What is sleep?
This part of your eye is responsible for night vision but is poor at fine details
What are rods?
This type of learning is active and based on associations between actions and their consequences
What is operant conditioning?
This is the processing, organizing, and interpreting of sensory information
What is perception?
This study provided the foundation for social learning
This part of your brain is usually deactivated during REM sleep
What is the prefrontal cortex?
Most of your sensory information goes through this part of your brain
What is the thalamus?
If a cat is sprayed in the face with water to stop a bad behavior, the owner is using this type of reinforcement or punishment
What is positive punishment?
What is the difference threshold?
This was the dominant view of learning before observational learning
What is behaviorism?
When someone wakes up feeling disoriented, it is likely they were in this stage of sleep
What is Stage 3 or 4?
Your olfactory bulb sends sensory information to this cortex
A bell that makes a dog drool when it's ringed is called this type of stimulus
What is a conditioned stimulus?
This type of sensory information allows you to tell if food is bitter or not
This type of observational learning occurs when a person imitates the behavior of another
What is modeling?
A person with sleep spindles and K-complexes is in this stage of sleep
What is Stage 2?
This phase of conditioning is when a conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus
What is extinction?
This theory states that processing stimuli requires personal judgments
What is signal detection theory?
This type of observational learning occurs when a person learns by seeing another experience consequences for their actions
What is vicarious learning?
The activation-synthesis hypothesis says dreams are the result of this
What is random brain activity?
This part of a sound wave determines how loud it is
What is amplitude?
This reinforcement schedule is when a reinforcer is given at irregular intervals after an unpredictable amount of responses
What is a variable-ratio schedule?
When we are presented with pieces of information, we engage in this type of processing
What is bottom-up processing?
This part of the brain is involved in learning fear through observation
What is the amygdala?
