Memory Processes
100

This refers to the tendency for a conditioned stimulus to lose its ability to evoke a conditioned response

Extinction

100

This term refers to something that increases the likelihood of a behavior

Reinforcer

100

In this application of classical conditioning, an individual is continuously presented with the fear-evoking stimuli

Flooding

100

This type of memory refers to our ability to remember to perform an act in the future

Prospective memory

100

This is defined as the processes by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved

Memory

200

Before conditioning, this object elicits a natural response from an organism

Unconditioned stimulus

200

Getting a ticket after speeding is an example of...

Negative punishment

200

Putting bitter-tasting polish on your nails to get yourself to stop biting them is this type of application using classical conditioning

Aversion therapy

200

These are the three stages of memory

Sensory, short-term, long-term

200

In this type of long-term memory retrieval, an individual recognizes something that they have experienced

Recognition

300

In the Little Albert experiment, this term described the fact that his fear of rats "spread" to other stimuli, such as rabbits

Generalization

300

Making your bed to make your parent stop "nagging" you is an example of this

Negative reinforcement

300

This term refers to the procedure for teaching complex behaviors by reinforcing approximations of the target behavior

Shaping

300

This type of memory is split into two subdivisions: Iconic and echoic

Sensory

300

The idea that studying in the same room that you will later take an exam will help you perform better aligns with this phenomenon in long-term memory retrieval

Context-dependent memory

400

In Pavlov's experiment, ringing a bell became this term after being repeatedly paired with food

Conditioned stimulus

400

This type of reinforcement tends to be more resistant to extinction than the other type of reinforcement

Partial reinforcement

400

This type of intervention uses relaxation techniques and gradually exposing an individual to fear-evoking stimuli

Systematic desensitization

400

This phenomenon in short-term memory refers to our tendency to recall more accurately the first and last items in a series

Serial-position effect

400

This type of error in memory refers to when a person retains factual knowledge, but misremembers where, when, or how they acquired the information

Source misattribution

500

During this phase of classical conditioning, a researcher repeatedly pairs a conditioned stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus

Acquisition

500

Playing slot machines is an example of this type of reinforcement schedule

Variable ratio

500

This phenomenon, related to classical conditioning, is unique because it requires just one negative experience to cause a connection between stimuli

Taste aversion

500

This stage of memory has a capacity of 3-7 units

Sensory 

500

The man from the video in class, Clive, suffered damage to this lobe of his brain
