Learning and Memory Flashcards
Habituation
Becoming used to stimulus
Dishabituation
Second stimulus intervenes and causes DESENSITIZATION to the original stimulus
Observational Learning
Learning a behavior by watching others
Associative Learning
Pairing together stimulus and response
Classical Conditioning
Another stimulus becomes associated with the original stimulus which then causes the same response to both stimulus
Operant Conditioning
Frequency of behavior/response is modified using either reinforcement (increase behavior) or punishment (decrease behavior)
Four Types of Human Memory
Sensory, Short-Term, Working, Long-Term
Two Types of Long-Term Memory and their Breakdowns
Explicit - Decorative - Episodic/Semantic
Implicit - Procedural
Encoding
Process of putting new information to memory
Semantic Networks
Where facts are stored. The interconnected nodes go the network are primed to retrieve memory.
Recognition is stronger than recall.
