Answer
What is Developmental Plasticity?   show
🗑
show It is the brains' flexibility and ability to adjust

🗑
What is Experience-Dependant Learning?   show
🗑
show Learning that occurs through an experience that takes place and that the brain is expecting  
🗑
show The specific period during which an organism is most vulnerable to the absence of certain stimuli or experiences  
🗑
show A relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience  
🗑
show A fixed-action pattern  
🗑
How do you know if Learning has taken place?   show
🗑
show Is an AUTOMATIC and INVOLUNTARY behaviour that dies not require prior experience and occurs the same way each time  
🗑
Name 3 Newborn Reflexes   show
🗑
What are Fixed-Action Patterns?   show
🗑
show They are more common in lower order species such as insects and smaller vertebrates  
🗑
show A developmental process towards maturity, based on the orderly sequence of changes that occur in the nervous system and other bodily structures controlled by genes  
🗑
show It sorts new declarative information and links to lobes (such as occipital for visual memory and written words)  
🗑
show It is the process of learning associations between a stimulus in the environment (one event) and a behavioral response (another event)  
🗑
Define "Classical Conditioning"   show
🗑
Who was the Scientist/Psychologist most famous for their research into Classical Conditioning?   show
🗑
show The name given to the Conditioned Stimulus before it becomes conditioned  
🗑
show The stimulus that is neutral at the beginning, but eventually causes a response because of the association with the unconditioned  
🗑
Define "The Unconditioned Stimulus"   show
🗑
show A response which occurs automatically when the UCS is present  
🗑
show The behaviour which is identical to the UCR but happens after aquisition  
🗑
Define "Extinction" (in relation to Classical Conditioning)   show
🗑
show It occurs after extinction and if the  
🗑
show When an organism will respond by producing a CR to stimuli that is similar to the CS  
🗑
show When the organism will only respond to the CS and no other stimuli  
🗑
show Direct contact with the anxiety or fear producing stimuli  
🗑
Define "Aversion Therapy"   show
🗑
What is "Operant Conditioning"?   show
🗑
Define "Operant"   show
🗑
What is Operant Conditioning also known as?   show
🗑
show 1. Discimative Stimulus (Antecedent) 2. Response (Behaviour) 3. Consequence  
🗑
What is the Discrimative Stimulus?   show
🗑
What is the Response?   show
🗑
What is the Consequence?   show
🗑
show Any stimulus (event or action) that subsequently or increases or decreases the likelihood of the response (behaviour) that is follows  
🗑
show A stimulus which strengthens a response by providing a pleasant or satisfying consequence  
🗑
show A stimulus that strengthens a response by the REDUCTION, removal or prevention of an unpleasant stimulus  
🗑
show Delivery of a stimulus following an undesirable behaviour  
🗑
show The removal of a stimulus following an undesired response  
🗑
show The presentation of the  
🗑
show Plan for how often a learnt response response is reinforcement (can be Continuous or Partial)  
🗑
show When the individual always receives reward after giving correct responses  
🗑
What is a Partial Schedule of Reinforcement?   show
🗑
show It is a set consequence after a certain number of correct responses  
🗑
show It is most effective during acquisition  
🗑
What is "Variable ratio"?   show
🗑
show Highly effective and highly resistant to extinction  
🗑
What is "Fixed Interval"?   show
🗑
How effective is "Fixed Interval"?   show
🗑
What is "Variable Interval"?   show
🗑
show Low but inconsistent  
🗑
show It is a procedure in which a reinforcer is given for a response that successively approximates and ultimately leads to the desired response or target behaviour  
🗑
What is "Token Economy"?   show
🗑
What is "Observational Learning"?   show
🗑
show 1. Attention 2. Retention 3. Reproduction 4. Motivation 5. Reinforcement  
🗑
What are 3 types of Observational Learning?   show
🗑
