100

generally defined as a mental process leading to a relatively permanent change in behavior, knowledge, or mental processes due to practice or experience

what is learning

100

Describes a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired

what is classical conditioning

100

The response to the conditioned stimulus is known as what

what is a conditioned response (CR)

100

This type of schedule reinforces a behavior every time it occurs

what is continuous reinforcement

100

This is like a temporary buffer where information is held briefly and evaluated for further processing

What is sensory memory

200

The process by which a conditioned response ends after the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly not paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

What is extinction

200

this is an organism's reflexive unlearned response to a stimulus

what is unconditioned response (UCR)

200
In this type of reinforcement the behavior is reinforced after a fixed number of reponses

What is fixed ratio

200
This type of schedule reinforces behavior some of the time

what is intermittent reinforcement

200

This is a form of learning that is not demonstrated in an immediate behavioral response and occurs without direct behavioral reinforcement

what is latent learning

300

Refers to a very simple type of learning in which behavior changes as a result of repeated exposure to a stimulus

What is habituation

300

This naturally elicits the organism's reflexive response

What is unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

300

This is a consequence of behavior that increases the likelihood that a response will occur

What is reinforcement

300

This type of schedule reinforces behavior after a fixed amount of time

what is fixed ratio reinforcement

300

This theory proposes that we learn from on another through observations, imitation, and modeling

what is social learning

400

Refers to the same conditioned response occurring to similar, but not identical, stimuli

What is stimulus generalization

400

This does not elicit a reflexive response

What is a neutral stimulus

400

This is a consequence of a behavior that decreases the likelihood that a response will occur

What is punishment

400

This type of schedule reinforces behavior after a varying number of responses

what is variable ratio reinforcement

400

This is the process by which information is acquired, encoded, stored, retrieved, and possibly forgotten

what is memory

500

Explains learning in terms of the rewards, punishments, and negative consequences of behavior in a two way interaction with the environment

What is operant conditioning

500

This describes reinforcing successive approximations of the desired behavior

What is shaping

500

Refers to the frequency or pattern of reinforcement

what is schedules of reinforcement

500

This type of schedule reinforces behavior after a variable period of time

what is variable interval reinforcement

500

Short term memory strategy that organizes and groups memory items into larger units allowing for more information to be stored

What is chunking
