Classical Conditioning
This stimulus naturally elicits a response.
Unconditioned Stimulus
This "Law" states: Responses followed by satisfying consequences are more likely to be repeated, while responses followed by unpleasant consequences are less likely to be repeated.
Thorndike's Law of Effect
The observer must be able to remember the behavior that they have observed to then reproduce that behavior immediately or after some time has passed.
Retention
Capacity of STM?
7 (plus/minus 2)
Duration of sensory memory?
.25-.50 sec
Automatic response to UCS.
Unconditioned Response (UCR)
A parent takes a favorite toy away from a child who is using it aggressively or selfishly. What is this type of consequence?
Negative Punishment
The learner must focus on the model in order to learn a behavior. Can be influenced by certain factors, including the model’s attractiveness, authority, or level of entertainment
Attention
Capacity of Long Term Memory
Potentially unlimited
Strategy for encoding more information but taking lots of info and putting it into larger pieces of info
chunking
Initially neutral stimulus that becomes associated with Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
A parent nags a child to clean their room. If the child cleans the room, the nagging stops. What type of consequence is this?
Negative Reinforcement
Learners must want to replicate the behavior that they have observed. They must understand the potential outcome if they repeat the behavior – was the model rewarded or punished for their behavior?
Motivation
What must happen for information to be stored in Short Term Memory from Sensory?
Attention
This term describes when new information replaces old info in STM
Displacement
Learned response to CS
Conditioned Response (CR)
B.F. Skinner placed rats in a box which contained a lever and a food dispenser. When the rat accidentally pressed the lever, it received a food pellet. What type of consequence is this?
Positive Reinforcement
The individual must have the physical and/or mental ability to replicate the behavior. What aspect of SLT is this?
Potential
The best way of prolonging the storage duration of information beyond its limit in short-term memory is through _________
Rehearsal
Part of HM's brain that was removed
Hippocampus
Identify the CS:
You get shots every three months in the doctor's office for back pain. Your back feels better when you see the nurse who gives you the shots at the grocery store.
Seeing the nurse
A teacher giving a student extra homework for being disruptive
Positive Punishment
This term means that we don't have to personally experience a reward or a punishment for a behavior; we can watch another person experience it and then learn through observation.
Vicarious Reinforcement
Memories of general facts/knowledge about the world
Semantic memories
What is the function of the hippocampus?
Moving memories from STM to LTM
