Learning

Question 1

What is Learning?

Answer 1

any permanent change in behavior, thoughts, and/or feelings of an individual that results in experience

Question 2

What are the 3 Compents of learning?

Answer 2

1. having a change (in behavior and/or feelings)
2. it has to be permanent
3. has to be based on experience

Question 3

What are the 3 types of learning?

Answer 3

1. Classical Conditioning- Ivan Pavlov
2. Operant Conditioning (reinforcement and punishment)
3. Social or behavioral

Question 4

What are the 2 Major Phases in Classical Conditioning?

Answer 4

1. Acquisition Phase

2. Extinction Phase

Question 5

What is the Acquisition Phase?

Answer 5

• probability of learning increases

- unconditioned Stimulus and conditioned stimulus must come close together in time

Question 6

What are the 3 ways of Acquisition phase?

Answer 6

1. Forward conditioning
2. Stimulus conditioning
3. backward conditioning

Question 7

What is Forward conditioning?

Answer 7

C.S. (bell) comes just before the U.S. (food)

Question 8

What is Stimulus Conditioning?

Answer 8

C.S. (bell) comes at the same time as the U.S. (food)

Question 9

What is Backwards conditioning?

Answer 9

C.S. (bell) comes after U.S. (food)

Question 10

What is Stimulus Generalization?

Answer 10

one the conditioned response has been acquired to a particular stimulus (rat), then similar stimuli may also recall the same response (anything fury)

Question 11

What is Extinction Phase?

Answer 11

• probability of C.R. decreases over time

- the U.S. (food) and C.S. (bell) are no longer paired together

Question 12

What is a spontaneous Recovery

Answer 12

“Learned Flashbacks”

Question 13

What is an Unconditioned Stimulus?

Answer 13

a stimulus that elicits an unconditioned (automatic) response (U.R.) without prior learning

Question 14

What is an Unconditioned Response?

Answer 14

the response which is elictited by an unconditioned stimulus it includes reflective responses

Question 15

What is an Conditioned Stimulus?

Answer 15

a previously neutral stimulus which comes to elicit a conditioned response

Question 16

What is an Conditioned Response?

Answer 16

a response elicited by a previously neutral stimulus

Question 17

What is the difference between Conditioned v.s. Unconditioned?

Answer 17

• Conditioned is what was learned

- Unconditioned was not learned

Question 18

What is a Stimulus?

Answer 18

Triggered from behavior

Question 19

When does a Conditioned Response occur?

Answer 19

it occurs as a result of pairing the neutral stimulus (CS) with an unconditioned stimulus

Question 20

What is Social/Observational learning?

Answer 20

-imitating or copying another persons behavior
fast and efficient way of learning
- must be observed, heard, seen, or touched
- must be physically capable to do the behavior
