5 MAJOR CONDITIONING PROCESSES?
Acquisition,Extinction,Sponteneous Recovery,Stimulus Generalization, + Discrimination
Acquisition ?
initial stage of learning when a response is first established and gradually strengthened.
Extinction ?
when the occurrences of a conditioned response decrease or disappear. In classical conditioning, this happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Spontaneous Recovery ?
the reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened response. If the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are no longer associated, extinction will occur very rapidly after a spontaneous recovery.
Stimulus Generalization ?
the tendency for the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar responses after the response has been conditioned.
Stimulus Discrimination ?
the ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that have not been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
3 major types of learning ?
classical,operant, and observational learning .
Thorn dike's Law of Effect ?
Rewarded behavior is likely to occur.
Operant conditioning (SHAPING)is based off what ?
thorn dikes law of effect.
Principles of reinforcement ?
POSITIVE (presenting something desirable,strengthening) vs. NEGATIVE (strengthens response by reducing/removing something averse)
PRIMARY(satisfies biological need ex: food for hunger) vs SECONDARY(gains power when paired with primary reinforcement ex: $)
IMMEDIATE(typically superior to delayed reinforcement because it forms a stronger relationship between stimulus and response) vs DELAYED(ex:grades,paychecks)
CONTINUOUS REINFORCEMENT ?
OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME,LEARNING OCCURS QUICKLY,EXTINCTION OF INFO. DOES TOO
PARTIAL REINFORCEMENT ?
SOMETIMES REINFORCED,SOMETIMES NOT REINFORCED. LEARNING OCCURS SLOWLY MORE RESISTANT TO EXTINCTION)
4 TYPES OF PARTIAL REINFORCEMENT ?
FIXED-RATIO :REINFORCE BEHAVIOR AFTER SET # OF RESPONSES EXAMPLE-BUY 6 GET 7 FREE
VARIABLE-RATIO : REINFORCE AFTER UNKNOWN # OF RESPONSES
FIXED INTERVAL : FIRST RESPONSE AFTER FIXED TIME PERIOD EXAMPLE- PAYCHECKS
VARIABLE-INTERVAL : VARIED TIME FRAME,REINFORCE AFTER
INTERVAL = TIME
RATIO = # OF RESPONSES
FIXED = UNCHANGING
VARIABLE = CHANGING
PUNISHMENT ?
DECREASES STRENGTH OF RESPONSE

FACTORS THAT AFFECT MEMORY RETRIEVAL ?
INTERFERENCE
PROACTIVE (early learning disrupts later learning) VS. RETROACTIVE(new info. makes it more difficult to remember old info.)
MOTIVATED FORGETTING(trying to move memory away)
DECAY THEORY
ENCODING FAILURE (info. not encoded properly)
AND EBBINGHAUS' FORGETTING CURVE (rapid forgetting of info. over time)
MISINFORMATION EFFECT ?
The misinformation effect occurs when people’s recollections of events are distorted by information given to them after the event occurred. The psychologist Elizabeth Loftus did influential research on the misinformation effect that showed that memory reconstructions can affect eyewitness testimony.

Example: A bank robber enters a crowded bank in the middle of the day, brandishing a gun. He shoots out the security cameras and terrifies everyone. He is taking money from a teller when one of two security guards approaches the robber, draws his own weapon, and shoots. Suddenly, another shot is fired from a different direction and the security guard falls to the ground, shot. Some of the customers see that the other security guard, who was approaching the robber from the other side, mistakenly shot his partner. Later, police ask the witnesses when the robber shot the guard, and they report that he shot after the guard fired on him. Even though they saw one guard shoot the other, they are
CONTEXTUAL EFFECTS OF MEMORY ?
is a method of memory enhancement which uses visualization to organize and recall information.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS ?

JET LAG/SHIFT WORK/DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS ?

JET LAG/SHIFT WORK/DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in an organism’s environment.

HIGHEST ALERT = 9 AM + 9PM
HIGHEST TEMP. = 4PM
LOWEST TEMP. = 4AM

Circadian rhythms can influence sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, body temperature and other important bodily functions.

Circadian rhythms are important in determining human sleep patterns. The body’s master clock, or SCN, controls the production of melatonin, a hormone that makes you sleepy.
