|
classical conditionning |
learning that occurs when 2 stimuli (a conditioned one and unconditioned one) are paired and become associated with eachother |
|
|
neutral stimulis |
stimulis that before conditionning does not elicit a particular response |
|
|
uncoditionned stimulus |
stimulus that automatically produces a response without any previous training |
|
|
conditioned stimulus |
neutral stimulis that acquires the ability to elicit a coondtioned respons after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus |
|
|
unconditionned response |
reaction that is automatically produced when an undonditioned stimulis is presented |
|
|
conditioned response |
response elicited by a conditionned stumulis that has been paired with an undoncditionned stimulus |
|
|
spontaneous recovery |
reappearance of an extinguished CR after the passage of time |
|
|
generalization |
occurence of responses to stimuli that are similar to a CS |
|
|
discrimination |
occurence of responses only to a specific CS |
|
|
blocking |
situation in which the conditionability of a CS is weakened when it is paired with a UCS that has previously been paired with another CS |
|
|
taste-aversion learning |
development of a dislike of or aversion to a flavour or food that has been paired with illness |
|
|
operant condiotioning |
learning that occurs when the participant must make a response to produce a change in the environment |
|
|
law of effect |
Thorndike's view that reinforcers promote learning; whereas punishers lead to the unlearning of responses |
|
|
reinforcer |
event or stimulus that increases the frequency of the response that it follows |
|
|
positive reinforcer |
event or stimulus presented after the traget response that increases the likelihood that this response will occur again |
