classical conditioning
conditioning contd.
Stimulus Control
Stimulus and Aversive Control
100
a stimulus that naturally elicits a response
What is an unconditioned stimulus
100
conditioning when the CS and US occur at the very same time
What is simultaneous conditioning
100
the tendency for similar responses to be made in the presence of similar stimuli
What is generalization
100
If the reinforcers for 2 (different) correct responses are also different, the discrimination between the two stimuli will be learned faster
What is Differential Outcomes Effect (DOE)
200
the response that is elicited by a US. Often times, it is reflexive.
What is Unconditioned Response
200
conditioning when the CS occurs before and overlaps with the US
What is delay conditioning
200
the tendency for a specific response to be made in the presence of of specific stimulus
What is discrimination
200
In Solomon & Wynne's escape-avoidance experiment, everytime a light went off, 10 seconds later a __________ was delivered
What is a shock
300
initially a neutral stimulus, this elicits a response AFTER being paired with an unconditioned stimulus
What is a conditioned stimulus
300
Conditioning in which the CS ends before the US is presented (no overlap)
What is trace conditioning
300
The tendency for a change in behavior, due to a learning experience, to spread to other similar behaviors
What is response generalization
300
In Mowher's two factor theory of avoidance, the first factor is ______________, such that the light is paired with shock thus becoming a CS which elicits fear.
What is classical conditioning
400
In Pavlov's lab, the ____________ was salivation in response to the bell
What is a conditioned response?
400
conditioning in which the CS reliably follows the US (worst procedure)
What is backward conditioning
400
the tendency for changes in behavior learned in one situation to spread across different situations
What is stimulus generalization
400
Mowher's second factor in his two-factor theory of avoidance is ______________ such that the behavior of jumping during the CS is reinforced by escaping shock, and thus, reduction of fear.
What is operant conditioning
500
involves pairing a NS with an already established conditioned stimulus
What is higher order conditioning
500
"If the bell rings, food is presented" is an example of
What is CS-US CONTINGENCY
500
"In the presence of cute girls in class, Josh is reinforced for making jokes. Josh is now more likely to make jokes when he is meeting new people at Cocktail Club" is an example of:
What is STIMULUS generalization
500
There are many problems associated with Mowher's two-factor avoidance theory. Name one:
What is -dog's were not afraid after lots of training -the sd (light) did not produce any physiological effects (such as heart rate) -thus, if dogs were not afraid, fear reduction is not the reinforcer -animals can still learn avoidance responses without an sd (signal)
