Learning
Behaviors triggered by maturation and change of seasons.
What are "instincts"?
Process in which we learn to associate stimuli.
What is "classical conditioning?
Neutral stimulus becomes conditioned after repeated exposure and pairing with unconditioned stimulus. (Hint: Learned association of the bell and the food.)
What is a "conditioned stimulus"?
Rewarding successive approximations of a target behavior down into many small achievable steps.
What is "shaping"?
Psychologist who used dogs salivating to demonstrate classical conditioning.
Who is Ivan Pavlov?
Learn by watching others and then imitating what they do or say.
What is modeling?
Another term for unconditioned responses.
What are "unlearned" responses?
The initial part of learning in which neutral stimulus will begin to elicit conditioned response; eventually becoming conditioned stimulus.
What is acquisition?
Receives a reinforcer each time it displays a behavior.
What is "continuous reinforcement"?
It is not just imitation but it creates a knew response, and one has the choice of whether or not to imitate or not.
What is Social Learning Theory?
Relatively permanent change in behaviors or knowledge from experience involving conscious and unconscious processes.
What is learning?
Stimulus that does not elicit a response on its own, but when paired with an unconditioned stimulus will create unconditioned response.
What is a "neutral stimulus"?
Decrease in conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer presented with conditioned stimulus.
What is "extinction"?
Organisms learn to associate a behavior and its consequences.
What is "operant conditioning"?
Associative learning, conditioning, and observational learning.
What is behaviorism?
These behaviors are reflexes and instincts.
What are unlearned behaviors?
Stimulus that elicits a reflexive response.
What is an "unconditioned stimulus"?
The return of a previous extinguished conditioned response following a period of rest.
What is "spontaneous recovery"?
Attention, retention, reproduction, motivation, vicarious reinforcement, vicarious punishment.
What are the steps in the modeling Process?
Behaviorist that conducted experiments using Little Albert, stimulus response actions-conditioned responses.
Who is John Watson?
Motor or neural reactions to specific stimuli.
What are reflexes?
A natural reaction to a given stimulus.
What is an "unconditioned response"?
Organisms learning to respond differently to various stimuli that are similar (Ie. bell to door bell)
What is "stimulus discrimination"?
Involves reinforcers and consequences to enact a change in behavior.
What is "Operant Conditioning"?
Learning that occurs but is not observable in behavior until there is a reason to demonstrate it.
What is "Latent Learning"?
