Q

define non assoc learning and what are the two types

organism is repeatedly exposed to one type of stimulus

habitualization and sensitization

20
Q

dishabituation

A

occurs when the previously habituated stimulus is removed and u become aware/ not be accustomed

when u hear the stimulus again, u respond more strongly than b4 because you are reintroduced after not hearing it

21
Q

sensitization

A

opp of habitualization

respond to the noise or stimulus stronger and can even be more annoying

22
Q

taste aversion

A

organism eats specific food and gets nauseous or even sick from eating it and now the SMELL SIGHT OR TASTE makes them not want the food

preventive measures to avoid poisons

23
Q

primary reinforcers vs secondary reinforcers

A

primary reinforcers are the ones that we don’t have to learn about to recognize as reinforcers because they are innately so desirable … like food

secondary reinforcers are the ones that we have to learn like a kid getting a stamp everytime he readns new book and then after a while the group of stamps will turn into a pizza prize

24

shows high performance effect

unpredictable but still leads to high performance
