learning
|
a relativly permanent change in an organism's behavior do to experience
|
|
associative learning
|
learning that certain even occur together. the events may be two stimuli (classical) or a response and its consequences (operant)
|
|
classical conditioning
|
an organism comes to associate stimuli. A neutral stimulus that signals an unconditioned stimulus begins to produce a response that anticipates and prepares for the unconditional stimulus
|
|
unconditioned response (UCR)
|
the unlearned, naturally occuring response to the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
|
|
conditioned response (CR)
|
previously neutral conditioned stimulus (CS)
|
|
conditioned stimulus (CS)
|
an origionally occuring irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR)
|
|
unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
|
what the primary goal is
|
|
extinction
|
the diminishing of a conditioned response. Response leaves when association leaves
|
|
spontaneous recovery
|
the reappearance after a rest period, of an extinguished conditional response
|
|
stimulus generalization
|
generalize that association
|
|
stimulus discrimination
|
recognizing that not everything is one generalization
|
|
operant conditioning
|
responses are controlled by its consequence
|
|
shaping
|
reinforcers guide behavior toward closer approximations of a desired goal
|
|
parietal reinforcement
|
doing something because someone or something else is telling you or reward
|
|
intrinsic motivation
|
doing something because you want to, like it
|
|
extrinsic motivation
|
doing something because you are told to or you are getting a reward
|
|
modeling
|
the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior
|
|
flashbulb memory
|
a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event
|
|
encoding
|
the process of informantion into the memory system, for example by extracting meaning
|
|
storage
|
the retention of encoded information over time
|
|
retrieval
|
the process of getting information out of memory storage
|
|
sensory memory
|
the immediate, initial recording of sensory information in the memory system
|
|
short-term memory
|
active memory that holds a few items briefly before the information is stored or forgotten working memory is similar because it focuses more on the processing of briefly stored information
|
|
long-term memory
|
the relativly permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system
|
|
mneumonics
|
memory aids especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices
|
|
chunking
|
organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automantically. Magic 7
|
|
amnesia
|
the loss of memory. antrograde-forget what happens after event
retrograde- forget what happens before event |
|
hippocampus
|
a neural center located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage
|
|
implicit memory
|
retention independant of concious recollection. also called proceedural memory
|
|
explicit memory
|
memory of facts and experiences that one can conciously know and 'declare' also called declarative memory
|
|
recall
|
a measure of memory in ehich the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test
|
|
recognition
|
a measure of memory in which a person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test
|
|
source amnesia
|
attributing to the wrong source an event that we have experienced, heard about, read about, or imagined.
