Learning 1
we apt to stop trying/studying if we think we know it already
illusion of knowing
ways to measure changes in behavior
errors, intensity, speed, latency, rate, fluency
in classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits an unlearned, automatic response
unconditioned stimulus
adding extra sensitivity training to employees who offend or harass someone at work.
positive punishment
you are studying for approximately 180 minutes per night. You provide yourself with reinforcement for every 10 minutes, 12 minutes,12 minutes, and 13 minutes spent studying. On average, you provide yourself with reinforcement every 11 minutes (VI 11).
variable Interval (VI)
a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus
conditioned response
a type of classical conditioning in which a previously desirable or neutral food comes to be perceived as repugnant because it is associated with negative stimulation
taste aversion
in classical conditioning, the disappearance of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus
extinction
the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after some time has passed
spontaneous recovery
the tendency to respond in the same way to stimuli that have similar characteristics
generalization
a type of counterconditioning, used to treat phobias, in which a pleasant, relaxed state is associated with gradually increasing anxiety-triggering stimuli
systematic desensitization
in classical conditioning, the ability to distinguish the conditioned stimulus from other stimuli that are similar
discrimination
in operant conditioning, an intervention used to treat maladaptive actions.
behaviour modification
the act of learning a task incidentally without intent
implicit learning
a therapy procedure based on classical conditioning that replaces a negative response to a stimulus with a positive response
counter conditioning
a stimulus or event that follows a response and increases the frequency of that response
reinforcement
effective learning and study strategies
take notes, use of graphic organizers, summarize, comprehension monitoring, self-questioning, mnemonics
four lobes of the brain
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
Braille readers having an increased cortical development in the section of the brain that corresponded to the fingers of the left hand is this an example of experience-expectant plasticity or experience-dependent plasticity?
experience-dependent plasticity
unpleasant stimuli that increase the frequency of behavior when they are removed
negative reinforcers
used a “puzzle box” to study the adaptive behavior of animals and the created the Law of Effect
Thorndike
the reinforcement of a desired response every time it occurs
continuous reinforcement
2 forms of behavior control
response cost, verbal reprimands, restitution and overcorrection, time-out, corporal punishment, end of reinforcement,
in operant conditioning, a procedure in which reinforcement guides behavior toward closer approximations of the desired goal
shaping
methods to study the brain or it's activity
animal studies, postmortem studies, case studies,
