Lasting change in an organism's behavior potential that results from experience or practice.
|
Learning
|
|
The process whereby an organism learns relationships between stimuli.
|
Pavlovian Conditioning
|
|
Both the US and the CS are presented at the same time.
|
Simultaneous Conditioning
|
|
The CS is presented first, then it stops, then the US is presented
|
Trace Conditioning
|
|
There is an amount of time where the CS overlaps the US
(Can be long or short). |
Delayed Conditioning
|
|
US is presented first then stops and then the CS starts.
|
Backward Conditioning
|
|
One element of a compound stimulus elicits a CR while the other does not.
|
Overshadowing
|
|
Little or no conditioning to the second CS.
|
Blocking
|
|
CS and US occur close together in time or place.
|
Contiguity
|
|
Reduction of learned response that occurs because the CS is no longer paired with the US.
|
Extinction
|
|
Subject learns that the presence of the CS signals the PRESENCE of te US.
|
Excitatory Pavlovian Conditioning
|
|
Subject learns that the presence of the CS signals the ABSENCE of the US.
|
Inhibitory Pavlovian Conditioning
|
|
Tendency to respond to stimuli resembling the CS.
|
Generalization
|
|
Responding occurs in the presence of one stimulus, but not in the presence of another.
|
Discrimination
|
|
A procedure in which a previously conditioned stimulus is used to condition a new stimulus.
|
Higher-Order Conditioning
|
|
Interference with conditioning produced by repeated exposures to the US before the conditioning trials.
|
CS-Preexposure Effect
*Latent Inhibition* |
|
A food item has been paired with illness.
|
Conditioned Aversive Stimulus
|
|
Behavioral treatment that involves prolonged exposure to a feared stimulus.
|
Flooding
|
|
If a response is followed by a satisfying event, the association will be strengthened. If the response is followed by an annoying event, the association will be weakened.
|
Law Of Effect
|
|
Presentation of a stimulus increases the probability of the behavior.
|
Positive Reinforcement
|
|
Removal of a stimulus increases the probability of the behavior.
|
Negative Reinforcement
|
|
Presentation of a stimulus decreases the probability of the behavior.
|
Positive Punishment
|
|
Removal of a stimulus decreases the probability of the behavior.
|
Negative Punishment
|
|
High probability behaviors can be used as reinforcers for lower probability behaviors.
|
Premack Principle
|
|
Every occurance of the instrumental response results in the delivery of the reinforcer.
|
Continuous Reinforcement Schedule
|
|
A fixed # of responses must occur in order for the next response to be reinforced .
|
Fixed Ratio Schedule
|
|
# of responses necessary to produce reinforcement varies from trial to trial.
|
Variable Ratio Schedule
|
|
Reinforcer is delievered for the first response that occurs after a fixed amount of time following the last reinforcer.
|
Fixed Interval Schedule
|
|
Reinforcement is provided for the first response that occurs after a variable amount of time from the last reinforcement.
|
Variable Interval Schedule
|
|
The relative rate of responding on a particular response alternative equals the relative rate of reinforcement for that response alternative.
|
Matching Law
|
