Learning Flashcards
contiguity
timing of the pairing, NS/CS must be presented .5-1 sec before the US
acquisition
process of learning the response pairing
extinction
previously conditioned response dies out over time
spontaneous recovery
after a period of time the CR comes back out of nowhere
generalization
CR to like stimuli
(similar sounding bell)
discrimination
CR to ONLY that CS
9only salivating to that specific bell
contingency model
-rescorla and wagner
-classical conditioning involves cognitive processes
conditiond taste aversion
-John Garcia
-innate predispositions can allow classical conditioning to occur in one trial (food poisoning)
John Watson
-father of behaviorism
-little Albert
-conditioned a fear in a baby
-eventually leads to behavioral treatments for fear (counterconditioning)
Law of effect
-thorndike
-behaviors followed by a positive outcome are strengthened, negative outcomes are weakened
(cat in puzzle box)
overjustification effect
reinforcing behaviors that are intrinsically motivating causes you to stop doing them
(give a child $5 to read when they already like reading - they stop reading)
fixed ratio
reward every X number of responses
(every 10 enveloped stuffed = $$)
fixed interval
reward every X amount of time passed
(every 2 weeks get a paycheck)
variable ratio
rewarded after a random number of responses machine
(cashino)
variable interval
rewarded after a random amount of time has passed (fishing)
