Classical conditioning

Question 1

learning

Answer 1

a relatively permanent change in an organism’s behavior due to experience

Question 2

classical conditioning

Answer 2

forming associations between 2 stimuli involving non-voluntary reflex

Question 3

contiguity model

Answer 3

2 stimuli must occur at same time and place

Question 4

UCS

Answer 4

an external sense that automatically innately triggers us to react

smell of food

Question 5

UCR

Answer 5

natural response/unlearned

salivation to food

Question 6

NS

Answer 6

external sense that has no association with organism

sound of bell

Question 7

CS

Answer 7

after acquisition, NS now has association w/ UCS

sound of bell

Question 8

CR

Answer 8

behavior that does not occur naturally, must be learned through pairing of UCS &CS

salivation to sound of bell

Question 9

Aquisition

Answer 9

initial stage in classical conditioning in which as association between a neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus take place

Question 10

Delayed

Answer 10

bell rings, food is presented, bell stops

overlap

Question 11

trace

Answer 11

bell rings, bell stops, food presented

Question 12

simultaneous

Answer 12

bell & food happens at same time

Question 13

backward

Answer 13

present food, rings bell

Question 14

higher-order learning

Answer 14

when new stimulus is added on top of already established CS

Question 15

extinction

Answer 15

when a conditioned response goes away

Question 16

spontaneous recovery

Answer 16

when a thought to be extinct response suddenly returns

Question 17

generalization

Answer 17

two objects are slightly different and treated the same

Question 18

UCS (little Albert)

Answer 18

sound of hammer

Question 19

UCR (little Albert)

Answer 19

a fear response to sound of hammer

Question 20

NS (little Albert)

Answer 20

white rat

Question 21

CS (little Albert)

Answer 21

Sight of rat

Question 22

CR (little Albert)

Answer 22

Fear response to white rat

Question 23

discrimination

Answer 23

two objects are slightly different and treated different

Question 24

one trial conditioning

Answer 24

acquisition only takes one time

Question 25

discrimination (mice)

Answer 25

learn to discriminate because of taste

Question 26

contiguity

Answer 26

taste- illness associated between stimuli could still occur hour apart

Question 27

biological preparedness

Answer 27

organisms are more likely to form associations quicker if they ensure survival

Question 28

Robert Rescorla’s contingency model

Answer 28

for learning to occur the organism must predict occurrence of UCS

Question 29

Habituation

Answer 29

type of associative learning where organisms grow accustomed and exhibit diminished response

Question 30

learned helplessness

Answer 30

a condition in which a person suffers from a sense of powerlessness, arising from a traumatic event or persistent failure to succeed
