Exam 1 week 3

Question 1

unconditioined stimulus

Answer 1

a stimulus that brings out a response without prior learning.

Question 2

Unconditional response

Answer 2

natural reacion to the UCS

Question 3

conditioned stimulus

Answer 3

previously neutral stimulus that is paired with the unconditioned stimulus and acquires the ability to elecit a response similat to but not identical with the UCR

Question 4

conditioned response

Answer 4

the response that is brought out by the conditioned stimulus

Question 5

defensive (aversive) conditioning

Answer 5

UCS is emotionally negative

Question 6

appetitive conditioning

Answer 6

UCS is emotionally possitive

Question 7

temporal conditioning

Answer 7

UCS happens at regual interbals of time

Question 8

semantic conditioning

Answer 8

words or phrases become established as the CS

Question 9

higher-order conditioning

Answer 9

when one CS is paired with a UCR, but it is then used to created another CS(2).

Question 10

Backward conditioning

Answer 10

UCS is presented first, then the CS is presented. results in littler or no conditioing.

Question 11

simultaneous conditioning

Answer 11

the CS and the UCS are presented at the same moment

Question 12

acquisition phase

Answer 12

the period of time wht the CS and the UCS are presented together as a pair

Question 13

trace conditioning

Answer 13

when the CS(lightning) occurs seperated by a ling period of time fomr the UCS(thunder)

Question 14

delayed conditioning

Answer 14

there is no gap between CS and the UCS

Question 15

overshawdoing

Answer 15

when we present two CS’s together and follow them both with a UCS.

Question 16

Blocking

Answer 16

takes place in three stages and shows the effect that conditioning one CS can have on the Conditioning of another CS.

Question 17

latent inhibition

Answer 17

the fact that if a neutral stimulus is presentd repeatedly without a UCS it is dificult to condition that stimuus at a later time.

Question 18

sensory preconditioning

Answer 18

when two neutral stimuli are presented together without a UCS, if one of those t=stimuli is later conditioned to a UCS the other stimulus will also acquire the conditioned response

Question 19

extinction phase

Answer 19

the steady decline is the strength of the conditioned response when the CS is presented alone without the UCs (decline in response strength following practice without a UCR)

Question 20

forgeting

Answer 20

the decline in response strength following a period without practice.

Question 21

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 21

reappearance of the extinguished response following without a breakfrom training

Question 22

counter conditioning

Answer 22

procedure that allows humans and non humans to replace one conditioned response with another.

Question 23

generaliztion gradient

Answer 23

the closer the similarly of the other object to the original CS, the stronger the tendency to respond.

Question 24

generalization decrement

Answer 24

the decrease in response strength as the similarity between the original CS and the other test stimuli decreases.

Question 25

experimental neurosis

Answer 25

emotional distress is caused when an individual reciebes two or more conflicting and contradictory messages.

Question 26

systamatic desensitization

Answer 26

a variation on conter conditioning that uses a gradual introduction to the fear evoking stimulus followed by relaxation.

Question 27

aversive therapy

Answer 27

removing some undesirable behavior by pairing the stimulus that evokes it. (the CS) with some noxious unpleasent (aversive) stimulus (UCS)
