Q

Delayed matching to sample

A

There is matching for the training but there is s delay before the sample is shown and the bird is asked to identify the training stimulus. Failure to do so indicates forgetting

23
Q

Over learning

A

Learning continues after mastery increased onveroesrning reduces forgetting increased fluency also decreases forgetting

24
Q

Prior lesrning

A

More meaningful easier to hold onto
There’s proactive which is often studied with paired lesrning (pp)
Personal inclinations affect lesrning ex the study that made it more coherent
Communist vs anticommunist the ones they believed on they remembered better

25
Q

New lesrning

A

New learning often pushes out old learning

26
Q

Cue dependent forgetting

A

Learning occurs with certain stimuli if they sure s sent performance suffers

27
Q

Reminisce

A

Performance sometimes improves with the passage of time

Occurs when the the physiological conditions present during testing resemble those during training

28
Q

State dependent learning

A

Behavior that is learned during s particular physiological state is lost when the state passes

29
Q

Foraging and forgetting

A

Forgetting curve may be far less steep when what is learned is important to survival . Ex balda conducted an experiment in which nutcracker stored seeds and then were able to recover one to six months

30
Q

Eye witness behavior

A

Differential learning history csn affect different reports about observed events such as the or a suggest it occurred

31
Q

Flash cards what to do

A

Do as many as you can in one minute. Shuffle at least once a day

32
Q

Mnemonic

A

Any device for aiding recall typically involve cues that prompt behavior to be recalled
Sometimes combines rhythm and code
Acronym

33
Q

Mnemonic system

A

One popular is the method of loci where you visualize the things you want to remember in a place of familiarity

34
Q

Another mnemonic system peg word system

A

Memories a list of pegs all that have numbers and can rhyme with what you want . Look at the pegs as you recall the lists

35
Q

Context cuss

A

Study with the cues that will be present when necessary to recall

36
Q

A prompt example

A

Ex s memorandum s hint or reminder that only the person remembers snd doesn’t include all the informstion

37
Q

Ex of man who can’t forget

A

He had synesthesia and the senses allowed him to remember the ideas better

38
Q

Gardner and Gardner showed

A

The failure of chimpanzees to learn to speak may be due more to differences in anatomy than in learning ability

39
Q

The theories of Lamarck and Darwin both agree on

A

That organisms evolve as a result of the influence of the environment

40
Q

The brelands showed that heredity snd genetic factors might

A

Facilitate learning in one situation and inhibit it in another

41
Q

Physical characteristics

A

Some lesrning makes behavior impossible. The pigeons playing ping point illustrates they can be taught to learn if physical allowances are given

42
Q

Nonheritability of learned behavior

A

Behavior that is acquired through lesrning dies with the individual
Lamarck was incorrect and it’s possibly good it’s not inherited because we adapt

43
Q

Heredity and learning behavior

A

Humans identical twins separated at birth typically have similar iqs
Genes do play a role

44
Q

Neurological damage and learning

A 
Neurotoxins during pregnancy 
Prenatal exposure to alcohol
Lead one of the worst neurotoxins 
Head injuries can diminish
Disease and malnutrition
45
Q

Critical periods

A

Stages for optimum learning ex a time when likely to form s bond with mom

46
Q

Imprinting

A

Youngster will. Eco me attached to any moving object happening to pass by
Lorenz found that chicks would imprint on humans

47
Q

Rheus monkeys experiment with maternal behavior

A

Young rheus macaques were d by a surrogate mother with s cloth covered objects, they became attached to the cloth monkeys and as adults they lacked social skills because they missed the critical period

48
Q

Breland experiment with personal tendencies

A

Found that raccoons struggled learning some tasks because their innate behavior interfered with learning ex raccoons like to rub crayfish between their hands and wash it called INSTINCTIVE DRIFT

49
Q

Other factors that influence

A

Taste aversion affects

50
Q

Sign tracking

A

Aka auto shaping

Follows it as if driving if

51
Q

Continuum of preparedness

A

An organism comes to lesrning situation genetically prepared to learn unprepared in which learning occurs more slowly or contraprepsred in which case the course of lesrning is slow and irregular
Seligmans theory,
Ex monkeys genetically prepped to fear snakes or the raccoon contraprepAred

52
Q

Durability of lesrning

A

If what has been learned has survival value . Phobias may be a consequence of this
Note learning isn’t progressivism
Some people are more attached to some objects over others
Latent inhibition may affect feArs

53
Q

One main reason behavior is important to understand and lesrning

A

Most large problems are behavior and if we change them learning could cause a huge change

54
Q

The role of enviromentsl cues can be likened To

A

Stimulus control

55
Q

Imagination inflation

A

Merely imagining an event sometimes convince people that an event took place usually an example of retroactive interference

56
Q

Chad anis Simon study Comparing chefs masters and average players showed that when the pieces were arranged in s random order

A

Chess masters and average players forgot about the same amount
