Khan Academy Relationships and Behavior Supplemental 7Cx2 Flashcards
Classical Conditioning Trial
The pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus. (NS, then UCS); Conditioning successfully occurs when the NS can elicit the same response as the unconditioned stimulus. NS goes to CS
What is the most powerful partial reinforcement schedule?
Variable (ratio or interval schedule)
Kinesis
Innate response; random movement in response to a stimulus
Habituation
(Aron/Fire alarm); Decrease response to a stimulus.
Insight learning
(aha! moment) Suddenly coming up with solutions to problems.
Aversive control
Describes behavior motivated by stimuli that are unpleasant
Escape Learning
Performing a behavior to ESCAPE an already unpleasant stimulus or environment. “GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!”
Avoidance Learning
Similar to escape learning, but a signal is given to avoid a negative stimulus all together.
Albert Bandura
“Bandura and his Bobos” Observational learning experiment.
Learning-Performance distinction
Theory that learning and performing a behavior are different. Bandura’s experiment.
Bandura’s Social cognitive theory
“AM I Motivated?” Attention, Memory, Imitation, Motivation.;
Long-term Potentiation
Strengthening of connections between neurons (retention of strength)
Synaptic plasticity
The ability of synapses to change strength.
Sensitization
With every stimulus, the magnitude of response increases. The exact opposite of habituation.
Non-associative learning
(Habituation or sensitization ); There is no reinforcement or punishment. There is simply the measurement of a reaction.
Taste Aversion
An animal eats something, becomes sick, and learns to avoid that food.
Informative Influence
Conformity, because you believe the group is correct, or because you have a lack of experience
Normative Influence
Conforming to avoid social rejection, due to dissension
Public vs. Private Conformity
Public - Only conform in public situation; Private conformity- conform wholly.
Confirmation Bias
Group members seek out information that supports the majority, and rejects information that goes against it.
