Introduction to Learning
Classical Conditioning
Operant Conditioning
Social & Cognitive Factors
Conditioning
(Random)
100

the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or being taught

Learning

100

learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to bring out a response where it is paired with a stimulus that naturally brings out a response

Classical Conditioning
100

a reinforcer that occurs closely to a behavior in time (rat gets food pellet for pressing on a bar)

Immediate Reinforcer

100

children imitate (model) behaviors; study used Bobo dolls to demonstrate the following

Modeling Behaviors

100

when a UCS (good) does not follow a CS (tone), CR (salivation) starts to decrease and at some point goes extinct

Extinction

200

the process of training of accustoming a person or animal to behave in a certain way or to accept certain circumstances

Conditioning

200

something that triggers a response

Stimulus

200

a highly controlled environment used to study operant conditioning processes with laboratory animals; created the "_______ Box"

B.F. Skinner

200

Who performed the Bobo Doll Experiment in 1961, that showed how people imitate behaviors based on reward or punishment? 

Albert Bandura

200

when we associate a seemingly random action or item with an extreme (whether positive or negative) outcome (i.e. lucky socks, broken mirror)

Superstition

300

a sudden realization to a solution to a problem

Insight Learning

300

Who studied how to classically condition dogs into salivating at the sound of a bell?

Ivan Pavlov

300

number of times desired behavior is performed

Ratio

300

This occurs in four stages:

1.paying attention and perceiving features of another's behavior 2. remembering the behavior 3. reproducing the behavior 4. being motivated to learn and carry out the behavior

Observational Learning

300

Abby ate a supreme pizza with peppers for dinner, and before bed, her stomach started hurting and she threw up. Now, every time she sees a supreme pizza with peppers, her stomach starts to hurt, what could she possibly have?

Taste Aversion

400

subconscious retention of info without reinforcement or motivation

Latent Learning

400
tendency to respond to a stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus

Stimulus Generalization

400
decrease in response by adding/giving an aversive

Positive Punishment

400

the process of gaining greater awareness of many physiological functions primarily using information on the activity of those same systems, with a goal of being able to manipulate them at will

Biofeedback

400

the phase of pairing the NS (becomes CS) and UCS over and over again until the subject associates the two together

Aquisition

500

basis of all learning is in what two things we associate together and how that triggers a response

Association

500

After a rest period, the dogs would once again salivate at the sound of a bell. What is this an example of?

Sponateous Recovery

500

responses that produce desirable results will be learned, or "stamped" into the organism

Law of Effect
500

learning the consequences of an action by watching others being rewarded or punished for performing the action

Vicarious Learning 

500

operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior closer towards target behavior through successive approximations

Shaping
