Test 3- Learning cp 5 PT4 Flashcards
Conditioning based on previous learning; the conditioned stimulus serves as an unconditioned stimulus for further training.
Higher-order conditioning
A reliable “if-then” relationship between two events such as a CS and a US.
Contingency
A process whereby prior conditioning prevents conditioning to a second stimulus even when the two stimuli are presented simultaneously.
Blocking
Learning that depends on mental processes that are not directly observable.
Cognitive learning
Learning that is not immediately reflected in a behavior change.
Latent learning
A learned mental image of a spatial environment that may be called on to solve problems when stimuli in the environment change.
Cognitive map
Learning that occurs rapidly as a result of understanding all the elements of a problem.
