What are the four types of learning? |
1. Stimulus-response 2. Motor 3. Perceptual 4. Relational |
|
|
Two areas of the brain vital to learning and memory |
Amygdala and hippocampus |
|
|
The process by which experiences change our nervous system and our behavior |
Learning |
|
|
Stimulus response learning |
The ability to learn to perform a particular behavior when a stimulus is present |
|
|
Classical conditioning |
A form of learning in which an unimportant stimulus acquires the properties of an important one. It involves association between two stimuli |
|
|
Operant conditioning |
A form of learning in which a reinforcing or punishing outcome follows a specific behavior in a specific situation. (Must have ea reinforcer stimulus and a punishing stimulus) |
|
|
Motor learning |
The establishment of changes within motor system following a stimulus from the environment. |
|
|
Perceptual learning |
The ability to learn to recognize stimuli that have been perceived before. Each of our sensory systems is capable of this. Accomplished by changes in the sensory-association cortex. |
|
|
Relational learning |
Learning the relationships among individual stimuli. Includes spatial learning |
|
|
Chunking technique |
A way to expand the capacity of short-term memory, such as grouping pieces of information together. |
|
|
Two key areas of the brain used in motor learning |
The cortex: primary motor cortes controls movements. REM sleep enhances motor learning The basal ganglia: stimulus response and motor learning -people with Parkinson's have issues here. |
|
|
3 regions of the hippocampus used in memory |
1. Dentate gyrus 2. The CA fields 3. The subiculum |
