Learning Flashcards
classical conditioning (respondent, pavlonian) E. B. twitmyer
ivan pavlov
classical conditioning of an aversion to a taste that has been associated w a noxious stimulus
kids who get chemo
conditioned taste adversion
replace one CR to a stimulus w another (usually incompatible) response
alcohol- antabuse
fear, anxiety, phobias
counter conditioning
form of CC that involves learning to relax in presence of feared object
counter conditioning
desensitization
process of learning to avoid an unpleasant stimulus
eurisis
avoidance conditioning
this treats the symptoms, not the underlying problems
avoidance conditioning
celebrity’s in ads
pavlovs legacy (association)
learning by making mistakes, until you find the correct solution
trial and error
used cats for research
puzzle box: 5 cats involved, 3 trials (time and errors)
got faster with less mistakes each time
edward L thorndike
behavior followed by satisfying is strengthened
annoying led to weakened
law of effect
BF skinner
rats and pigeons
instrumental
skinnerian
operant conditioning
relationship between behaviors and concequences
same as law of effect
behavioral contingencies
strengthening of SR relationship by following the response with reinforcement
operant
what happens after subject responds (respect or no)
key
stimulus that increases the probability of the response it follows reoccurringly
reinforcer
same as puzzle box but attempt to get food
skinner box
gradually teach a behavior in step by step process
reinforcement of successive approximations
shaping
positively reinforce each behavior in a sequence
chaining
tendency to make the same response to similar stimuli
other bell sounds made the dogs salivate
generalization
tendency to respond to similar stimuli in different ways
discrimination
the dying out of an established conditioned response as a result of presenting the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus
remember the dinosaurs
the stronger the CR, the longer extinction takes
some CRs are difficult to extinguish
fear
extinction
reappearance after a period of time of a conditioned response that has been subjected to extinction
spontaneous recovery
a form of learning in which a neutral stimulus (bell) comes to elicit a response (salivation) after being associated with a stimulus (meat) that already elicits that response (salivation)
classical conditioning
UCS
stimulus that automatically elicits a particular unconditioned response (meat)
unconditioned stimulus
UCR
unlearned, automatic response to a particular conditioned stimulus (salivation)
unconditioned response
CS
a neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a particular conditioned response after being paired with a particular unconditioned stimulus that already elicits that response (bell)
conditioned stimulus
CR
the new, learned response given to a particular conditioned stimulus (salivation)
conditioned response
