Learning
What is associative learning
linking two events that occur close together
what is stimulus
any event or situation that evokes a response
What is classical conditoning
The type of learning in which we link two or more stimuli; as a result, to illustrate t pavlovs classic experiment, the first stimulus comes to elicit behavior and anticipation on the second stimulus
What is positive reinforcement
A reinforcement that strengthens responding by presenting a typically pleasurable stimulus and immediately after the response
the view that psychology should be an objective science that studies behavior without references to mental process
any example
What is unconditional response
in classical condition an unlearned, naturally occurring response to an unconditioned stimulus
What is Operant conditoning
A type of learning in which a behavior becomes more likely to reoccur if followed by a reinforcer or less likely to reoccur if followed by a punishment
What is positive punishment
administer and aversive stimulus
what is unconditional response
in classical condition an unlearned, naturally occurring response to an unconditioned stimulus
What is learning
the process of acquiring through experience new and relatively enduring information or behaviors
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that is unconditionally naturally and automatically-triggers an unconditioned response
B.F Skinner
what is negative reinforcement
reinforcement that strengthens a response by reducing or removing something negative
It's an operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior towards closer and closer approximation of the desired behavior
What is cognitive learning
acquistions of mental infomation, whether by observing events, by watching others, or through language
What is Conditioned response
In classical conditioning, a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus
What psychologist is known most for classical conditioning
Ian Pavlov
What is negative punsihmnet
Withdrawl of rewarding stimulus
Preparedness
a biological predisposition to learn association, such as taste and nausea that have survival values
What is aquation
the initial stage- when one links a neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus so the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response
what is condition stimuli
In classical conditioning, originally neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditional stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response
What is Pavlov's Dog
Pavlov rang a bell and then fed the dog. Then he measured how much the dog salivated when he rang the bell.
What are primary reinforcers
innately a reinforcing stimulus such as one that satisfies a biological need
What is instinctive drift
the tendency of learned behavior to gradually revert to biologically predisposed patterns in the end
