Chapter 6 Flashcards
Motor or neural reaction to a specific stimulates in the environment
Reflex
behavior that are triggered by Broader range of events
Instinct
when organisms makes connection between stimulate or events that occur together in the environment
Association learning
Organisms learn to associate events – or stimuli- that repeatedly happen together
Classical conditioning
Stimulus that elicits a reflexive response (food)
unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
A natural unknown reaction to stimulus (salvation in response to food)
Unconditioned response (UCR)
Stimulus that does not naturally elicit a response (ringing a bell, does not cost salvation by itself prior to conditioning)
Neutral stimulus (NS)
stimulus that elicits a response after repeatedly being paired with an unconditioned stimulus
conditioning stimulus (CS)
The behavior caused by the condition stimulus
Conditioned response (CR)
Pairing a new stimulus with the condition stimulus
Higher order conditioning
When an organism learns to connect a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus
Acquisition
The decrease in the condition response from the unconditioned stimulus is no longer presented with the condition stimulus
extinction
The return of a previously exchange condition response falling rest period
Spontaneous recovery
Between sounds that predict a threatening and even sounds that do not, so they respond appropriately
Stimulus discrimination
behaviors that are followed by consequences that are satisfying to the organism are more likely to be repeated.
Law of effect
involve Conscious processes
Operant conditioning
Study, operant conditioning, Skinner place animals inside an operant conditioning chamber containing a lever, that when pressed causes you to be dispensed as the reward
Skinner box
something is added to increase the likelihood of a behavior
Positive reinforcement
something is removed to increase the likelihood of a behavior
Negative reinforcement
to increase
Reinforcement
something is added to decrease the likelihood of the behavior
Positive punishment
Something is removed to decrease the likelihood of behavior
Negative punishment
to decrease
Punishment
A tool in operant conditioning in which instead of her rewarding only the target behavior, we reward successive approximations of a target behavior
