behavioursim
oberservable behaviorus
learning
cognitive
brain is the information proccessor
neural activity
humanistic
achieve greater filfulment
strive for greatest potential
evolutionary
heritable adaptive responses to challenge faced by our ancestors
reflex
automative behaviour in response to stimulus
unconditioned stimuli and unconditioned resoponse
classical conditioning
netural stimulus paired with unconditioned stimulus to produce a reflex
neutral should produce a conditioned response
extinction
conditioned stimulus utilised without unconditioned stimulus
will be rapidly lost
spontainous recovery
connection traces remain so if learned again will be a quicker process
stimulus generalistation
wide range of stimuli illlicit the same response
stimulus discrimination
only some stimulus will ilicit same response
blocking
new cs fails if next to other cs that is paired
latent intention
cs stimuli presented prior without the pairing will be difficult to pair with new tings
operant condition
repeat action with good consequences will occur whereas action with bad consequences will not occur
