Q

what is during conditioning (acquisition)

A

CS (originally neutral) is associated with UCS which leads to UCR

Q

what is after conditioning

A

CR is created which was originally neutral. CS leads to CR. The CR is a response that’s very similar to the UCR

Q

What is the conditioned stimulus (CS)

A

stimulus is neutral at start of conditioning. It wouldn’t normally produce the UCR but does so eventually because of its association with the UCS

Q

What is the conditioned response (CR)

Q

What is extinction in classical conditioning

A

when UCS is no longer presented along with the CS, eventually CS becomes weaker and weaker, CR stops

Q

What is spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning

A

extinction has occurred. a rest period takes place. when CS is reintroduced the CR again appears. CR is weaker than when first conditioned

Q

what is operant conditioning

Q

what is the theory of operant conditioning

A

behavior operates on the environment and our behavior is instrumental in producing the consequences- rewards/punishments

20
Q

What are the ABC’s of operant conditioning

A

antecedent, behavior, consequence

21
Q

What is the antecedent

A

the conditions that increase the likelihood of a response occurring

22
Q

what is the behaviour

A

the response executed by the learner

23
Q

what is the consequence

A

the reinforcement or punishment delivered

24
Q

What is reinforcement

A

any stimulus that subsequently strengthens or increases the likelihood of the response that is follows

25
Q

what is positive reinforcement

A

strengthens response by adding something good

26
Q

what is negative reinforcement

A

strengthens response by taking away something bad

27
Q

what is positive punishment

A

the delivery of an unpleasant stimulus following an undesirable response

28
Q

what is negative punishment

A

the removal of a pleasant stimulus following an undesirable response.

29
Q

what factors affect reinforcement

A

order of presentation, timing, appropriateness of reinforcer

30
Q

what is observational learning often called

A

modelling

31
Q

what does observational learning occur

A

when someone uses observation of another persons actions and their consequences to guide their future action

32
Q

what is vicarious reinforcement

A

viewing a model as being reinforced can strengthen behavior in an observer

33
Q

what is vicarious punishment

A

viewing a model as being punished can weaken a behavior in an observer

34
Q

name the elements of observational learning

A

1- attention
2- retention
3- reproduction
4- motivation and reinforcement

35
Q

is there a single aboriginal or torres strait islander approach to learning

A

no

36
Q

what is country to aboriginal or torres strait islander peoples

A

a word that holds many different meanings. but some concepts that are shared: country is alive, timeless, us.

37
Q

what is reciprocity

A

about mutual respect and exchange and keeping balance

38
Q

what is first nations peoples relationships with country grounded in

A

reciprocity

39
Q

what do kinship structures determine

A

who can hold particular knowledges and peoples responsibility to care for country

40
Q

what is dadirri

A

deep listening. the practice of still awareness

41
Q

what is yarning

A

sharing knowledge between people.

42
Q

explain attention in observational learning

A

notice the behaviour of the model

43
Q

explain retention in observational learning

A

form a mental representation of the behaviour

44
Q

explain reproduction in observational learning

A

having the ability to reproduce the modelled response, this may be restricted by physical limitations or belief in the ability to imitate the behaviour

45
Q

explain motivation and reinforcement in observational learning

A

want to initiate the behaviour, usually because there is some reward for doing so
