habituation
|
when an organism decreasingly responds to a repeated stimulus
e.g. water slug stops its defense against squirts because water naturally squirts him |
|
associative learning
|
learning that some events occur together
- events = two stimuli (class. cond.) - events = response and consequences (oper. cond.) |
|
classical conditioning
|
learning by association, in which an organism links two or more stimuli to anticipate events
e.g. bell + food = salivation |
|
behaviorism
|
perspective that psychology
1) is an objective science 2) studies behavior and NOT mental processes today, (1) is agreed on, but not (2). |
|
unconditioned response (UR)
|
unlearned, inherent, automatic response to a stimulus (US)
e.g. salivation, natural response to food for digestion |
|
unconditioned stimulus (US)
|
any stimulus that naturally triggers a response (UR)
e.g. food, triggers salivation |
|
conditioned response (CR)
|
learned response to previously neutral (but now associated and conditioned) stimulus
note: a response is only a CR if the neutral stimulus alone can produce the desired effect (bell = saliv.) |
|
conditioned stimulus (CS)
|
originally neutral stimulus that becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus and can trigger a response (CR) by itself
