Classical Conditioning
|
A basic form of learning in which an organism involuntarily learns to associate stimuli
|
|
Biofeedback
|
a procedure for electronically recording, amplifying, and feeding back information about internal bodily changes that would normally be imperceptible
|
|
Cognitive Map
|
a mental image of a three- dimensional space that a person or animal has navigated
|
|
Cognitive Social Theory
|
a theory of learning that emphasizes the role of thought and social learning in behavior
|
|
Conditioned Emotional Response
|
any classically conditioned emotional response to a previously neutral stimulus
|
|
Variable schedule
|
a schedule of reinforcement in which a participant is reinforced for the first response after a period of time has elapsed
|
|
Extinction
|
the gradual suppression of a behavior or a response that occurs when a conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus previously associated with
|
|
Fixed Ratio Schedule
|
a partial schedule of reinforcement in which a participant must make a certain number of responses before being reinforced
|
|
Higher Order Conditioning
|
a procedure in which a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus through association with an established condition stimulus
|
|
Insight
|
a sudden flash of understanding that occurs during problem solving |
|
Learning
|
a relatively permanent change in behavior or behavioral potential as a result of practice or experience
|
|
Negative Punishment |
the process of taking away or removing a stimulus that decreases the likelihood of that response occurring again
|
|
Operant Conditioning
|
learning based on consequences; behavior is strengthened if followed by reinforcement and diminished if followed by punishment
|
|
Positive Punishment
|
the process of adding or presenting a stimulus that decreases the likelihood of that response occurring again
|
|
Premack Principle
|
using a response that has a high probability of occurrence to reinforce a response that has a lower probability of occurrence
|
|
Punishment
|
any action or event that decreases the likelihood of a response will be repeated
|
|
Reinforement
|
any action or event that increases the probability that a response will be repeated
|
|
Shaping
|
a procedure in which reinforcement is delivered for successive approximations of the desired response
|
|
Spontaneous Recovery
|
the reappearance of a previously extinguished response after a period of time without exposure to the conditioned stimulus
|
|
Stimulus Generalization
|
the occurrence of a learned response not only to the original stimulus but also to other similar stimuli
|
