Pg 7-9 Flashcards
initial stage of CC, in which the association between the NS and UCS takes place, only lasts about 1/2 a second
Acquisition
Tendency to respond to similar stimuli in the same way
Generalization
the learned ability to distinguish between the CS and other stimuli
Discrimination
the reappearing of the CR to the CS
Spontaneous Recovery
The fading of the CR to the CS
Extinction
found the effects of radiation on rats (taste aversion)
John Garcia
consequences that follow a beh will increase/decrease likelihood of them happening again
Operant conditioning
Founder of operant conditioning and skinner box
Skinner
procedure in which reinforces guide beh through successful approximates
Shaping
add good - reinforcing beh by rewarding, give allowence
positive reinforcement
take away bad - reinforcing beh by eliminating averse thing
negative reinforcement
add bad - reinforcing beh by adding pain/penalty/etc.
positive punishment
take away good - reinforcing beh by take away phone/keys/etc.
Negative Punishment
stimuli that is satisfying and requires no learning -> food/water/sex
Primary reinforces
stimuli that has acquired its reinforcing power thru experiences -> money/praise/grades
Secondary reinforces
reinforces beh ever time it happens
continuous
random number of responses -> slot machine
VR
after a set number of responses -> buy one, get one free
FR
After a random time -> fishing
VI

FI
Learn thru watching
Bandura
after seeing a parent aggressive, child is more likely aggressive - Tv violence
BOBO dolls
a clear memory of an emotionally significant event : 911, JFK
Flashbulb Memory
changing the info into storable content
encoding
placing info into a storage spot for use later
storage
getting the info out of storage
retrieval
the more time we spend learning info, the longer we remember it
Ebbingham
tendency to recall the first and last items of a list
Serial position effect
tendency to recall the first terms of list
Primary effect
tendency to recall the last terms of list
Recency effect
ways of remembering info by using creative memory techniques
Mnemonic devices
putting many number into parts, change 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 to 123,456,789
(Made 9 things into 3 to remember easier)
Chunking
the immediate, very brief recording of sensory info
Sensory memory
visual info/memory
iconic
auditory info/memory
echoic
short term memory -temporary memory storage
STM
long term memory - an almost endless amount of storage ability
LTM
memory of the procedure - how to ride a bike
Implicit
memory of facts - George Washinton is the first pres
Explicit
inability to make new memories
anterograde amnesia
inability to remember memories prior to accident
retrograde amnesia
inability to remember who told you memory
source amnesia
inability to remember anything before the age of 3
infantile amnesia
retrieval of info already learned - fill in the blanks test
recall
identify info already learned - multiple choice
recognition
old info interferes w/ new info
proactive interference
new info interfere w/ old info
retroactive interference
pushing a memory to the back of mind - cannot be retrieved
Repression
physiological needs (food, water) -> safety needs (security, shelter) -> belongingness needs (friends, family, community) -> esteem needs (achievement, flattery for mastery) -> self actualization

desire to perform beh for reward at end
extrinsic motivation
eating a large amount of food then purging it up
bulimia
not eating food at all
anorexia
overeating and gaining excessive amount of weight
obesity
physiological need creates aroused tension states (drives) that motivate an organism to satisfy that need
Drive Reduction Theory
experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological response to emotionally arousing stimuli (stimuli then response then emotion)
James-Lange Thy
emotionally arousing stimuli simultaneously trigger both a physiological response and emotion (stimuli then response and emotion)
Cannon-Bard Thy
Emotion must be physically aroused and cognitively labeled before emotion (stimuli then response and label then emotion)
Schacter and Singer/ 2 factor thy
our awareness of ourselves and our environment
consciousness
the info about yourself and your enviro. you are currently aware of
conscious level
body processes controlled by your mind that we are not aware of (heartbeat, respiration, and digestion)

subconscious level
info about yourself and enviro. that you are currently not thinking about
Preconscious level
reservoir of mostly unacceptable thoughts, wishes, feelings, and memories in which we are ashamed of, that why we repressed them
unconscious level
alpha waves; onset of sleep; twilight
Stage 1

stage 2

Stage 3
all delta waves - deep sleep, growth
stage 4
rapid eye movement, paradoxical sleep
REM sleep
a scary dream that wakes up the child
nightmare
