Development
Who created the stages of psychosocial development?
Erickson
The first stage of cognitive development according to Piaget where the infant learn about their world through their senses and actions.
Sensorimotor
B.F. Skinner invented a simple device for studying the effects of reinforcers on laboratory animals
What is Skinner Box or Operant Chamber?
Ivan Pavlov discovered
classical condintioning
In learning, the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior
modeling
Agents, such as chemicals and viruses, that can reach the embryo or fetus during prenatal development and cause harm.
teratogens
The understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are out of view
object permance
Programs specifying the frequency and timing of reinforcements. It also includes the ratio schedule and interval schedule.
schedules of reinforcement
This is the biological, natural behavior that is associated with a stimulus in Classical Conditioning.
What is an Unconditioned Response
Frontal Lobe nerve cells that fire when performing specific motor actions but also when observing others do so.
mirror neurons
Older adult's intelligence which specializes in a large body of factual and experienced information
Crystalized intellegence
The three steps of prenatal development- in order.
zygote, embryo, fetus
A reinforcement schedule. When we wait for a specific number of responses utilizing the desired behavior, we reinforce.
fixed ratio schedule
The reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after a time delay
What is Spontaneous recovery?
This famous psychologist produced the "bobo the clown experiment" to measure the effects of observational learning and violence in young children.
Alfred Bandura
A person's inborn characteristic influencing their emotional reactivity and intensity.
temperament
What is a major physical change associated with aging?
Decreased bone density and flexibility
An operant learning technique in which a new behavior is produced by reinforcing responses that are similar to the desired response
shaping
If a dog is classically conditioned to salivate to the sound of the bell, and we remove that stimulus from the equation, what will eventually happen to the dog's conditioned response?
extinction
What is the element of observational learning that involves having a desire to perform the actions?
motivation
Erikson's stage where middle aged adults struggle to determine what their contribution to the world is.
Stagnation vs. Generativity
An optimal period shortly after birth when an organism's exposure to certain stimuli or experiences produces proper development.
Critical Period
When learning has occurred, but it may not be apparent until an incentive has been given to the test subject to demonstrate their learning
latent learning
If beth gets in a car crash that results in her being conditioned to fear that specific location of the accident, what role does the accident play in Classical Conditioning?
unconditioned stimulus
