Chapter 4 Flashcards
What is leanring?
A relatively permanent change in behaviour or acquisition of knowledge/skills as a result of experience
What classical conditioning
form of learning that involves repeated association of 2 stimuli creating a response when it shouldn’t naturally occur with one stimulus.
What type of learner is involved in the 3 conditioning types?
passive, active, active
Is the stimulus before or after in the 2 conditioning types?
before, after
What are the 3 stages of classical conditioning?
before, during and after
What does the before stage consist of?
NS has no association and doesn’t produce UCR
What does the during stage consist of?
NS is repeated paired with UCS to create UCR
What does the after stage consist of?
NS becomes CS and is able to produce UCR (now CR) on its own (involuntarily)
What is an unconditioned stimulus (UCR)?
stimulus that produces unconscious response (UCR)
What is a neutral stimulus (NS)?
stimulus that produces no significant response
What is a conditioned response (CR)?
stimulus that produces a conditioned response (CR)
What is a unconditioned response (UCR)?
naturally occurring behaviour in response the unconditioned stimulus (UCR)
What is a conditioned stimulus (CS)?
stimulus that produces conditioned response (CR) that occurs involuntary
What is aquisition?
development of a CR through repeated association between UCS and NS
What is extinction?
disappearance of conditioned response
