Learning. Page 9 & 10

Front 1

What are Reflexive examples:

Back 1

Stuff like eye blinking, suckling and gripping with newborns or pissed cvnts.

Front 2

Name behaviors selected by learning:

Back 2

1. Habituation (getting used to stuff)

2. Classical conditioning (association of events)

3. Instrumental conditioning (result of events)

4. Observational learning (observation of event)

Front 3

Explain the dog salivation experiment, the name of the experimenter and what form learning behavior is tested :

Back 3

Ian Pavlov.

Classical conditioning was shown by associating a tone (neutral stimulus) with meat powder (unconditioned stimulus). The tone then became a conditioned stimulus that caused salivation.

Front 4

Basic theory of classical conditioning, with the KEY word, and name the process that concludes Classical conditioning:

Back 4

Neutral stimulus repeatedly given with a stimulus that automatically ELICITS a response, which then causes the neutral stimulus to ELICIT similar response on its own.

NS = No response

US = Unconditioned response

------------------------------------------->

NS + US = UR

NS = CS (through acquisition)

Front 5

Explain the 'Compensatory Reaction' hypothesis with examples:

Back 5

Works when the UR and CR are opposites. For example with a stimulus as a pinga, the UR is release of dopamine, while CR is the body reducing dopamine in body to compensate for the pingas effects. Brain associates a night club with the effects of a pinga, as that is when its taken.

Front 6

Describe the different timing sequences of the CS and US and their effectiveness in classical conditioning:

Back 6

Trace conditioning = CS starts and ends before US (most effective)

Temporal relation = CS starts before and end part way through US. Overlaps.

Simultaneous conditioning = US and CS at the same time.

Backward conditioning = US played before CS.

Front 7

Extinction (and real world application)

Back 7

CS repeatedly presented without US, decreases the CR. "FLOODING" can be used in real world application.

Front 8

What is Spontaneous recovery:

Back 8

After extinction, the CS elicits CR again but to a less significant degree.

Front 9

Examples of Instinctual:

Back 9

Imprinting, homing behaviors.

Front 10

Dishabituation:

Back 10

When you only notice a stimulus after it stops, e.g. onlynotice a lawnmower sound after it ends.
