Learning Flashcards
type of learning: when an organism is repeatedly exposed to one type of stimulus
Non- associative learning
habituation
tuning out a stimulous
type of learning: when an event is connected to another (classical and operant conditioning )
Associative learning
type of conditioning that was known as pavlovian respondant conditioning
classic conditioning (pavlovs dogs)
tendency/ ability of stimulus to elicit a conditioned response to other similar stimuli
generalization
when a conditioned stimulus does not elicit a conditioned response anymore
extinction
when an animal no longer recieves regular reinforcement its orginal behavior will sometimes spike
extinctive burst
type of conditioning that is usually used to stop a particular behavior (pairing a habit with unpleasant stimuli)
Aversive conditioning
type of conditioning that is used to overcome phobias (pairing of fear provoking stimulus with relaxation techniques or drugs
systematic desensitization
type of therapy that forces person to face fear. (helps person to realize fear is irrational)
implosive technique
involves the conditioning of unwanted behavior/response with preferred behavior
Counter conditioning AKA stimulus substitution
which type of conditioning does extinction occur
both classical and operant
what type of conditioning creates phobic responses?
classical conditioning
what famous psychologist is associated with operant conditioning ?
B.F Skinner
type of conditioning that focuses on behavior and consequences( example positive punishment)
Operant conditioning
in Operant conditioning “positive” and “negative” means
presence or absence of stimulus
In Operant conditioning “punishment” means
decrease tendency
in Operant conditioning “reinforcement” means
increase tendency
what is the difference between primary and secondary reinforces?
Secondary - requires the stimulous to be paired with something in order for it to have value (ex. money)
Primary- does not require any paring for it to have value (ex. food)
system of behavior modification that involves tokens that can be exchanged for prizes
token econonmy
Operant conditioning reinforcement schedule : 1:1 behavior/ reward ratio
continuous reinforcement
Operant conditioning reinforcement: terms "RATIO"= "FIXED"= "INTERVAL"= "VARIABL"=
Ratio= After# of responses
Fixed= Consistent
Interval=time(mins,hrs,days)
Variable=random
Variable interval
random time
variable ratio
random # of responses
fixed interval
consistent time (ex ervery 30 min)
fixed ratio
consistent # of responses
ex every ten behaviors
innate behavior that is a purposeful movement
taxis
innate behavior that is not a purposeful movement
Kinesis
what are examples of complex innate behaviors
1) fixed action patters
2) migration
3) circadian rhythms
solving a problem using past skills
insight learning
learned behavior is not expressed until required
latent learning
fixed action patters that are hard wired
innate learning
situations in which behavior is motivated by something unpleasant
Aversive control
list 2 types of aversive control
1) Escape
2) Avoidance
when you eat something because you like it but stop eating it because you become sick
taste aversion
eating a lot of candy makes you sick
in aversion study with rats drinking sweet water what was the association rats made in response to being shocked or getting sick?
rats that got sick stopped drinking sweet water (aversion)
rats that got shocked did not stop drinking sweet water(no aversion)
