🗑
Classical Conditioning   show
🗑
show They measure the salivary response to food and noticed that the salivary process happened before the presentation of food. He tested this idea directly with tones. They sound a tone every time the dog gets food. Dog begins to salivate to the tone, even w  
🗑
show The CR is similar to but weaker than UCR. This is a basic learning process that occurs across species. Its function is to alert organisms to an important upcoming event. If salivation can be conditioned, so might a whole lot of other bodily responses.  
🗑
Acquisition   show
🗑
show If CS (tone) is continually presented without UCS the strength of the CR reduces until it disappears  
🗑
show After extinction, a rest period with no further learning trials usually results in recovery CR however it is much weaker  
🗑
The principle of temporal contiguity   show
🗑
Generalistation   show
🗑
show A stimulus markedly different will not elicit a CR  
🗑
show Hungry dog get repeated tone-food pairings. Tone becomes CS with salvation as CR. Now show black square prior to tone (no food)Square eventually becomes a CS which can be elicit salivation on it's own. The whole chain of items associate with a response  
🗑
Conditioned fear (Watson and Rayner (1920)   show
🗑
show Exposure to the stimulus (cs) without the UCS allowing extinction to occur  
🗑
show Intense exposure to trigger stimulus,anxiety at maximum level- no adverse consequences-problem is phobic has to stay in room  
🗑
show Graduated exposure to the trigger stimulus-same idea but less likely that the patient will do a runner  
🗑
show Classical conditioning has also been linked to fetishism. Ralph McGuire got his trainees has a fetish of shoes  
🗑
Aversion   show
🗑
Operant Conditioning   show
🗑
Thorndike's puzzle box   show
🗑
Law of Effect   show
🗑
show Behavior is shaped and maintained by it's consequences. Base on the study of the effect that patterns of rewards and costs made contingent on EMITTED responses (classical conditioning is based on ELICITED responses)  
🗑
show A class of behavior on which a reinforcer is made contingent. Behaviour operate upon the environment to produce a change in the enviroment  
🗑
Reinforcement   show
🗑
Punishment   show
🗑
Antecedent   show
🗑
show They way the animal emits  
🗑
show Some effect that the environment then has upon the animal based upon it's earlier behaviour  
🗑
Discriminative Stimuli   show
🗑
Primary reinforcement   show
🗑
show Stimuli that acquire reinforcing properties through their association with primary reinforces eg money, praise ect  
🗑
show Weakening and eventually disappearance of a behaviour that is no longer reinforced.  
🗑
Resistant to Extinction   show
🗑
show Complex or unlikely behaviour pattern can be established by animals by a successive approximations to the desired response pattern  
🗑
show Conditioning several behaviours to happen in succession and be dependent on a prior response  
🗑
show The response will ocur with other antecedents that are similar to the one with initially present during learning  
🗑
Operant discrimination   show
🗑
show Reinforces occur at different frequencies in real life and this determines the strength of reinforcement.  
🗑
Continuous reinforcement   show
🗑
Partial reinforcement   show
🗑
show Some antecedent predicts the onset of the unpleasent stimulus allowing the animal to avoid it via an appropriate behavioral response.  
🗑
Evolution   show
🗑
show animals are hardwired to learn certain associations much better than other.  
🗑
show Rats liking from a drinking tube, Simultaneously exposed to sweet water, light and buzzer. Then irradiated to cause nausea  
🗑
Fear   show
🗑
show Some institutional behaviours are too strong and simply 'override' learning  
🗑
show Found that rats could learn cognitive maps with no rials with no reinforcer on 11th trial, rats performed the maze with thr same degree as those had already had 10 trials with food reinforcement  
🗑
Expectancy-Rescorla (1968)   show
🗑
Kamin blocking effect   show
🗑
Attentional models   show
🗑
Latent inhibition   show
🗑
observational learnig   show
🗑
