Pavlovian Terms
Variables Affecting Pavlovian Learning
Miscellaneous
100
Is the most famous influence in classical conditioning
Who is Pavlov
100
When behavior is no longer changing systematically from session to session
What is Steady State
100
Largely inborn and usually permanent reflec in all members of a species
What is Unconditioned Reflex
100
"US if and only if CS"
What is CS-US contingency
100
This statement of procedures allows for replication in the lab
What is operational definitions
200
Published "Psychology As A Behaviorist Views It" in 1913
Who is John Watson
200
When you change some aspects of an original experiment in order to assess the generality of its findings
What is Systematic Replication
200
The pairing of a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus
What is Trial
200
The temporal proximity between the CS and the US
What is CS-US Contiguity
200
The idea that all behavioral events have preceeding causes
What is deterministic
300
Published "The Origin of Species" in 1859
Who is Darwin
300
Experimental Design in which the independent variable is different across groups
What is Between-Subjects Experimental Design
300
Conditioning with presentation of a US
What is Higher-Order Conditioning
300
When the CS begins and ends before the US occurs
What is Trace Conditioning
300
When you repeat the same exact experiment in the same exact way
What is Direct Replication
400
Created an intro to Operant Learning by using puzzle boxes and cats
Who is Thorndike
400
When a higher level of the reinforcer produces more behavior or responses
What is Reinforcer Magnitude
400
Time between the CS and the CR
What is latency
400
CS _____////______////_____ US_____////______////______
What is Simultaneous Conditioning
400
Is the initial learning, or where the subject is acquiring their behavior which is still changing over sessions
What is Acquisition Period
500
Introduced Tabula Rasa, or the idea that the mind is a blank slate that is written on by experience
Who is Locke
500
Experimental Design in which each subject receives all levels of the independent variable
What is Within-Subject Experimental Design
500
When the CS occurs alone, i.e., without the US
What is Probes
500
This is a weak procedure for generating learning because the CS may come to predict opposite response, or a "safety zone"
What is Backwards Conditioning
500
Responses per unit time- part of the seven ways to measure learning (which was not gone over in class!)
What is Rate
