learning 2- timing Flashcards
1
Q
cicadian timing
A
timing intervals that are the approx length of day
2
Q
What is entrainment
A
If the time-giving stim is periodic (sunset), the clock becomes entrained to the stim
3
Q
without zeitgebers how long is the free running clock
A
-usually longer then 24 hours
4
Q
Time-place learning
A
learning that an event occurs at a particular time in a particular place
5
Q
Interval timing
A
Timing of intervals much shorter than a day
6
Q
What is the occilator model
A
By measuring the phases of several oscillators w/ different periods you can determine lost of different interval lengths
7
Q
Scalar Expectacy theory
A
there is pacemaker generating pulses at short intervals
-when subject is counting they start counting the pulses of the pacemaker
