Sensation, habituation, classical conditioning Pt I

Question 1

what are the types of stores?

Answer 1

Sensory: the duration is 1-3 seconds. capacity is high, STM: Duration is 1 min capacity is 7+2 chunks, LTM duration is hours to a lifetime capacity is very high

Question 2

what is extinction

Answer 2

Conditioned response will eventually go away

Question 3

Classical Conditioning

Answer 3

Link responses associate things together

Question 4

Characteristics of Habituation

Answer 4

Spontaneous recovery: overtime, sensitivity to the stimulus begins to increase if it is withheld.
Speed of Habituation; become rapid over multiple sessions
frequency of stimuli: more rapid stimulus lead to more rapid habituation and more rapid SR
Stimulus Intensity; force, strength. Weaker stimulus habituate more quickly than other stimuli
Generalization: Habituation can generalize to similar stimlus
Dishabituation: Unrelated Stimulus can undo habituation

Question 5

Sensitization

Answer 5

Greater/ more response to stimuli

Question 6

What is habituation

Answer 6

Response that decreases over time organism learns that it is not worth to react to the stimulus

Question 7

Rapid perceptual Identification: Priming/ semantic memory
Priming

Answer 7

Explicit: Measures how well we encoded
Implicit:
priming Flashing word very fast measures primimg

Question 8

Implicit measures

Answer 8

Measures of learning and memory that are difficult to report , like familiar skill performance

Question 9

Recall, recognition, relearming

Answer 9

Recall: the retrieval of information from memory without a cue. There is a question, and you must search your memory for the answer.
WHO told me this gossip?

Recognition: happens when you identify information that you have previously learned after encountering it again.
Is this person in my office one of my students?

Relearning: relearning of the information that has already been learned in the past but is not remembered
Relearning things we already know

Question 10

Assessing memory

Answer 10

Behavioral methods, explicit measures are recalled from sensory, STM, LTM, working memoru

Question 11

US Devalution

Answer 11

US is no longer as good or exciting

Question 12

What us conditioned response? Hypothesis 2

Answer 12

CS is a signal that US will occur, and the CR is done in anticipation

Question 13

What us conditioned response? Hypothesis 1

Answer 13

CS creates the experience of the US which triggers an UR or CR

Question 14

Discrimination

Answer 14

conditioning to only a specific set of stimulus
and discriminate between very similar things

Question 15

Fay (1994)

Answer 15

goldfish were conditioned w different “Pitches”
goldfish show a generalization, they show a gradient they were conditioned to react to the same pulses so they’d react to similiar ones

Question 16

Generalization

Answer 16

Respond the same to other things because of previous knowledge
ex: feeling nauseated after eating a food, so you think other food that look alike will taste bad

Question 17

Sensory Order Conditioning; SR Prediction

Answer 17

SR does think theyll be a response
this supports the SR hypothesis

Question 18

Sensory Order Conditioning; SS

Answer 18

SS does not think theyll be a response

Question 19

Sensory Order Conditioning

Answer 19

First classically conditioned then neutral stimulus is associated with conditioned stimulus.
Phase 1;
light-food-movement
then the US is evaluated
Phase 2:
tone-light

Question 20

Sensory Pre-Conditioning; SS Prediction

Answer 20

SS prediction does predict CR to associate neutral stimulus when neutral stimulus is presented is provokes a CR therefore sensory preconditioning supports sensory pre-conditioning.

Question 21

Sensory Pre-Conditioning; SR Prediction

Answer 21

Does not predict CR to associate neutral stimulus

Question 22

Sensory Pre-Conditioning

Answer 22

Associate 2 neutral stimuli before classically conditioning using one.
Phase 1
light-tone

Phase 2: Tone-shock- movement

Question 23

US Devaluation SS Prediction

Answer 23

SS Predicts reduced conditioning
ex: because the light implies theres more food there should be less excitement coming.
The US devaluation supports SS hypothesis

Question 24

US Devaluation: SR Prediction

Answer 24

SR Hypothesis predicts no change.

Question 25

Response Prevention: Stimulus Stimils

Answer 25

predicts classical conditioning because association can still be learned
ex: you feed an animal after doing so multiple times it reduces the excitment

Question 26

Response Prevention & Stimulus Response

Answer 26

predicts no classical conditioning, cant make response so you cant make an association

Question 27

Encoding systems and what are their differences

Answer 27

implicit memory is planning, procedural (school schedules) conditioning, difficult to explain like how to ride a bike wash dishes. ect.
Explicit memory is LTM. Concentrates in facts and events required to recall. 2 categories:
Episodic memory, like experiences and every day events like phone number and first day at a job
Semantic; make effort to recall things previous knowledge is an effort to recall things, previous general knowledge learned in our lives
ex: knowing the grass is green how to wash our hands
