28
Q

which is weaker CR or UCR

A

CR

29
Q

the greater the intensity of the UCS and the greater the number of pairings of CS and UCS…

A

the greater the strength of conditioning

30
Q

what is important between CS and UCS

A

time interval

31
Q

CS presenter first and remains until atleast onset of UCS

ideal time for CS to occur is 1/2 second before UCS

A

delayed conditioning

32
Q

CS presented first and ends before onset of UCS

requires that a memory trace of CS be retained until onset of UCS

A

trace conditioning

33
Q

CS and UCS presented together

A

simultaneous conditioning

34
Q

onset of UCS precedes onset of CS

A

backward conditioning

35
Q

produces strong conditioning, trace conditioning produces moderately strong conditioning

A

delayed conditioning

36
Q

produces weak conditioning, while backward is least effective

A

simultaneous conditioning

37
Q

social learning theory/ observational learning

A

albert bandura

38
Q

maintained that new behavior is learned primarily though observation and imitation
called a person whom we use as an example of how to behave a model
if a subject is rewarded for imitating models behavior, it will be strengthened
can promote undesirable as well as desirable behaviors

A

social learning theory / observational learning

A

edward chase tolman

46
Q

learning that occurs without the reinforcement of overt behavior

A

latent learning

47
Q

learning is not immediately revealed in performance but is revealed later when reinforcement is provided for performance
classic study with three groups of rats running maze

A

latent learning

48
Q

a mental map formed when a subject learns the makeup of its environment and is then able to find its way around in it
learn what to expect in a situation “what leads to what”

A

cognitive map

49
Q

felt that rats formed cognitive maps in learning to run maze but didn’t use it until reinforced for doing so

A
