Unit 4: Flashcards
Insight learning
Sudden appearance of solution
Latent learning
Learning w/o rewards
Observational learning
Learning by watching others’ behavior
Unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
Reflexively brings UCR
Unconditioned response (UCR)
Response that takes place in an organism when UCS occurs
Conditioned stimulus (CS)
NS at 1st, when paired w/ UCS elicits CR
Conditioned response (CR)
After Conditioning, response when CS presented
Taste aversion
Never wanting to eat a food again bc of a negative response
Learned helplessness
Feeling of futility bc unable to avoid aversive events
Preparedness
Easily learn survival behavior, Slowly learn non natural tendencies
Instinctive drift
Drifting back to natural (instinctive) behavior
Neutral stimulus
Doesn’t initially elicit response
Pairing
Associating stimulus w/ unrelated object
Acquisition
Gives known response to NS
Extinction
Presenting CS to UCS (repeatedly) leads to NS
Spontaneous recovery
After 💀, w/o training, previous CS elecits CR temporarily
Stimulus generalization
Stimuli similar to CS also elicit CR w/o training
Stimulus discrimination
Able to tell dif btwn stimulus so only CS elicits CR
Higher order conditioning
Associating NS when there is already a CS [2 stimuli vs 1]
