Learning Flashcards
Brings about response without needing to be learned
Unconditioned Stimulus
Response that occurs naturally without training
Unconditioned Response
Stimulus that normally doesn’t evoke a response
Neutral Response
Once neutral stimulus that now brings about a response
Conditioned Stimulus
response that, after conditioning, follows a Conditioned Stimulus
Conditioned Response
Timing of the pairing (Neutral Response and Conditioned Stimulus must be immediately presented before the Unconditioned Stimulus)
Contiguity
Process of learning the response pairing
Acquistion
Previously conditioned response dies out over time
Extinction
After a period of time the conditioned response comes back out of nowhere
Spontaneous Recovery
Conditioned REsponse to like stimuli
Generalization
Conditioned Response to ONLY the Conditioned Stimulus
Discrimination
RESCROLA & WAGNER; states that classical conditioning involves cognitive processes
Contingency Model
JOHN GARCIA; Innate predispositions can allow classical conditioning to occur in one trial
Conditioned Taste Aversion
LITTLE ALBERT AND JOHN WATSON; conditioned fear into a baby only to remove it later
Counterconditioning
States that behaviors followed by positive outcomes are strengthened and negative outcomes weakened
