Retrieval Cues

A

Things that help you remember things
Associated

41
Q

The Misinformation Effect

A

Unintentionally reconsolidating misinformation info memory

42
Q

Car accident Studies

A

Asked how fast car went, influenced by verbs

43
Q

The imagination inflation effect

A

Imagining, thinking, reconsolidating into a false memory

44
Q

Egocentricity Bias

A

Tendency to recall events in a way that confirms existing beliefs

45
Q

Proactive Interference

A

Prior learning disrupts recall if new

46
Q

Retroactive Interference

A

New learning disrupts recall of old

47
Q

Instincts/Reflexed

A

Behaviors triggered by environment
unlearned

48
Q

Learning

A

Experience with environmental producing enduring change in associations and observable behavior

49
Q

Classical Conditioning

A

Learn a reaction with a stimulus
Pavlov

50
Q

Respondent Behavior

A

Learned automatic response to stimuli

51
Q

Ivan Pavlov

A

Dog

52
Q

Unconditioned Response

A

Automatic response to a stimulus

53
Q

Unconditioned Stimulus

A

Provokes UR

54
Q

Delayed Conditioning

A

CS Stimulus first, the US

55
Q

Conditioned Response

A

Learned response to non US

56
Q

Conditioned Stimulus

A

Starts neutral
After learning, provoked CR

57
Q

Acquisition Phase

A

Early pairing of US with to be conditioned CR

58
Q

Stimulus Sentiency

A

More noticeable, faster acquisition phase

59
Q

Stimulus Generalization

A

CR in response to a similar stimulus

60
Q

Stimulus Discrimination

A

CR only occurs with a very specific CS and not similar ones.
Requires discrimination trials

61
Q

Extinction

A

CS no longer provokes CR
Only after several extinction trials

62
Q

Spontaneous Recovery

A

After time, exposure to CS evokes an “extinguished” CR
Never fully gone

63
Q

Higher Order Conditioning

A

Deeply ingrained CS can act like a US for future encoding

64
Q

Preparatory Response Theory

A

Associating a learned stimulus with an event in a way that readies organism for event

65
Q

John B Watson

A

Believed in radical behaviorism

66
Q

Radical Behaviorism

A

All learning occurs through interactions with environment
Focus on observable, measurable behaviors

67
Q

Counter Conditioning

A

For phobias
Exposed to fear stimulus with positive response

68
Q

Systematic Desensitization

A

Develop a fear hierarchy
Graded exposure
Relaxation techniques

69
Q

Habituation

A

Reduced intensity of response

70
Q

BF Skinner

A

Radical Behaviorism
Operant Conditioning

71
Q

Operant Conditioning

A

Associate a behavior with an outcome
Behavior operates on the environment to produce rewards/punishments

72
Q

Thorndikes law of effect

A

Satisfaction (reinforcement) = repeated
Unpleasant (punished) = stop

73
Q

Reinforcement

A

Strengthens a behavior

74
Q

Positive

A

Something is added

75
Q

Negative

A

Something is taken away

76
Q

Punishment

A

Weakens a behavior

77
Q

Three Step Approach

A
  1. Target behavior
  2. R/P (strong vs weak?)
  3. P/N (add vs sub?)
78
Q

Continuous

A

Reinforced everytime
Fast to learn and extinguish

79
Q

Intermittent

A

Reward only sometimes
Slower to learn and extinguish

80
Q

Shaping

A

Break complex behaviors into steps then teach steps

81
Q

Margaret Floy Washburn

A

Many things impact learning (including thinking)

82
Q

Biological Perpardness

A

Genetics impact ease of learning associations. Easier to learn associations evolved

83
Q

Latent Learning

A

Learning without incentives shown with incentives

84
Q

Tolmans Maze Study

A

Rats in a maze
Showed latent learning

85
Q

A

Form associations via indirect experience and imitation

86
