Q

Intensity

A

Physical effort with which a behavior is performed

Deliberate changes in intensity are considered strong indicators of learning

Q

Speed

A

how fast it takes a learner to perform a behavior

the faster the better

Q

Latency

A

how long it takes to start a behavior

shorter latency means better learning

number of behaviors occurs in a set period of time

more than baseline means better

Q

anecdote

A

first/second hand account of personal experience
Advantages: science stays in popular wisdom
Disadvantage: unrealiable, subjective biased, not generalizable

Q

Single Stimulus Learning

A

When exposed to stimulus, you learn

if keeps happening, behavior will continue to change

18
Q

Sensization

A

an increase in responsively of a behavior

19
Q

Inter stimulus interval

A

amt of time between exposure of stimulate with habituation

less time the quicker the habituation

20
Q

Dishabituation

A

Adding a second stimuli will increase attention

21
Q

Conditioned Stimulus

A

Neutral

22
Q

Conditioned Response

A

after Unconditioned Stimulus is removed

23
Q

4 Ways of Classical Conditioning

A

Trace, Delayed, Simultaneous, Backward

24
Q

Trace

A

CS+US

25
Q

Delayed

A

CS presented while US presented

26
Q

Simultaneous

A

at the same time

27
Q

Backward

A

US then CS

28
Q

Contiguity

A

closeness in time and or space of two events or items

29
Q

Contingency

A

extent to which one even is consistently associated with another event

30
Q

Overshadowing

A

when given two potential CS, only one will become effective (one more novel)

31
Q

Latent Inhibition

A

lower contingencies

32
Q

Blocking

A

Simultaneous presentation of 2 CS

33
Q

Sensory Preconditioning

A

CS can elicit the CR with out being directly paired with US

34
Q

Extinction

A

eventually death of CS-UR with out US

Still learning a new association though

35
Q

Spontaneous Recovery

A

this is how we know Classical Conditioning is Learning

36
Q

Stimulus Substitution Theory

A

Conditioned Stimulus just a sub for Unconditioned

Does not explain that CR is not always UR

37
Q

Preparatory and Compensatory Response Theory

A

UR and CR are ways of changing to the environment

38
Q

Rescorla Wagner Model

A

predicts how much is learned with each trial

39
Q

Little Albert

A

Gaining fear through CC

40
Q

Counterconditioning

A

getting rid of phobias

41
Q

Systemic Desensitization

A

1) Create a fear hierarchy
2) Practice and learn relaxation techniques
3) Exposure to fear followed by relaxation
4) Move up hierarchy and relaxation

42
Q

Flooding

A

exposure to the worst and must calm down

43
Q

Paraphilias

A

sexual pleasure from society undimmed things

44
Q

Aversion therapy

A

pair pleasurable with terrible
