Q

dog example

A
  1. Before conditioning:
    -NS: Bell (no saivation to irrelevant response.

  2. During condtitioning:
    - NS: bell

Q

after conditioning

A

CS: the stimulus that is “neutral” at the start of the conditioning process but eventually elicits a very similar response to that caused by the UCS

CR: the learned response that is produced by the CS

Q

Processes of observational learning

A
  1. Attention:to observe, we must pay attention
  2. Retention: storing mental representation of the behaviour that is observed
  3. reproduction have the physical and mental ability to replicate behaviour
  4. Motivation: in order to produce the model’s behaviour, we need the motivation and desire
  5. reinforcement: we are likely to copy the behaviour

25
Q

acronym

A

mnemonic device which the first letters of items form a pronounceable word to aid memory

26
Q

acrostic

A

mnemonic device in which the first letters of items create a phrase, rhyme, or poem to aid memory

(not pronouncable)

27
Q

method of loci

A

mnemonic device that converts items into mental images and associates them with a specific locations to aid memory

28
Q

5 steps of method of loci

A
  1. visualise and imagine familiar route or place
  2. select several memorable places on the route or chosen place
  3. create visual imagry for each item that needs to be remembered
  4. link each item to one of the identified memorable landmarks

5.imagine they r waking through the house or familiar route and retrieve item by observing the items at each landmark

29
Q

Linking methods of loci to the Atkinson-Shiffrin multistore model

A

The deeper we process info the more likely it will be transferred to long-term memory. by using mnemonics, this increases the likelihood by information being encoded into LTM.

compared to rote learning, for example, repeating a definition to yourself over and over again. By doing this, we are more likely to just retain information in our short-term memory

30
Q

episodic mmory

A

Explicit memory of personally-experienced events associated with a particular time and place

31
Q

semantic memory

A

Explicit memory of facts and knowledge about the world

32
Q

Classically-conditioned memory

A

Implicit memory of a conditioned response to a conditioned stimulus acquired through classical conditioning

33
Q

procedural memory

A

Implicit memory of skills that have been learned previously

34
Q

possible imagined futures

A

hypothetical experiences and situations that an individual has the ability to create in their mind

35
Q

possible imagined futures: Semantic memory

A

construction of possible imagined futures as individuals must be able to envision possible scenarios that are consistent and fit in with what they already
know about the world.

36
Q

possible imagined futures: Episodic memory

A

allowing individuals to construct a possible imagined future that is subjective and includes more richly detailed elements, such as
the people involved or emotional reactions.

37
Q

Aphantasia

A

the phenomenon in which individuals lack the capacity to generate mental imagery

38
Q

Dementia

A

the loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life.

39
Q

Alzheimer’s disease

A

is a neurodegenerative disease. its the progressive loss of neurons beginning at the hippocampus before spreading to other areas.

40
Q

atkinson shiffrin model

A

1.sensory memory
2.short term memory
3. long term memory

41
Q

atkinson shiffrin model

Processes of memory

A
  1. Encoding
    Conversion of sensory information into a usable form so that it can be neurologically represented and stored in memory
  2. Storage
    Retention of the encoded information over time
  3. Retrieval
    Recovery of stored information for use when needed
42
Q

atkinson shiffrin model

sensory memory and function

A

entry point of memory in which incoming sensory stimuli are retained in their original sensory form for a very brief time

Receives sensory info from our env

43
Q

Sensory memory compromises of two sensory registers (or basically two separate sub-systems).

A

Iconic memory - where visual information is stored in sensory memory.

Duration: 0.2 – 0.4 of a second

Echoic memory – where auditory information is stored in sensory memory.
Think echo.
Duration: 3 – 4 seconds.

44
Q

attkinson model

Short-term memory and function

A

memory system with limited storage capacity in which information is stored for short time”

  1. Receives information from sensory memory and transfers information to and from long-term memory.
  2. Maintains information in conscious awareness for immediate use.
45
Q

attikson model

Long-term memory (LTM) and function

A

a memory store that holds a potentially unlimited amount of information for a very long time, possibly permanently

Function: Stores information for re-access and use at a later time.

46
Q

Operant conditioning

A

learning process whereby the consequences of behaviour
determine the likelihood that it will be
performed again the future”

47
Q

A.B.C model of operant conditioning

A

Antecedent (what happened before)

Behavour (what happens)

Consequence (what happens after)

48
Q

antecedent

A

the stimulus or events that precedes and often elicits a
particular behaviour”

49
Q

behaviour

A

the voluntary
action that occurs in the presence of
the antecedent stimulus

50
Q

consequence

A

the environmental event that occurs
immediately after the behaviour and has an
effect on the occurrence of the behaviour

51
Q

Reinforcement

A

process in which
a stimulus increases the
likelihood of a response that it follows”

52
Q

Positive reinforcement

A

The addition of a desirable stimulus which in turn increases the likelihood of a behaviour reoccurring”

53
Q

negative reinforcement

A

The removal of an undesirable stimulus, which in turn increases
the likelihood of a behaviour reoccurring

54
Q

Punishment

A

process of delivering an unpleasant consequence following a response,

55
Q

Positive punishment

A

The addition of an undesirable
stimulus, which in turn decreases
the likelihood of a behaviour
reoccurring

56
Q

negative punishment

A

removal of a desirable stimulus, which in
turn decreases the likelihood of a behaviour
reoccurring

57
Q

operant and classical conditioning sim

A

-both are behaviourist approaches to learning
-both have 3 phase processes
- require several trials in order for learning to occur

58
Q

operant and classical consitioning diff

A
  • operant involves learning a voluntary behaviour wheras classical invoves involuntary
  • learners r active in operant and classical is passive
    -operant requires consequences
59
Q

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing

A

perceived all things as relating to each other, all things animate and inanimate, treating everything as equal.

60
Q

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing - songlines

A

a navigational route comprising a sequence of locations used by indigenous peoples which may also serve as mnemonic; also called dreaming track
