classical conditioning

100

In Pavlov's studies with dogs, this was the unconditioned stimulus

food/ meat powder

200

This is the type of conditioning in which an unpleasant or negative event is the unconditioned stimulus

aversive conditioning

300

This conditioning paradigm progresses in phases, in the 1st, an association is built, in the second, a compound cue is used, and in the test phase, only the new US is tested for elicitation of the CR.

Blocking

400

This model of conditioning explains learning as "error-correction" learning

Rescorla-Wagnor

500

This is the evolutionary explanation for classical conditioning 

it allows us to predict when a survival-relevant US is coming

classical conditioning in the brain

100

This large structure is the home for classically conditioned associations

cerebellum 

200

The type of neuron in the cerebellar cortex that inhibits the interpositus

Purkinje cell

300

The part of the brain that is responsible for initiating the CR

inferior olive

400

The part of the brainstem responsible for detecting a CS

Pontine nuclei

500

This neurotransmitter is associated with building up the CS- US association in sea hares (and probably humans too)

glutamate

Operant conditioning

100

The formula or diagram of the components of the learned association

Sd --> R --> O

200

a consequence of behavior that leads to increased or continued deployment of the behavior

reinforcer

300

The behavior modification technique that relies on taking away an unpleasant stimulus

negative reinforcement

400

this schedule of reinforcement is probably the most difficult to extinguish

variable ratio

500

This is the term for the allocation of resources that maximizes satisfaction

Bliss point

operant conditioning in the brain

100

This area of the brain stores well-practiced sequences of movements

Basal ganglia

200

this part of the brain is important for the prediction of the outcomes of behaviors

orbitofrontal cortex

300

This neurochemical is responsible for "wanting" in the brain

dopamine 

400

this neurochemical may be responsible for "liking" in the brain

endogenous opioids

500

this is the underlying mechanism of cocaine in the brain

dopamine reuptake inhibitor

chapter 6

100

this graph depicts response rates to similar stimuli being used conditioning paradigms

generalization gradient

200

a training procedure in which a difficult discrimination is learned by starting with a much easier version of the task

errorless discrimination learning

300

This procedure reverses phases 1 and 2 of the blocking procedure (the compound cue comes first)

sensory preconditioning 

400

this is a psychological representation of naturally occurring categories

concept (or schema!)

500

This region of the brain is integral to the learning process

hippocampal region
