Q

Long-term vs Short-term Habituation

A

Long-term: Occurs over longer periods of time, with response decreases between sessions. It’s a more durable process that persists for days or weeks, with little or no spontaneous recovery
Short-term: Occurs within a single session, with stimulus presentations at short intervals of sub-seconds to a few minutes. It’s a temporary process that’s reversible within minutes

Q

Fixed Action Pattern (instincts)

A

-series of movements performed in a stereotyped sequence
-unique to a species
-insensitive to environmental changes
-elicited by a sign stimulus

84
Q

Conditioned Response (CR)

A

response elicited by the US after being pairing

85
Q

Overshadowing

A

when 2 stimuli are presented (compound stimulus) together and paired with a US, the more salient stimulus will get more conditioned
Ex: bright light and metronome sound and paired with food, which leads to salivation
-eventually the compound stimulus becomes the CS that elicits salivation
-when presented separately, the bright light elicits salivation but the metronome sound does not
-this is because the light was more salient

Step 1: 2 NS are paired
Step 2: one of the NS is paired with a US
Step 3: the other NS (that was not paired with the US) also elicits a CR

Q

Systematic Desensitization

A

a type of counter-conditioning where relaxation is paired with stimuli that elicit fear or anxiety
-Wolpe (1958) study
Step 1: teach deep muscle relaxation techniques
Step 2: develop a hierarchy of stimuli that get increasingly more “scary”
Step 3: pair items from the hierarchy with relaxation; present the lowest item in the hierarchy first and go in order
-CANNOT move on from item until client feels relaxed and ready to move on
Ex: snake example and pool example from class

90
Q

Methodological Behaviorism

A

-only observable (overt) behavior and environmental stimuli should be studied

91
Q

Neobehaviorism

A

-Clark Hull
-unobservable physiological variables are used in explaining behavior as intervening variables

-precise definitions: thirst = # of hours of water deprivation
Ex:
environmental event - see water; thirst; observable behavior - take a drink

92
Q

Intervening Variable

A

hypothetical event that is used to explain the effect of a stimulus on behavior

93
Q

Cognitive Behaviorism

A

-Edward Tolman
-expanded use of internal intervening variables to mental events (expectations, hypotheses)
-more useful to analyze behavior as if it were goal-directed
Ex: environmental event - see water; think “I think drinking water will help me stay alert”; observable behavior - take a drink

94
Q

Social Learning Theory

A

-Albert Bandura
-acknowledged that genetics and the environment play a role in behavior
-stressed that mental events are primary cause of behavior
-argued differences in learning and performance required cognitive explanations of behavior
-people discover and use “self-efficacy” rules, which are main cause of behavior
-promotes use of introspection

95
Q

Radical Behaviorism

A

-BF Skinner
-behavior is caused by genetics and the environment ONLY
-behavior is not caused by events inside a person (like thoughts or feelings)
-mental events are considered behavior - they are NOT the CAUSE of behavior
-mental events are covert behaviors

96
Q

Innate Behavior

A

-appears at birth and in all individuals of a species
-involve elicited behaviors, which are drawn out by the occurrence of a stimulus and are automatic/involuntary

97
Q

Reflex

A

-simple, stereotyped pattern of movement that is reliably produced by a particular stimulus
-response rarely happens without the eliciting stimulus
-reflexes must have an eliciting stimulus and a simple body response
Ex: patellar reflex, startle reflex, blinking, grasping, pupil constriction

98
Q

Habituation

A

-a decline in a reflexive response with repeated presentations of a stimulus
-often seen with a startle or orienting response
-adaptive, could be maladaptive (think of fire alarms - get used to it, but could be real danger)
-as the number of stimulus presentations increases, the probability of a response decreases

99
Q

Characteristics of Habituation

A

-spontaneous recovery
-stimulus intensity
-savings on relearning

100
Q

Spontaneous Recovery

A

phenomenon where if a person is not exposed to a stimulus for some time, then exposed again, their response returns
-reappearance of a conditioned response to a CS following a rest period after extinction
-spontaneous recovery does not last forever
-Each time the response recovers, it is usually weaker and extinguishes more quickly than before

101
Q

Stimulus Intensity

A

habituation is more likely with weaker stimuli than with more intense stimuli

102
Q

Savings on Relearning

A

habituate to the first set of stimuli than to subsequent sets
-habituate to 2nd stimulus more quickly due to the 1st stimuli reponse
-the amount of time or number of trials saved when relearning information that was previously learned

103
Q

Dishabituation

A

-once habituation occurs, the presentation of an irrelevant stimulus will make you notice the stimulus again
-presentation of a novel stimulus results in the reappearance of a habituated response

