What responses and stimuli characterize classical conditioning?
Neutral response, unconditioned response, conditioned response
Neutral stimulus, unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus
What does the Observational Learning Theory say about learning?
We learn by observing others' behavior and imitating it
Name the three memory systems
Sensory, short-term, and long-term
What are retrieval cues?
Things that help get information from long-term memory
What is the neutral stimulus in Pavlov's experiment?
The sound of a bell
What was Skinner's theory behind operant conditioning?

Positive: something is added after a behavior
Negative: something is taken away after a behavior
Describe the Bobo Doll experiment
Good enough for me
Semantic and visual (putting a face to a name)

Levels of Processing Theory
What is the unconditioned response in Pavlov's experiment and how was it changed into a conditioned response?

What are the types of interference and how do they affect our memory?
Retroactive interference is when new information inhibits recall of old information.
Proactive interference is when old information inhibits recall of new information.
