Unit 2 Flashcards
Respondent Behavior
Reflex behavior that is elicited by either an unconditioned or conditioned stimulus
Antecedent control
S-R Stimulus-Response-Antecdent
autonomic nervous system
Abate
Decrease the behavior in the moment
A-S
B-R
C-S
A or S=Antecedent or Stimulus that immediately proceeds a response
B or R=A Behavior or REsponse that occurs
C or S= Consequence or Stimulus that immediately follows the response
Ontogenic provenance
Learning during a life time (history of development
ex. things that are learned that we require as a result of our experience in the environment
Phylogency Provenance
Things that are not learned -history of natural change/evolution in our genes-unlearned -Survival skills born with -unconditioned reflexes
Respondent Bx
Under antecedent control consequences have no role in respondent Bx
-controlled by antecedent, but we don’t use the term antecedent when refering to respondent bx
S-R usually through pairing
-Reflexes have no consequences
Reflex
involve smooth muscles and glands
Respondent
can be learned or involuntary controlled by Autonomic nervous system
ex. eye blinking, patellar knee, reflex coughing and gagging
Conditioned
something that is been learned has been conditioned
Learned
unconditioned
unlearned
ex. water, food, air, oxygen
Respondent Conditioning
is the process of pairing S-S
Operant Behavior
It’s learned an controlled by central nervous system
- 99% of our daily behavior is operant
- if its not a reflex it’s operant
Oprent Conditioning
S-R-S Evokes Responses
Stimuls-Response-Stimuls evokes Response
Learning through the effect of the consequence
Habituation
the gradual lessoning of stimulus ability to elicit a response due to repeated exposure to that stimulus
Sensitization
When one stimulus elicits a reflex response an makes you more sensitive so that the 2nd stimulus with would not typically elicit a response elicits a response as well
ex. Thunder then dog brushing up against
Pairing
S-S
Is joint presentation of 2 stimuli at the same time.
Pairing can effect both respondent and operant conditioning
-can create value for a stimulus that had not prior value to me pairing
ex. bell, cocker telling my dog “no” and waving my finger at her=pairing
Contingency
If and only if
S-S=pairing
R-S=consequential
S-R-S=A-B-C
Reflex relation
Is a relationship between a Stimulus and response in respondent
behavior
-it includes both the stimulus and the response
Neutral stimulus
A stimulus which has no effect on behavior
neutral sound of a bell before conditioning
Conditioned Reflex
Is a learned reflex, so it can not occur without learning. It is a CS-CR relationship
Unconditioned Reflex
Same for all people, occurs without learning
ex. knee hit with hammer knee will jerk
(Stimulus and response) US-UR
Function altering
Permeant effects or relations
- How a function of stimuli can be changed as a result of learning
- teaching, changing what the stimulus functions as is different from before because
- pairing occurs
Behavioral altering relations
Effect or relation of a description of how any stimulus can momentarily alter your behavior
Behavior altering
1 stimulus and 1 response
