|
Learning |
The process by which experience or practice results in a relatively permanent change in behavior or potential behavior |
|
|
Classical Conditioning is Also Known As |
pavlovian conditioning |
|
|
Classical Conditioning |
The type of learning in which a response naturally elicited by one stimulus comes to be elicited by a different, formerly neutral, stimulus |
|
|
Unconditioned Stimulus |
invariably causes an organism to respond in a specific way |
|
|
Unconditioned Response |
takes place in an organism whenever an unconditioned stimulus occurs |
|
|
Conditioned Stimulus |
Originally neutral. Paired with an unconditioned stimulus and eventually produces the desired response in an organism when presented alone |
|
|
Conditioned Response |
After conditioning, the response an organism produces when a conditioned stimulus is presented. |
|
|
Intermittent Pairing |
pairing the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus on only a portion of the learning trials |
|
|
Punishers |
stimuli that follows a behavior and decreases the likelihood that the behavior will be repeated |
|
|
Positive Reinforcers |
events whose presence increases the likelihood that that ongoing behavior will reoccur |
|
|
Negative Reinforcers |
Events whose reduction or termination increases the likelihood that that ongoing behavior will reoccur |
|
|
Punishment |
any event whose presence decreases the likelihood that that ongoing behavior will reoccur |
|
|
Blocking |
a process whereby prior to conditioning prevents conditioning to a second stimulus even when the two stimuli are presented simultaneously |
|
|
Extinction |
a decrease in the strength or frequency, or stopping, of a learned response because of failure to continue pairing the US and CS or withholding of reinforcement (operant conditioning.) |
|
|
Spontaneous Recovery |
The reappearance of an extinguished response after the passage of time, without training. |
|
|
Observational (or Vicarious) Learning |
learning by observing other people's behaviors. |
