Question
Answer
Learning   change in an organism's behavior or thought as a result of experience  
🗑
Classical Conditioning   learning through association of paired stimuli  
🗑
who identified classical conditioning   Ivan Pavlov  
🗑
% features of classical conditioning   1. Neutral Stimulus 2. Unconditioned Stimulus 3. Unconditioned Response 4. Conditioned Stimulus 5. Conditioned Response  
🗑
Neutral stimulus   until conditioned to pair with something else, the NS has no impact 1. no biologically imperative response 2. non-threatening, non-activating  
🗑
What does unconditioned stimulus lead to?   leads to unconditioned response reflexively, automatically  
🗑
acquisition   phase when CR is established (new association is acquired/learned)  
🗑
extinction   reduction/elimination of CR after CS presented repeatedly without UCS  
🗑
Spontaneous Recovery   when conditioning returns (often less strong) after having been previously extinguished  
🗑
Renewal effect   when conditioning extinguished in one context re-appears in another  
🗑
Stimulus generalization   similar CS's eliciting same CR (different bell pitch giving the same response)  
🗑
Stimulus discrimination   when CS are too different and no longer elicit the same CR (or any response at all)  
🗑
preparedness   when a stimulus is easily associated due to its type  
🗑
latent inhibition   when conditioning difficult to establish due to prior or other frequent encounters with NS by itself  
🗑
Higher Order Conditioning   process of developing classically conditioned responses to CS's associated with original CS  
🗑
Operant conditioning   aka "instrumental conditioning" learning controlled by the consequences of the animals voluntary behavior  
🗑
consequences   can be good, bad, neutral, exciting, boring  
🗑
Law of effect   If we're rewarded for a response to a stimulus, we're more likely to repeat that response to the stimulus in the future.  
🗑
reinforcement   increases probability of behavior  
🗑
punishment   decreases probability of behavior  
🗑
positive   giving or adding a stimulus  
🗑
negative   removing or taking away stimulus  
🗑
positive reinforcement   adding some stimuli to the subject which is meant to increase the desired behavior  
🗑
negative reinforcement   removing some stimuli, which is then meant to increase the desired behavior  
🗑
positive punishment   adding some stimuli which is meant to decrease an undesirable behavior  
🗑
negative punishment   removing some stimuli, which is then meant to decrease an undesirable behavior  
🗑
which is more effective punishment or reinforcement   reinforcement is more effective  
🗑
reinforcement schedule   refers to a pattern of delivering reinforcers  
🗑
continuous reinforcement   consequences linked to behavior every time  
🗑
partial reinforcement   consequences occur some of the time  
🗑
ratio   reinforcement administered based on the number of behaviors committed  
🗑
interval   reinforcement administered based on time spans  
🗑
observational learning   learning through watching others  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
