Psych Chapter 3

Front 1

A lasting change in behavior or mental processes that results from experience

Back 1

Learning

Front 2

Learning not to respond to the repeated presentation of a stimulus

Back 2

Habituation

Front 3

"give me a dozen healthy infants...." He claims that he can nurture them into becoming any type of person.

Back 3

John Watson, 1924

Front 4

A learned preference for stimuli to which we have been previously exposed

Back 4

Mere exposure effect

Front 5

Forms of learning such as classical conditioning and opparent conditioning that can be described in terms of stimuli and responses

Back 5

Behavioral learning

Front 6

form of behavioral learning in which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the power ti elicit the same innate reflex produced by another stimulus.

Back 6

Classical conditioning

Front 7

Any stimulus that produces no conditioned response prior to learning

Back 7

Neutral stimulus

Front 8

Elicits unconditioned response without prior learning

Back 8

Unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

Front 9

Response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus without prior learning

Back 9

Unconditioned response (UCR)

Front 10

Initial learning stage in CC, during which the CR comes to be elicited by the CS

Back 10

Acquisition

Front 11

A previously neutral stimulus that comes to elicit the conditioned response.

Back 11

Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

Front 12

The response elicited by the CS

Back 12

Conditioned response (CR)

Front 13

The weakening of a conditioned response in the absence of an unconditioned stimulus.

Back 13

Extinction

Front 14

The reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after a period of time.

Back 14

Spontaneous Recovery

Front 15

The extinction of a learned response to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus.

Back 15

Stimulus generalization

Front 16

Learning to respond to a particular stimulus but not similar stimuli

Back 16

Stimulus discrimination

Front 17

A pattern of erratic behavior resulting from a demanding discrimination learning task, typically involving aversive stimuli

Back 17

Experimental neurosis

Front 18

A from of behavioral learning in which the probability of the response is changed by the consequence.

Back 18

Operant Conditioning

Front 19

responses that produced desirable results will be learned of "stamped" into the organism

Back 19

Law of effect

Front 20

involves either the presentation or removal of the stimulus, occurring after a response and strengthens the response

Back 20

Reinforcer
