learning Flashcards
module 3 chapter 10
what is learning
any relative durable change in behaviour or knowledge due to experience
what 4 things are associated with learning
semantic information
skills
conditioning
phobias
decrease in response time after repeated presentations is what
habituation
(getting used to something then ignoring it)
increase in response time after repeated presentations is what
sensitization
who did the study about dogs
pavlov
how close in time the stimulus are is what
contiguity
how dependant stimulus are on each other is what
contingency
how strong the response is what
salience
what is spontaneous recovery
comes back quicker
what is stimulus generalization
another stimulus (not CS or a UCS) elicits the CR
panic disorder
who was little Albert
experiments with rats, associated it with anything white and fluffy
does not respond to new stimuli in same way as CS
stimulus discrimination
what are phobias
heights, now fear of all heights
what are food aversions
develop after one incident
associate being sick with the food they ate before
what is classical conditioning
2 stimuli
through association, a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus and elicits the same response
what is operant conditioning
through association, a behaviour becomes more or less probable based on its consequences
what is thorndikes law of effect
responses that produce satisfying effect are likely to be repeated
what did skinner do
studied animals, how they would respond to reward and punishment
what are primary reinforcements
biological needs
what are secondary reinforcements
acquired through conditioning
what is the rate of conditioning
satiety
immediacy
contingency
size
what is observational learning
learning through observing a model, rather than direct experience
what did Albert bandura believe
conditioning can happen through observation
what are the 4 basic processes
attention
retention
reproduction
motivation
