Learning |

|
|
Associative Learning |
Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli or a response and its consequences. |
|
|
Stimulus |
Any event or situation that evokes a response |
|
|
Respondent Behavior |
Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus |
|
|
Operant Behavior |
Behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences. |
|
|
Cognitive learning |
The acquisition of mental information whether by observing events, by watching others, or through language. |
|
|
Classical conditioning |
A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events |
|
|
Behaviorism |
View that psychology one should be an objective science and that to studies behaviors without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologist today agree with one but not with 2 |
|
|
Neutral stimulus NS |
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning |
|
|
Unconditioned response UR |
In classical conditioning, an unlearned naturally occurring response to an unconditioned stimulus |
|
|
Unconditioned stimulus US |
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally, naturally, and automatically triggers an unconditioned response |
|
|
Condition response CR |
A classical conditioning, a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. |
|
|
Conditioned stimulus |
Originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US) comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR) |
|
|
Acquisition |
Denicia stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an uncontrolled stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response |
|
|
Extinction |
The diminishing of a conditioned response, occurs in classical conditioning we're an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus occurs an opera conditioning one response is no longer reinforced. |
|
|
Spontaneous recovery |
The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response |
|
|
Generalization |
The tendency, once the response has been condition, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses |
|
|
Discrimination |
The learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli but do not signal and unconditioned stimulus |
