Unit 4 Flashcards
Learning
Acquire new information
Habituation
Decrease response with repeated exposure
Associative learning
Learn certain events occur together
Stimulus

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
