Pavlov's Bark Side
Salivating automatically when food is placed in your mouth is this type of response.
What is an unconditioned response (UCR)?
Learning by watching another person's behavior is called this.
Learning by watching another person's behavior is called this.
A TikTok showing someone successfully making a complicated recipe could teach you this without you personally receiving reinforcement.
What is observational learning?
This type of memory is in the frontal lobe and temporarily holds and actively manipulates information.
What is working memory?
Remembering something that never actually happened is an example of this.
What is a false memory?
After repeatedly pairing a bell with food, the bell becomes this type of stimulus.
What is a conditioned stimulus (CS)?
This psychologist became famous for demonstrating observational learning using the Bobo doll.
Who is Albert Bandura?
If watching funny TikToks adds an enjoyable experience and makes you more likely to return, this could be considered this.
What is Positive Reinforcement?
Remembering the meaning of the word "neuron" is an example of this type of memory.
What is semantic memory?
When old information interferes with learning new information, this type of interference has occurred.
What is proactive interference?
If Pavlov repeatedly rings the bell without presenting food and the dog eventually stops salivating, this has occurred.
What is extinction?
A child sees an older sibling receive praise for cleaning their room and then cleans their own room. The child's behavior is influenced by this.
What is reinforcement?
Retelling a TikTok video to your friend relies on this type of memory.
What is Episodic (Explicit also acceptable).
The process of getting information into memory and takes place in the hippocampus is called this.
What is encoding?
This type of amnesia involves an inability to form new long-term memories following an injury or other disruption.
What is anterograde amnesia?
A child receives a painful injection at a doctor's office and later becomes anxious merely upon entering the office. The office has become this.
What is a conditioned stimulus?
These are an example of how Bandura's work influenced movies and television.
What are Parental Guidelines or ratings (G, PG, R)?
A group of friends practices a TikTok dance over and over until they can perform the routine in sync with the music is an example of this memory system at work.
What is Procedural Memory (Implicit memory also acceptable)
Your cerebellum is critical in the formation of these memories, like how to ride a bike.
What are procedural or implicit memories?
H.M. improved on a mirror-drawing task across trials but did not consciously remember having practiced the task. His improvement demonstrated this type of memory.
What is implicit/procedural memory?
A dog conditioned to salivate when hearing a 1,000-Hz tone also salivates to a 900-Hz tone. This demonstrates this phenomenon.
What is stimulus generalization?
We believe these cells in the brain are partly responsible for observational learning.
What are Mirror Neurons?
A TikTok creator receives positive comments every time they post workout videos, increasing the frequency of those videos. This is an example of this type of learning.
What is operant conditioning?
This is the area of the brain where explicit memories are thought to be stored long term.
What is the frontal lobe (or prefrontal cortex)?
Work by Elizabeth Loftus altered this practice in police interrogation of witnesses and suspects.
What are leading questions?
