What is learning? |
Change (in memory and behavior), enduring (not necessarily permanent), generally adaptive (helps us fit our environment) |
|
|
|
Maladaptive |
A trait that is more harmful then helpful. |
Opposite of adaptive |
|
|
Olfaction |
Sense of smell |
Works much like neurotransmitter |
|
|
Audition |
Sense of taste |
|
|
|
Color consistancy |
Uses cues around you to assume the color of something |
Black and blue dress |
|
|
Stimulis generalization |
Tendency to respond to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimuli |
One of six principles of classical conditioning |
|
|
Extinction |
Disappearance of a previously learned behavior |
|
|
|
Higher order conditioning |
Form of learning in which a stimulus is first made meaningful or consequential for an organism through step by step learning, and then using that to teach the organism to do similar learned behavior based on different stimulis |
|
|
|
Reconditioning |
When you condition a stimulus and stop and then recondition later, you will not be starting from scratch. |
|
|
|
Sponteous recovery |
Phenomenon of learning and memory which refers to re-emerging of an extinguished learned trait |
|
|
|
Stimulis discrimination |
Organism gets seperate stimulus and does not associate it with the learned trait. |
Opposite of stimulus generalization |
|
|
Thorndikes law of effect |
Behavior is determined by consequences |
Has to do with behavior |
|
|
Positive and negative reinforcement |
Giving a stimulus to reward positive behavior |
Giving a reward for good behavior |
|
|
Negative reinforcement |
Taking away a stimulus taking away a stimulus to inflict positive behavior |
Stopping an electric shock for good behavior |
|
|
Fixed ratio |
Reinforcement occurs after predetermined set of responses |
|
|
|
varied ratio |
Reinforcement occurs unpredictably. The ratio varies |
|
|
|
Latent learning |
No immediate expression of learned activity. Learned behavior occurs without any obvious reinforcement of the behavior or associations that are learned. |
|
|
|
Fovea |
Highest density of neurons |
|
