11- Respondent Conditioning Flashcards
1
Q
Limitations of innate responses
A
- Stimulus must be physically present in environment
- Little opportunity to modify response (‘trial-and-error learning’)
- Modification on an evolutionary (phylogenetic) time scale, not on an individuals (ontogenetic) time scale
2
Q
What is non-associative learning
A
Learning that stimuli exist in the world
3
Q
What is associative learning
A
- Learning associations between stimuli/events
- Learning association between actions and stimuli/events
4
Q
What is habituation
A
Learned suppression of a response to a repeated stimulus
5
Q
Factors that affect classical conditioning
A
- Magnitude of conditioned response
- Probability of conditioned response
6
Q
What is acquisition in classical conditioning
A
When CS-US is reinforced
7
Q
What is extinction in classical conditioning
A
When reinforcement is removed
8
Q
What is spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning
A
- Passage of time after extinction
- Retest CS
9
Q
What is reacquisition in classical conditioning
A
When CS is relearned
