Mechanisms Of Learning
Classical Conditioning
Operant Conditioning
Observational Learning
100
Relatively Permanent change in Behaviour that occurs as a result of experience
What is Learning?
100
Process of learning associations between a stimulus in the environment and a behavioural response.
What is conditioning?
100
An organism will tend to repeat its behaviour that has desirable consequences or avoid undesirable consequences.
What is Operant Conditioning?
100
Learning through watching and listening as someone else does something.
What is observational learning?
200
Automatic involuntary behaviour that does not require prior experience.
What is a reflex?
200
Type of learning that occurs through the repeated association of two or more different stimuli
What is classical conditioning?
200
Small chamber in which an experimental animal learns to make a particular response for which the consequences can be controlled by researcher.
What is s skinners box?
200
Canadian born psychologist who extensively researched observational learning.
Who is Albert Bandura
300
The Tiny space between the axon ending of one neuron and the dendrites of another.
What is a synaptic gap.
300
Stimulus that is neutral at the start of conditioning process and does not normally produce the unconditioned response.
What is the conditioned stimulus (CS)
300
A program for giving reinforcement, specifically the frequency and manner in which the desired response is reinforced.
What are schedules of reinforcement?
300
Learning through observation requires watching models behaviour.
What is attention?
400
Ability of the brains neural structure or function to be changed by experience throughout the lifespan.
What is plasticity?
400
stimulus that consistently produces a particular naturally occurring response.
What is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
400
When the reinforcer is given after unpredictable number of correct responses.
What is a Variable Ratio schedule?
400
Imitating what has been observed.
What is Reproduction?
500
Most apparent in recovery from trauma due to brain injury.
What is adaptive plasticity?
500
Reappearance of a CR when the CS is presented, following a rest period.
What is spontaneous recovery?
500
When an unpleasant stimulus is removed or avoided and strengthens the desired response.
What is negative reinforcement?
500
Learner must be motivated to perform behaviour.
What is Motivation-reinforcement?
