No Further!
These are the times wherein we are particularly sensitive to learning certain associations and behaviors...like imprinting.
What are critical periods?
This measure of forgetting involves comparing an organism which is supposedly forgetting against an organism which is being presented with a broken conditioning (No US, no SR, no SP).
What is extinction?
These are the strange outcomes on behavior as a result of reinforcement or punishment based upon different ratios, intervals, durations, or times.
What are schedule effects?
This individual argued that traits are formed in organisms by their behaviors, and then passed on in their genetics.
Who was Lamark?
Schedule
CNTNS RNFRCMNT
What is continuous reinforcement?
Garcia and Koelling studied rats in terms of the ease with which they formed various associations to stimuli in order to study this about them.
Paired to Sample Matching is a version of this test of forgetting.
What is recognition?
In this complex schedule, one is reinforced at the end of every used schedule, but there is no SD to signify what schedule you are currently under.
What is mixed schedule?
This researcher was the original theorist who led research into classical conditioning.
Who was Pavlov?
Aspect of Operant Conditioning
NGTV
What is negative?
This is the range of our limitations and sensitivities for learning as established by our genetics.
What is the continuum of preparedness?
We may be able to avoid forgetting by virtue of going above and beyond in our learning of associations, by doing this.
What is overtraining?
When one starts at CR and goes to FR 3 you are engaging in this.
What is stretching the ratio?
This theorist was the original researcher of Operant Conditioning (he may have liked musicals).
Who was Thorndike?
Forgetting Measure
SVNGS
What is savings?
This theorist argued that we cannot learn behaviors by way of passing on our genes.
Who was Darwin?
Reminiscence may be explained by virtue of this phenomenon, wherein we are in a similar circumstance as we were when we originally learned the material.
What is the context effect (or state dependent learning)?
This schedule only reinforces a behavior occurring after a period of time has passed, but the time is inconsistent.
What is variable interval?
Pavlov's theory to explain why classical conditioning occurs goes by this name,
What is the "stimulus substitution theory"?
When Generalization and Discrimination Combine
PK SHFT
What is peak shift?
When we are not adults (children) we are said to be in this stage (where we are often better able to learn).
What is neoteny?
This is the gap in time between learning and retesting during which forgetting may occur.
What is the retention interval?
This hypothesis for PRE is that different schedules reinforce fixed action patterns rather than the individual behaviors that trigger the reinforcement.
What is the Response Unity Hypothesis?
This ancient theory argued that all knowledge exists within the mind, and only needs to be discovered through reason.
What is nativism?
Behavioral Measure
LTNC
What is latency?
