24
Q

The phase of classical conditioning whereby the stimulus association is learned.

A

Acquisition

25
Q

Three (3) types of memory

A
  • Episondic
  • Semantic
  • Procedural
26
Q

Five (5) theory of forgetting

A
  • Interference Theory
  • Decay Theory
  • Retrieval-Based Theory
  • Storage-Based
    Forgetting
  • Motivated Forgetting
27
Q

Simply refers to reviewing previous learning, the easiest method.

A

Relearning

28
Q

Holds that the cause of forgetting is because of conflict among information learned earlier of later

A

Interference Theory

29
Q

Involves the transfer of response from one stimulus to another stimulus through repeated pairings.

A

Classical Conditioning

30
Q

What are the three (3) kinds of verbal learning?

A
  • Serial-anticipation
    learning
  • Free recall learning
  • Paired-associate
    learning
31
Q

Suggests that lapse of time is the reason for forgetting

A

Decay Theory

32
Q

Denotes the ability to identify learned items that are familiar.

A

Recognition

33
Q

What are the three (3) stages in learning a skill?

A
  • Cognition
  • Fixation
  • Automation
34
Q

Is one where you engage in thinking just for pleasure of it like in the case of daydreaming and wishful thinking.

A

Autistic Thinking

35
Q

What are the seven (7) parameters of classical conditioning?

A
  • Acquisition
  • Reinforcement
  • Extinction
  • Spontaneous Recovery
  • Generalization
  • Discrimination
  • Higher-Order
    Conditioning
36
Q

This are memorable events in your life.

A

Episodic

37
Q

Converting the recalled observation into action

A

Motoric Reproduction

38
Q

This is a form of cue-dependent forgetting. The memory trace is present but one just cannot bring out the information.

A

Retrieval-Based Theory

39
Q

Involves the recollection of past learning/experience with the presence of cues

A

Reintegration

40
Q

Three (3) stages of memory

A
  • Sensory memory
  • Short-term memory
  • Long-term memory
41
Q

Refers to a series of responses wherein each response leads to the next response.

A

Shaping

42
Q

The process of reproducing past learning/experience without any clue.

A

Recall

43
Q

Two (2) kinds of thinking

A
  • Realistic Thinking
  • Autistic Thinking
44
Q

Is one where you direct your thinking towards problem solving and decision-making.

A

Realistic Thinking

45
Q

The response made in one stimulus is not made possible to the others.

A

Discrimination Learning

46
Q

It involves the use of words either as stimuli or response. Some forms of linguistic abilities such as speaking, reading writing and reciting are involved in verbal learning

A

Verbal Learning

47
Q

Four (4) methods to measure memory or remembering

A
  • Recall
  • Recognition
  • Reintegration
  • Relearning
48
Q

Who discovered the classical conditioning?

A

Ivan Pavlov

49
Q

Refers to the proficiency and competency in a certain kind of performance. Some forms of skills are verbal, reading and writing.

A

Skill Learning

50
Q

May take the form of suppression, a purposeful or voluntary process of blocking the information learned. This is also called conscious forgetting

A

Motivated Forgetting

51
Q

These reinforcers are learned, they refer to a stimulus that has gained a reinforcing property by having been paired with a primary reinforcer

A

Secondary Learning

52
Q

A progressive weakening of an instrumental learning due to the withdrawal of reinforcement.

A

Extinction

53
Q

What are the six (6) phenomena of interest in operant conditioning?

A
  • Shaping
  • Extinction
  • Stimulus Generalization
  • Discrimination Learning
  • Partial Reinforcement
  • Secondary
    Reinforcement
54
Q

Sensing and perceiving the important aspects of the behavior to be imitated.

A

Attention

55
Q

Who experimented the operant or instrumental conditioning?

A

B.F Skinner

56
Q

Aids the individual to become flexible with his responses to the environment.

A

Higher-order Conditioning

57
Q

Four (4) basic steps of how our memory usually works

A
  • Perception
  • Encoding/acquisition
  • Storage
  • Retrieval
58
Q

Refers to a decrease in the strength of a conditioned response resulting from repeatedly eliciting the response in the absence of the reinforcement.

A

Extinction
