LEARNING : CLASSICAL & OPERANT CONDITIONING Flashcards
any relatively permanent change in behavior brought about by experience or practice
learning
any kind of change in the way an organism behaves
learning
when ___ anything, some part of the brain is physically changed to record what they have learned
learning
Russian Physiologist who discovered classical conditioning through his work digestion in dogs
Ivan Pavlov
person who studies the working of the body
Physiologist
learning to make a reflex response to a stimulus other than the original natural stimulus that normally produces the reflex
Classical Conditioning
LEARNING TO ELICIT AN INVOLUNTARY, REFLEX-LIKE, RESPONSE TO A STIMULUS OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL, NATURAL STIMULUS THAT NORMALLY PRODUCES THE RESPONSE
Classical Conditioning
Learning = Association/Cues
Classical Conditioning
naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary response
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
means “unlearned” or “naturally occurring”
Unconditioned
involuntary response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned stimulus
Unconditioned Response (UCR)
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) & Unconditioned Response (UCR)
Concept of Classical Conditioning which is (naturally occuring relationship | cause & effect)
stimulus that becomes able too produce a learned reflex response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
means “learned”
Conditioned
can become a conditioned stimulus when paired with an unconditioned stimulus
Neutral Stimulus (NS)
learned reflex response to a conditioned stimulus
Conditioned Response (CR)
sometimes called a conditioned reflex
Conditioned Response (CR)
explained trauma response and phobia
Classical Conditioning
repeated pairing of the NS and UCS; organism is in the process of acquiring learning
Acquisition
CS must come before UCS
Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning
CS and UCS must come close together in time (several seconds apart)
Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning
NS must be paired with the UCS several times, often times before conditioning take place
Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning
if you want your response to be the same with another stimulus ensure that they always occur together
Acquisition
stimulus that is distinctive or stands out from other competing stimuli
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
tendency to respond to a stimulus that’s only similar to the original CS with the CR
Stimulus Generalization
tendency to stop making a generalized response to a stimulus that’s similar to the original CS, bec the similar stimulus is never paired w/ the UCS
Stimulus Discrimination
