Sensation & Perception
Occurs when a stimulus activates a receptor.
Sensation.
The name of the person who conducted significant experiments about conditioning.
Pavlov.
The difference between a reinforcement and a punishment.
A reinforcement strengthens behavior, while a punishment weakens it.
When you choose to pay attention to something to remember it later, you are practicing this.
Selective attention.
Memories that have been distorted by misinformation are this.
False memories.
The weakest amount of stimulus someone can detect about half the time.
Absolute threshold.
The theory about people learning through imitating the actions and behaviors of others.
Social learning theory.
Something good that is taken away.
Negative punishment.
This untreatable disease is well-known for causing memory loss.
Alzheimer's.
The two types of rehearsal one can practice in order to remember something.
Maintenance and Elaborative.
You are ready to see what you want to see.
Perceptual set.
A conditioned response means this.
A learned response to stimulus.
Behavior is reinforced every time it occurs.
Continuous reinforcement.
These types of memories hold information for up to a second.
Iconic memories.
This causes the loss of memories or the blocking of them.
Interference.
The difference threshold means this.
The amount of difference someone can detect between two stimuli at the same time.
Three types of learning.
Non-associative, associative, observational.
A method involving positive and/or negative to change or reinforce behaviors.
Operant conditioning.
The three stages of the memory process.

Escape conditioning.
A child is given a sticker for completing his work. This situation is an example of this.
Positive reinforcement.
The downside of prospective memory is this.
It reduces the amount of what you can attend to in short-term memory and working storage.
Distributed practice (spreading out learning over time) works due to this.
Spacing effect.
