This process is changing one form of energy into another
What is transduction
100
Responding similarly to stimuli that resemble the CS is this term.
What is generalization
100
This type of memory is fleeting, only lasting for a few seconds after sensing the stimuli
What is sensory memory
100
These are retinal receptors that detect black and white
What are rods
100
This is the type of stimulus that evokes no response before conditioning
What is the neutral stimulus
200
This principle states that, in order to be perceived as different, two stimuli must differ by a constant minimum percentage
What is Weber's Law
200
This type of reinforcer gains its power through its link with the primary reinforcer
What is a secondary reinforcer
200
This is a newer understanding of short-term memory that stressed conscious, active processing of incoming stimulation, as well as information retrieved from long-term memory
What is working memory
200
This is the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain
What is the optic nerve
200
This is the weakening of a response when it is no longer reinforced
What is extinction
300
How many light receptors are there in the retina?
What is three
300
This is the process of forming behavior via operant conditioning by reinforcing steps of behavior until reaching the target behavior
What is shaping
300
This type of memory is effortful, and memory of facts and personal events that you can consciously retrieve
What is explicit memory
300
This is the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye. It's the part of the retina that doesn't have any receptor cells.
What is the blind spot
300
This is reinforcing a particular desired response each time it occurs
What is continuous reinforcement
400
This process happens beginning with sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information
What is bottom-up processing
400
This is a type of learning accomplished by watching and imitating others' behaviors
What is observational learning
400
This type of memory is demonstrated by time saved when learning material for a second time
What is relearning
400
This is a coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear.
What is the cochlea
400
This is an event that is innately reinforcing, often by satisfying a biological need
What is a primary reinforcer
500
This type of psychologist emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes.
What are Gestalt Psychologists
500
In operant conditioning, this is a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed
What is a fixed-interval reinforcement schedule
500
This is retaining learned skills or classically conditioned associations without conscious awareness
What is nondeclarative memory (aka implicit)
500
In vision, this is the ability to adjust to a displaced or inverted visual field
What is perceptual adaptation
500
This type of learning is not apparent until there is an inventive or reason to demonstrate it
