classical conditioning
food/ meat powder
This large structure is the home for classically conditioned associations
cerebellum
The formula or diagram of the components of the learned association
Sd --> R --> O
This area of the brain stores well-practiced sequences of movements
Basal ganglia
this graph depicts response rates to similar stimuli being used conditioning paradigms
generalization gradient
This is the type of conditioning in which an unpleasant or negative event is the unconditioned stimulus
aversive conditioning
The type of neuron in the cerebellar cortex that inhibits the interpositus
Purkinje cell
a consequence of behavior that leads to increased or continued deployment of the behavior
reinforcer
this part of the brain is important for the prediction of the outcomes of behaviors
orbitofrontal cortex
a training procedure in which a difficult discrimination is learned by starting with a much easier version of the task
errorless discrimination learning
This conditioning paradigm progresses in phases, in the 1st, an association is built, in the second, a compound cue is used, and in the test phase, only the new US is tested for elicitation of the CR.
Blocking
The part of the brain that is responsible for initiating the CR
inferior olive
The behavior modification technique that relies on taking away an unpleasant stimulus
negative reinforcement
This neurochemical is responsible for "wanting" in the brain
dopamine
This procedure reverses phases 1 and 2 of the blocking procedure (the compound cue comes first)
sensory preconditioning
This model of conditioning explains learning as "error-correction" learning
Rescorla-Wagnor
The part of the brainstem responsible for detecting a CS
Pontine nuclei
this schedule of reinforcement is probably the most difficult to extinguish
variable ratio
this neurochemical may be responsible for "liking" in the brain
endogenous opioids
this is a psychological representation of naturally occurring categories
concept (or schema!)
This is the evolutionary explanation for classical conditioning
it allows us to predict when a survival-relevant US is coming
This neurotransmitter is associated with building up the CS- US association in sea hares (and probably humans too)
glutamate
This is the term for the allocation of resources that maximizes satisfaction
Bliss point
this is the underlying mechanism of cocaine in the brain
dopamine reuptake inhibitor
This region of the brain is integral to the learning process
hippocampal region
