Elicited Behavior
100
A measurable characteristic of some testing condition
What is a variable?
100
smell of food, dust in the air, puff of air in the eye
What is an eliciting stimulus?
100
Habituation
Which process is most stimulus specific?
100
Recovery of responding to a habituated stimulus following a period of no stimulation
What is spontaneous recovery?
100
Decrease in responding as a result of the sensory receptors not being able to fire anymore
What is sensory adaptation?
200
The experimental condition manipulated by the experimenter in an attempt to identify its effects on behavior
What is an independent variable?
200
Early sequence of the modal action patter
What are appetitive behaviors?
200
A stimulus-response relationship
What is elicited behavior?
200
The interstimulus interval
What is the difference between long term and short term habituation?
200
Habituation is stimulus specific, whereas the other processes are not
How can you differentiate between habituation and sensory adaptation or response fatigue?
300
Measurement of the subject's behavior
What is the dependent variable?
300
appetitive behavior, consumatory behavior
What are the components of the modal action pattern?
300
Long term habituation
Which type of habituation has longer lasting effects?
300
Habituation
Decrease in responding with repeated presentation of the same stimulus
300
Mostly occurs with aversive or punishing stimuli
When does sensitization occur most often?
400
It's a variable that covaries with the independent variable, affecting the dependent variable
What is a confound?
400
Innate, typically not species-specific, have survival value, involuntary
What is a reflex?
400
Sneezing, knee jerk, close eye, startle
What is a reflex?
400
Recovery of responding to a habituated stimulus as a result of the presentation of a new stimulus
What is dishabituation?
400
The behavioral outcome of these processes depends on which one of them is stronger; sensitization and habituation compete for control of behavior.
What is the dual process theory?
500
two levels
How many levels of the independent variable are in an experiment, at minimum?
500
An alligator hunting and consuming prey
What is an example of a modal action pattern?
500
Consumatory behavior is more stereotypical, appetitive behavior is more variable
Which pare some differences between appetitive and consumatory behavior?
500
Increase in responding with repeated presentations of the same stimulus
What is sensitization?
500
Decrease in responding as a result of the muscle being too fatigued to respond
What is response fatigue?
