Hebb |
Underlying neural structures |
|
Hebb |
Intervening Variables of Mediation |
|
Hebb is similar to which previously studied theorist? |
Hull |
|
Hebb and Hull are similar how? |
They both suggested that human behavior can be understood through hypothetical inferred mediational variables |
|
Hebb's model is primarily concerned with? |
Concerned with explaining thought process and perceptions Concerned with thinking between stimulus and response |
|
What is Hebb's Mediating Process |
Basic Hypothesis - mediation (thinking) consists of activity in a group of neurons -- cell assemblies or phase sequences |
|
Mediating Process : Assumption 1 |
A cell assembly is established as a result f the repeated firing cells |
|
Mediating Process : Assumption 2 |
If two cells assembly are repeatedly active at the same time, an association between two will tend to form |
|
Mediating Process : Assumption 3 |
An assembly that is active at the same time as an efferent pathway will tend to form an association with it. |
|
According to Hebb learning is...? |
Learning is the permanent facilitation of conduction among neural units |

Is Tolman molecular or molar? |
Molar |
|
Who said, "We do not simply respond to stimuli; we act on beliefs express attitudes and strive towards goals." |
Tolman |
|
Tolman's Goal is to what? |
To recognize cognitive aspects of behavior without sacrificing objectivity *studies behavior as it is organized around a purpose |

What is Tolman's Latent Learning? |
The learning remains latent until a goal or demand is experienced which relates to the learning. |
|

What is Piaget's Schema? |
Stereotype of how something is. Creates a quick way to what we are dealing with *Organizing structures for mental activity. More general cognition which are ways of perceiving. Understanding and thinking about the world. |
|
What is Piaget's Accommodation? |
Process by which schemas change *Responding on previous knowledge given |
|
What is Piaget's Assimilation? |
Process by which schemas influence the interpretation of experiences *Responding on previous knowledge combined with new knowledge |
|
What is Piaget's Equilibration? |
The process or tendencies that lead to the balance between assimilation and accommodation. |

|
What is Piaget's Sensory/Motor stage? |
(Birth - 2yrs): Children deal with perceptions of the world and coordination by which they interact with the world. *If you don't sense it; it doesn't exist *Peek-A-Boo |
