learning
|
almost permanent change in behavior due to experience
|
|
associative learning
|
learning that certain events occur together.
|
|
behaviorism
|
the view that psychology
should be an objective science--correct study behavior and not mental processes |
|
classical conditioning
|
type of learning in which organism associates stimuli
UCS->UCR nuetral+UCS->UCR CS->CR |
|
unconditioned response
|
unlearned response to UCS (salivate when food is seen)
|
|
unconditioned stimulus
|
naturally triggers response
food triggers salivation |
|
conditioned response
|
learned response to nuetral stimulus
|
|
conditioned stimulus
|
previously neutral stimulus that now makes a response
|
|
acquisition
|
initial learning
classical conditioning- learn neutral stimulus makes response operant - strengthen reinforced response |
|
extinction
|
diminishing of conditioned response
|
|
spontaneous recovery
|
reappearnance of response
|
|
generalization
|
similar stimulus does same response
|
|
discrimination
|
ability to tell the difference between stimuli
|
|
operant conditioning
|
behavior strengthened by reinforcement or diminished by punishment
|
|
respondent behavior
|
automatic response for stimulus- salivating for food-skinner's term
|
|
operant behavior
|
behavior that operated on the environment
|
|
law of effect
|
behavior followed by favorable consequences- happen more likely
behavior followed by unfavorable consequences- happen less likely |
|
operant chamber
|
animal can manipulate bar to get food
|
|
shaping
|
reinforcers guide behavior closer and closer to goal
|
|
reinforcer
|
strengthens behavior
|
|
primary reinforcer
|
type of reinforcer
innately reinforces stimulus, like food |
|
conditioned reinforcer
|
type of reinforcer
reinforce through association money |
|
continuous reinforcement
|
reinforce response 100% of the time
|
|
partial reinforcement
|
reinforce part of the time
|
|
fixed-ratio schedule
|
reinforces specific number of times
|
|
variable-ratio schedule
|
reinforce random number of times
|
|
fixed-interval schedule
|
reinforce in specific amount of time
|
|
variable-interval schedule
|
reinforces in random amount of time
|
|
punishment
|
decreases behavior that it follows
|
|
cognitive map
|
mental representation of layout of environment
after seeing maze, rats go through it faster |
|
latent learning
|
learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it
like cognitive map |
|
overjustification effect
|
giving reward for what you like to do, makes you not want to do it
|
|
observational learning
|
learning by observing others
|
|
modeling
|
process of observing and imitating specific behavior
|
|
prosocial behavior
|
positive, constructive, helpful behavior
