Test 5 Flashcards
Conditioning
The process of learning associations between environmental events and behavioral responses.
Classical conditioning
A learning process that involves repeatedly pairing a neutral stimulus with a response producing stimulus until the neutral stimulus elicits the same response
Neutral stimulus
A stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.
Unconditioned stimulus
The stimulus that produces a response without prior learning. (Loud noise, meat)
Unconditioned response
The response that is produced by the unconditioned stimulus
Conditioned stimulus
Response producing stimulus. Same as neutral stimulus
Conditioned response
The learned reflective response to a conditioned stimulus. Same as unconditional response
Learning
A process that produces a relatively enduring change in behavior as a result of past experience
Stimulus generalization
Learned response happenes to similar stimulus
Stimulus discrimination
When learned response occurs only to a specific stimulus not similar
Higher order, second order conditioning
A conditioned stimulus works as an unconditional stimulus in a new trial before being pared. Salvutate to black box but no food is given
What is extinction and spontaneous recovery?
Gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned behavior
Reappearance of a extinguished response
What was the NS, UCS,UCR,CS, and CR in little Alberts experiment
ns- white rat UCS- loud noise UCR- fear CS- white rat CR- fear
Who discovered classical conditioning?
Ivan Pavlov
Pavlov dog experiment stimulus and responses
Ns- bell UCS- food UCR- salvitate CS- bell CR- salvitate
