associative learning
|
learning that two events occur together, e.g. bell + food
|
|
classical conditioning
|
the association of stimuli with one another: a neutral stimulus is associated with an unconditioned stimulus then to an unconditioned response
|
|
learning
|
relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience
|
|
behaviorism
|
the idea that psych should be ovjective and study behavior without reference to mental processes
|
|
unconditioned response
|
a natural response to stimuli
|
|
unconditioned stimulus
|
something that causes the unconditioned response
|
|
conditional reflex
|
a response dependent on associating the neutral response with the unconditioned response
|
|
conditioned response
|
a response which was previously activated by the unconditioned response is now activated by the neutral stimulus
|
|
conditioned stimulus
|
previously the neutral stimulus
|
|
acquisition
|
initial stage in classical conditioning; association of neutral response with an unconditioned stimulus so that NS->CS and CS causes CR
|
|
optimal time for acquisition
|
0.5 seconds
|
|
extinction
|
the diminishing of CS, occurs when US does not follow CS
|
|
spontaneous recovery
|
reappearance after a pause of an extinguished conditioned response
|
|
generalization
|
the response to stimuli which are similar to the CS
|
|
discrimination
|
a learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other unimportant stimuli
|
|
biological constraints
|
physical limitations that prevent an organism from attaining higher function
|
|
predictability
|
the expectation that one stimuli comes before another
|
|
expectancy
|
awareness of how likely it is that the US will occur
|
|
ecological relevance
|
a factor that determines how permanent a CS will be
|
|
Ivan Pavlov
|
psychologist who invented classical conditioning
|
|
John Watson
|
psychologist who hypothesized that conditioning is everything, all nurture, no nature
|
|
Traumatic conditioning
|
single instance of stimulation that is powerful enough to elicit same response when the same situation is presented
