RW model

Question 1

what does lamda-V =

Answer 1

error in prediction

Question 2

problems w RW model (and in real experiments

Answer 2

explanation of inhbition + extinction is wrong ( inhibition is learning that the CS predicts noUS)

Question 3

Can location cues compete w CS

Answer 3

Yes

Question 4

What is an occassion setter

Answer 4

a contextual cue that determine the contingency ( tone is followed by food only if light is on )

Question 5

Generalization decrement

Answer 5

changing the context can lead to a reduction in responding

Question 6

Pearce-hall attention model

Answer 6

animals only pay attention to cues that predict surprising USs and pay attention less as their error gets smaller

ex. repeated presentation of CS alone reduces amount of attention given

Question 7

Mackintosh attention model

Answer 7

animals only pay attention to the most important cues in the world. learn better if your already paying attention

Question 8

3 effects of extinction not explained by RW

Answer 8

1. spontanous recover over time
2. renewal- extinction is context specific
3. Rienstatement- expose to US restores responding
