the tendency of behavior learned in one situation (in the presence of certain stimuli) to occur only in the training situation.
What is discrimination?
100
responding in a similar manner to two or more stimuli
What is stimulus generalization?
100
Probability of responding depends on the antecedent stimulus present
What is stimulus control?
100
deterioration in performance of a learned behavior following a retention interval.
What is forgetting?
100
Just because your dad learned how to drive it does not mean he passes that knowledge on to you.
What is nonheritability ?
200
Stimuli alternate and each one is correlated with a different schedule of reinforcement
What is successive discrimination training?
200
A graph that displays responding across an acquisition stimulus and a series of test stimuli
What is a generalization gradient?
200
Discrimination training proceeds more rapidly when different behaviors produce different reinforcers
What differential outcome effect?
200
The period between a learning experience and its recall
What is retention interval?
200
Quick name 3 examples of neurological damage!
What is
the environment
head injuries
disease and malnutrition
300
The S- is first presented in a faded form and is on for much shorter than S+; S-’s intensity and duration is increased gradually
What is errorless discrimination training?
300
A pigeon is taught to peck 3 colored keys for food. Suddenly when pigeon pecks key 1 he gets shocked. The pigeon no longer pecks any of the keys.
What is generalization following punishment?
300
The theorists who believed generalization is the absence of learning
Who is Lashley and Wade?
300
Behavior is learned to criterion before and after a retention interval
Relearning method
300
The tendency of some animals to follow the first moving object they see after birth
What is imprintingl?
400
Discrimination between groups and generalization within groups of related stimuli
What is a concept?
400
Generalization across people
What is vicarious generalization?
400
discrimination training produces excitatory and inhibitory gradients
What is Spence's theory of discrimination?
400
A behavior is tested for generalization before and after a retention interval
What is gradient degradation?
400
The tendency to revert to a MAP
What is instinctive drift?
500
involves 3 or more stimuli, and what is learned is a conditional discrimination
What is matching to sample?
500
a graph that displays poor stimulus control and a graph that displays good stimulus control
What is a flat function and a steep function?
500
The theorist that believed that generalization is learning and that the shape of the generalization gradient is dependent upon physical properties of the stimuli.
Who is Pavlov?
500
