learning
changes in behaviour resulting from animal’s interactions with enviro
learning characteristics
specific to event, adaptive, lasting, involve NS changes
recall
expression of responses as a result of learning
memory
changes to NS by which info is stored in learning
non-associative learning
animal exposed repeatedly to stimulus, behaviour changes
sensitization
repeated exposure to stimulus to increase response
associative learning
animal exposed to 2+ stimuli that are related, response to 1 stimulus altered by exposure to 2nd
types of associative learning
classical, instrumental, passive avoidance
complex learning
insight, reasoning, latent learning
latent learning
putting 2 separate experiences together is if they had been instrumentally conditioned
habituation
waning of response to repeated stimulus
spontaneous recovery
reversal of habituation following a rest period
dishabituation
recover response strength due to strong novel stimulus
extinction
disruption of learned association
classical conditioning
existing behaviour is elicited by new stimulus, is physiological response
classical conditioning components
UCS, UCR, NS (neural stimulus), NS -> CS, UCR -> CR
instrumental learning
learning from results of actions, animal can behave spontaneously
operant
behaviour experimenter wishes to alter
shaping
stepwise additions of instrumental learning that can lead to complex sequences
Skinner
operant conditioning
passive avoidance learning
taste aversion, only requires 1 exposure
ecological constraints on learning
they exist
punishment
behaviour decreases in response to stimulus
reinforcement
behaviour increases in response to stimulus
positive outcome
something presented
negative outcome
something removed
positive reinforcement
very effective
positive punishment
unsuccessful
negative punishment
successful if animal has a warning
reinforcement schedules
work harder when reinforcements are fewer and more unpredictable (continuous, FI, VI, FR, VR)
cognition
characteristics of certain types of brain processes that lie between sensory and execution
indicators of emotions
arousal, valence
emotional arousal
emotional intensity (HPA, HR, behavioural response)
emotional valence
whether emotional state is positive or negative
cognitive bias
cognitive processes influenced by individual's emotional state, optimistic or pessimistic
judgement bias tasks
measure cognitive bias, use ambiguous stimuli
