Memory
Retaining of information
what is storage
Define Operant Conditioning
What is learning based on the consequences of responding
Define classical conditioning
What is a neutral stimulus associated with a natural response
Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli
What is positive reinforcement
neutral stimulus (NS),unconditioned stimulus (US), unconditioned response (UR), conditioned stimulus, what is missing?
What is the Conditioned Response
What is the relatively permanent storage of information.
Long term memory/Recognition
Behavior that operates on the environment to produce rewarding or punishing events
Operant Behavior
A stimulus that evokes no response before conditioning.
Neutral Stimulus
Give an allowance or treats to encourage children to complete their chores instead of nagging.
Positive Reinforcement
Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the shower becomes very hot and causes the person to jump back. Over time, the person begins to jump back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes
Classical: UCS- temp of water UCR- jump back CS- sound/flush of toilet CR- jumping back when you hear the sound

Operant Behavior
Classical conditioning is a form of which type of learning? Associating one event with another.
Associative learning
A lion in a circus learns to stand up on a chair and jump through a hoop to receive a food treat. What was responsible for the behavior change ? What kind of reinforcer/punisher was it?
The food which would be positive reinforcement

UCS: The Car accident
UCR: Student Injured or Nervous
CS: Sound of Sqealing Brakes
CR: Cringing at the sound of Breaks
What are the three stages of memory?
Encoding, Storage, and Retrieval

Fixed Ratio
Which type of stimulus must be paired with a neutral stimulus in order for the conditioned response?
The Unconditioned Stimulus
