Learning

Front 1

Learning

Back 1

The process of acquiring new and lasting info or behaviors

Front 2

Habituation

Back 2

An organisms decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it (getting used to car alarm sound)

Front 3

Mere exposure effect

Back 3

A learned preference for stimuli to which we have been previously exposed

(Best friends voice vs random stranger)

( coke vs pepsi)

Front 4

Behavioral learning

Back 4

Forms of learning, such as classical and operant conditioning which can be described in terms of stimuli and responses

Front 5

Classical Conditioning

Back 5

Form of learning that occurs when a previously neutral stimulus is linked to another neutral stimulus and therefore acquired the power to elicit a consistent and innate reflex. Upon repetition, the individual will come to expect this response

The dog study with the bell and the drool.

Front 6

Parlovs experiment

Back 6

Discovered that a neutral stimulus (the bell) when paired with a natural-reflex producing stimulus(food) will begin to produce a learned response (drool), even when it is presented by itself.

Front 7

Neutral stimulus

Back 7

Any stimulus that produces no conditioned response prior to learning

Front 8

Unconditioned stimulis (US)

Back 8

Stimulus that automatically (without conditioning) provokes a reflexive response. (Like food)

Front 9

Unconditioned Response (UR)

Back 9

A response resulting from an unconditioned stimulis without prior learning (salivating bc of food)

Front 10

Aquisition

Back 10

Learning stage during which a conditioned response (CR) comes to be elicited by the conditioned stimulis (CS).

Dogs mind: bell=food

Front 11

Conditioned stimulus (CS)

Back 11

Formerly neutral stimulis that gains the power to cause a response. (Like the bell)

Front 12

Conditioned response (CR)

Back 12

Response elicited by a previously neutral stimulis that has become associated with the unconditioned stimulis (still drool, called this bc result can be duplicated)

Front 13

Extinction

Back 13

The diminishing of a learned or conditioned response. when an unconditioned stimulis does not follow a conditioned stimulis

(Does not mean complete elimination of response)

Front 14

Spontaneous recovery

Back 14

Sudden reappearance of an extinguished response.

(CR is weaker than original CR)

Front 15

Discrimination

Back 15

The ability to distinguish between two similar signals of stimulus (phone ring and elevator ring)

Front 16

Social learning theory

Back 16

Occurs when we model the behaviors of others

Front 17

Bobo doll

Back 17

When children observed adults having fun being violent to the doll, children left with the doll were also aggresive. Social learning and observational.

Front 18

Conditioning

Back 18

A form of associative learning in which behaviors are triggered by associations with events in the environment.

(Like woman associating nausea with donut bc she barfed after eating a chocolate donut even tho motion sickness was the cause.)
