The Name Rings a Bell
The stimulus that evokes a reflexive response
What is the unconditioned stimulus (US)?
Operant conditioning is based on this.
What is the Law of Effect?
This is the term used to describe the person doing the behavior to be imitated
What is "model"?
The process of transferring information from STM to LTM
What is memory consolidation?
Another name for the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon
What is blocking?
In Watson's famous experiment, Little Albert responded fearfully to other furry objects when he was originally only taught to fear the rat. This is an example of what?
What is generalization?
These are small, component steps of a target behavior that are reinforced to shape the organism into performing the target behavior.
What are successive approximations?
The study showing that children will act violently towards a toy if they watch an adult act violently towards it first.
What is the Bobo doll experiment?
The three functions of memory
What are Encoding, Storage, and Retrieval?
The three ways to retrieve information from LTM
What are recall, recognition, and relearning?
Your dog barks when he hears the rustling of his food bag every night as you go to feed him. If your dog then begins to bark to the sound of you opening the cabinet where to food is kept. This is an example of what?
What is higher order conditioning?
A student is placed in a timeout after pushing another student while playing outside. Afterwards, the student does not push others again. What is this an example of?
What is negative punishment?
This attempts to explain how learning occurs without external reinforcement
What is social learning theory?
The two main types of LTM (both sets of names)
What are explicit (declarative) and implicit (non-declarative) memory?
You are in an accident and can no longer make new memories. You are suffering from what?
What is anterograde amnesia?
This happens during extinction
What is a decrease in the conditioned response (CR)?
A rat is reinforced with a food pellet for its first lever press after an unpredictable period of time. What partial schedule of reinforcement is this?
What is a variable interval schedule?
Proposed observational learning
Who is Albert Bandura?
The capacity and time limit of STM
What are "7 +/-2" and "approximately 20 seconds"?
Misattribution, suggestibility, and bias are these type of memory errors
What are distortion errors?
During the process of classical conditioning, you do this repeatedly
What is present the NS before the US?
This partial schedule of reinforcement produces the least amount of responding of the four.
What is a fixed interval schedule?
The steps in the modeling process, in order
What is Attention, Retention, Reproduction, Motivation?
The three STM systems of the Baddeley and Hitch model that are controlled by the central executive
What are the Visuospatial sketchpad, Episodic buffer, and Phonological loop?
If Little Albert had damaged this brain structure, he would not have been conditioned to fear the white rat in Watson's experiment
What is the cerebellum?
