Methodological
The study of events that can be observed or measured.
know What is determinism
We live in the universe with a cause and effect
radical behaviorist
Denys that hunger fear are the causes of behavior
unconditional reflexes
automatic connections between a stimuli such as secreting the digestive juices.
classical conditioning
the process by which an organism learns a new association between two stimuli-a neutral stimulus and one that already evokes a reflective response
unconditioned stimuli
is an event that automatically elicits an unconditioned response
unconditioned response
is an action that the unconditional stimulus elicits.
conditioned stimuli
also known as metronome. because a dogs response to it depends on the preceding conditions
conditioned response
whatever response the conditioned stimulus begins to elicit as a result of the conditioning procedure.
process of acquisition
the process that establishes or strengthens a conditioned response.
the proecss of extinction
to exstinguish a classically conditioned response repeatedly present the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus.
spontaneous recovery
temporary return of an extinguished response after a delay.
stimulus generalization
is the extension of a conditioned response from the training stimulus to similiar stimuli.
discriminination
you response differently because the two stimuli predict differnt outcomes
drug tolerance
users of certrain drugs experience progressively weaker effects after taking the drugs repeartedly.
operant conditioning
thorndike studied.
reinforcer
an event that follows a response
disequilibrium principle(premack principle)
each of us has a normal equilibriaum state in which we divide our time among varius activities if you have had a limited opportunity…
punishment
decreases the probability of a response
stimulus gerneralization
the more similar a new stimulus is to the original reinforced stimulus the more likely is the same response
stimulus control
the ablility of a stimulus to encourage some responses and discourage others
discriminivative stimulus
a stimulus that indicates which response is appropriate or inappropriate
