13 Cards in this Set

- Back
|
associative learning |
reinforcement required (operant/classical) |
|
|
habituation |
decreased response to stimulus over time (ie- ive heard this song a million times) |
|
|
Long term potentiation |
synapses become stronger the more frequently signals are passed between two neurons (improves w/ rehearsal and practice) |
|
|
Aquisition |
response is first established, CS/US first paired and presented together, continues until CS creates CR |
|
|
extinction |
CR decreases or disappears when CS no longer paired with US |
|
|
trace conditioning |
CS then US |
|
|
delay conditioning |
Present the CS (Bell) first and while the bell is still ringing give the UCS (food). This is the fastest way to get acquisition. |
|
|
backward conditioning |
US then CS |
|
|
negative reinforcement |
Taking something negative away in order to increase a response. EX: Imagine a teenager who is nagged by his mother to take out the garbage week after week. After complaining to his friends about the nagging, he finally one day performs the task and to his amazement, the nagging stops. |
|
|
Negative punishment |
punishment by removal, taking away something good to discourage behavior |
|
|
positive reinforcement |
rewarding to increase behavior (giving treat to rat every time it hits lever) |
|
|
positive punishment |
presenting an unfavorable outcome or event following an undesirable behavior (detention for being late to class) |
|
|
Latent learning |
Learning with no obvious reinforcement (learning route to school by sitting in bus) |
