Memory
The correct order of the major processes of memory
encoding, storage, and retrieval.
Experiment on how aggressive behaviors could be acquired through observational learning
Bobo doll experiment
Measure of how different the intensity of a stimulus has to be before an individual can tell it has changed.
Just noticeable difference
Jim has driven a car with a manual (stick shift) transmission all his life. After switching to an automatic he keeps trying to step on the clutch pedal that is not there.
proactive interference
Effects that decrease behaviors
Punishers
oel was annoyed by the strong perfume his coworker was wearing. After some time, Joel didn’t even notice the smell anymore.
Sensory Adaptation
Shauntelle comes home from school one day, excited that she’s learned the first five presidents of the United States of America, and shares that list with her mother.
Semantic
A child touches a hot stove and feels pain. The addition of the painful stimulus decreases the likelihood of the child touching the stove again.
Positive Punishment
The smallest amount of stimulation needed for detection
Absolute threshold
When he was 10 Billy won the city chess championship. Thirty years later, he remembers shaking hands with his opponent and lifting the trophy.
Episodic memory
A teenager loses their phone privileges for breaking curfew. The removal of the phone decreases the likelihood of the teenager breaking curfew again.
Negative Punishment
Two senses that respond to chemical stimuli
Olfaction and gustation
The hypothesis that a retrieval cue will be effective to the extent that information encoded from that cue overlaps or matches information in the memory trace.
encoding specificity
A driver fastens their seatbelt to stop the annoying beeping sound in the car. The removal of the unpleasant sound increases the likelihood of the driver wearing the seatbelt in the future.
Negative Reinforcement
The physical processing of environmental stimuli by the sense organs
Sensation
