Unit 4 Flashcards
Learning
Acquire new information
Habituation
Decrease response with repeated exposure
Associative learning
Learn certain events occur together
Stimulus
Event evokes response
Cognitive learning
Observe events and others
Classical conditioning
Pairing 2 stimuli continuously
Behaviorism
Psychology is an objective science
NS
Does not evoke response
UR
Natural response
Unconditioned stimulus
Naturally trigger response
Conditioned response
Learned response
Conditioned stimulus
Association causes trigger of CR
Acquisition
Test if conditioned by only using NS
Higher-order conditioning
CS is paired with new neutral stimulus
Extinction
Diminish response of CS and no CR
Spontaneous recovery
After rest, conditioning comes back
Generalization
Associate similar stimuli with CS
Discrimination
Tell difference between CS and other stimuli
Operant conditioning
Law of effect
Desirable response eventually learned
Operant chamber
Skinner box
Reinforcement
Event to strengthen behavior
Shaping
Guide behavior close to desired behavior
Discriminative stimulus
Response associate with reinforcement
Positive reinforcement
Added stimulus to strengthen
Negative reinforcement
Stimulus remove to strengthen
Primary reinforcer
Satisfy needs
Conditioned reinforcer
Secondary reinforcer
Reinforcement schedule
Pattern with desired response enforced
Continuous reinforcement
Reinforce every time desired behavior occurs
Partial reinforcement
Reinforce behavior part of the time
Fixed ratio schedule
Reinforce after specific number
Variable ratio schedule
Reinforce after Unspecified number of times
Fixed interval schedule
Specific reinforcement times
Variable interval
Unpredictable reinforcement times
Punishment
Event to decrease behavior
Respondent behavior
Automatic response to some stimuli
Operant behavior
Behavior that operates on evironment
Cognitive map
Mental map
Latent learning
Not apparent until needed
Insight
Realize the problems solution
Intrinsic motivation
Desire to perform behavior effectively
Extrinsic motivation
Perform behavior to avoid punishment or gain reward
Problem-focused coping
Change stressor or way we interact with stressor
Emotion focused coping
Avoid or ignore stressor
Learned helplessness
Actions associate with failure
External locus of control
Chance determines fate
Internal locus of control
We control our own fate
Self control
Control impulses
Observational learning
Learn by observing others
Mirror neurons, modeling
Fire when observing others behavior
Pro social behavior
Helpful behavior
