Deck 3 Flashcards
Variability
Extent to which the scores in a data set tend to vary from each other and the mean
Conditional response (CR)
Automatic response established by training to the CS (which was once neutral)
Conditional stimulus (CS)
Stimulus associated with a US and triggers a CR
Conditioning trials
Making the association between the US and CS
Contiguity
cs and us ocur together - stoping at a stop sign
Contingency
When the presence of the CS reliably predicts the presence of the US
Dishabituation
Increasing response that follows a change in a previously habituated stimulus
Drug tolerance
Decreased effectiveness of drug when repeatedly administered
Excitatory conditioning
Presence of the CS predicts the presence of the US
Extinction/ extinction trials
When the CS is repeatedly presented along to extinguish the CS-US relationship, resulting in the CS no longer eliciting the CR
Habituation
Decrease in response to stimulus after it’s repeatedly presented without consequence
Higher-order conditioning
Once neutral stimulus paired with a CS to produce same CR as the CS
**Making a new CS from a different CS
Homeostasis
Body’s tendency towards maintaining equilibrium
Inhibitory conditioning
Presence of CS predicts the absence of the US
Learning
Mechanisms of behaviour changing based on experience
