Chapter 5.1 t/m 5.3 Flashcards
biological preparedness
referring to the tendency of animals to learn certain associations, such as taste and nausea, with only one or few pairings due to the survival value of the learning.
conditioned taste aversion
development of a nausea or aversive response to a particular taste because that taste was followed by a nausea reaction, occurring after only one association.
vicarious conditioning
Simply watching someone else respond to a stimulus
conditioned emotional response (CER)
emotional response that has become classically conditioned to occur to learned stimuli, such as a fear of dogs or the emotional reaction that occurs when seeing an attractive person.
cognitive perspective
modern perspective in psychology that focuses on memory, intelligence, perception, problem solving, and learning.
higher-order conditioning
strong conditioned stimulus+ new neutral stimulus= second conditioned stimulus.
occurs when a strong conditioned stimulus is paired with a new neutral stimulus. The new previously neutral stimulus become a second conditioned stimulus.
spontaneous recovery
the reappearance of a learned response after extinction has occurred.
extinction
The weakening of a conditioned response that results in the behavior decreasing or disappearing
stimulus discrimination
Response to different stimuli in different ways
stimulus generalization
Response to a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus
conditioned response (CR)
in classical conditioning, a learned response to a conditioned stimulus.
conditioned stimulus (CS)
neutral stimulus+ unconditioned stimulus
originally neutral but developed ability to elicit response by association with UCS
neutral stimulus (NS)
in classical conditioning, a stimulus that has no effect on the desired response prior to conditioning.
unconditioned response (UCR)
naturally occuring response to unconditioned stimulus
unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
in classical conditioning, a naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary and unlearned response.
