6.1, 6.2, 6.2.1 Flashcards
Associative learning
Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as u. Classical conditioning) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning)
Classical conditioning
A type of leaving in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events
Unconditioned response
In classical conditioning, the unlearned naturally occurring g response to the unconditioned stimulus such as salivation when food is in the mouth
Unconditioned stimulus
In classical conditioning a stimulus that unconditionally in naturally and automatically triggers a response
Conditioned response
In classical conditioning the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus
Conditioned stimulus
In classical conditioning and originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus comes to trigger a conditioned response
Acquisition
In classical conditioning the initial stage when one links a neural stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the brutal stimulus begins triggering the confit jones response. In operant conditioning the strengthening of a reinforced response
Higher-order conditioning
A procedure j which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new stimulus creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus
Extinction
The diminishing of a conditioned response
Spontaneous recovery
The reappearance after a pause of an extinguished condition response
Generalization
The tendency once a response has been conditioned for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses
Discrimination
In classical conditioning. The learned ability to distinguish between and conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal and unconditioned stimulus
Habituation
An organism’s decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it