104
Q

Disinhibition

A

recovery of a response that has become partially inhibited due to extinction

105
Q

Counter-Conditioning

A

pairing a CS that elicits one type of response with a US that elicits an incompatible response
EX: Mary Cover Jones experiment (1924) - Peter was afraid of rabbits. Mary pairs him seeing a rabbit with getting a cookie. Eventually, he stops fearing rabbits because he paired it with an appetitive stimulus (cookie) - this is reciprocal inhibition

106
Q

Taste Aversion

A

-first done by Garcia
-form of classical conditioning in which a food item that has been paired with gastrointestinal illness becomes a conditioned aversive stimulus
-causes association of the food with the illness, and makes it distasteful
-shorter delay = stronger aversion
-delays can be up to 24 hours (takes 24 hours to get sick) - long-delay learning
-aversion is specific to the CS that proceeds the US causing illness

107
Q

Aversion Therapy

A

-treatment procedure that reduces the attractiveness of a desired event by associating it with an aversive stimulus
Ex: taste of alcohol has sometimes been paired with painful electric shocks or with nausea

108
Q

Aversive Conditioning

A

-when the US is unpleasant
-US is an aversive event (one that an organism avoids); that is, in mentalistic terms, it is something we usually regard as unpleasant
-Ex: electric shock, a painful bite, unpleasant odor.
-often occurs rapidly, maybe only one or two conditioning trials, especially when the aversive stimulus is quite strong

109
Q

Appetitive Conditioning

A

-US is an appetitive event (one that an organism approaches or seeks out); in mentalistic terms, it is something usually regarded as pleasant
-Ex: food, water, addictive drugs

110
Q

Response definition

A

a particular instance of behavior; emitted by a LIVING organism

111
Q

Environment definition

A

the natural world; the surroundings in which a person/animal lives
-includes the stuff “inside the body and skin”

112
Q

Traditional View of cause of behavior

A

-some behavior is caused by environmental stimuli, like sights, sounds, etc
-some behavior is innate (genetically based)
-most behavior is caused by cognitive/mental events and feelings
-self-determination

113
Q

Mental Domain includes:

A

thoughts, feelings, emotions, language, knowledge, consciousness, self-concept, etc

114
Q

Introspection definition

A

-a way of studying mental events by asking people to describe their thoughts, emotions, and sensory experiences
Ex: verbal reports of sensory experiences when presented with a stimulus, self-reports of surveys

115
Q

Parsimony (natural science approach to behavior)

A

simpler explanations are always preferred over more complicated ones
-don’t explain behavior by using mental phenomena when simpler principles can do the job

116
Q

Why care about Pavlovian learning/classical conditioning

A

-development of emotions: can teach emotional responses
-development of preferences: can influence preferences
-development of phobias, generalized anxiety

117
Q

Acquisition

A

the development of a CR through repeated pairings of an NS with a US or CS

118
Q

Asymptote

A

maximum strength of the CR
-where the behavior begins to level off on a graph

119
Q

Slope on movement ratio graphs

A

-represents how quickly the CR is learned
-steeper slope = faster learning

120
Q

Elicit definition

A

-means “to draw out or bring forth”
-elicited behavior is a behavior that is drawn out by a preceding stimulus
-aka respondent behavior or respondent
Ex: sneeze produced by a particle of dust, startle reaction to the sound of gunshot

121
Q

Determinism

A

-the thought that each behavior has a cause
-Bandura had strong view of this concept
-Bandura believed in reciprocal determinism, which is when how we think and behave can influence our environment as much as the environment influences how we think and behave

122
Q

difference between cognitive behaviorism and neobehaviorism

A

-both look to environment for part of explanation to behavior

123
Q

Latent Inhibition

A

related to effects of prior experience on CS
-prior exposure to NS, but its not paired with anything
-when NS is then paired to a US, latent inhibition means that a conditioned response (CR) takes longer to appear and be learned

124
Q

Eliciting and Sign Stimulus

A

a stimulus that, when presented under the proper conditions, initiates a fixed action pattern
Ex: a red belly on a male stickleback fish elicits aggressive behavior from other male sticklebacks but is attractive to gravid female sticklebacks

125
Q

VR using classical conditioning to reduce anxiety

A

soldier using VR to reduce anxiety from war

126
Q

compensatory response model

A

CR to a drug CS is always the opposite effect of the actual drug UR
-ex: drug is US that increase heart rate, stimuli that are paired with that drug (like a water bottle), there is an opposite CR - this CR will decrease heart rate
