Front 1

Classical conditioning

Back 1

Association of automatic responses with a new neutral stimulus

Front 2

Unconditoned stimulus (UCS)

Back 2

Stimulus that elicits automatic response

Front 3

Unconditioned response (UCR)

Back 3

Automatic Response to UCS

Front 4

Neutral stimulus (NS)

Back 4

Stimulus that elicits no response

Front 5

Conditioned stimulus (CS)

Back 5

Stimulus elicits response after conditioning

Front 6

Conditioned response (Cr)

Back 6

Learn response to previously NS

Front 7

Operant conditioning

Back 7

Form of learning in which consequences of behaviors produce changes in the probability of the behaviors being repeated

Front 8

Operant conditioning #2

Back 8

Learning in which voluntary behavior is strengthened or weakened by consequences

Hint 8

A desirable or aversive consequence is added or subtracted leading to an increase or decrease in the behavior

Front 9

Reinforcement

Back 9

Process in which consequence strengths behavior

Hint 9

Increases the probability that the behavior will be repeated

Front 10

Positive reinforcement

Back 10

Presentation of a desirable stimulus following a behavior that increases the probability that the behavior will be repeated

Front 11

Negative reinforcement

Back 11

Removeal of an aversive stimulus following a behavior that increases the probability that the behavior will be repeated

Front 12

Punishment

Back 12

Process in which consequences weakens behavior - decreases the probability that the behavior will be repeated

Front 13

Positive punishment

Back 13

Presentation of an aversive stimulus following a behavior that increases the probability that the behavior will be repeated

Front 14

Negative punishment (penalty)

Back 14

Remove all of a desirable stimulus following a behavior that decreases the probability you will be repeated

Front 15

Observational learning

Back 15

Learning by observing the behavior of other people

Front 16

Vicarious learning

Back 16

Likelihood of a behavior changes depends upon whether another is reinforced or punished for the behavior

Front 17

Back 17

Extinction- Repeatedly presenting CS without UCS CR stops

Front 18

Generalization

Back 18

Generalized response to familiar items (bell or food)

Front 19

Phobias

Back 19

Irrational fear

Front 20

Systematic desensitization

Back 20

Technique used to overcome a phobia

Front 21

Spontaneous recovery of CS

Back 21

Food aversion- contamination in food which makes you sick.....avoids that food in future

Front 22

Primary reinforcers

Back 22

Automatically rewarding or reinforcing

Front 23

Secondary Reinforcers

Back 23

A stimulus that gains it's reinforcing powers through its association with the primary reinforcer aka conditioned reinforcer

Front 24

Continuous reinforcement schedule

Back 24

Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs

Front 25

Intermittent reinforcement schedule

Back 25

Reinforcing response only part of the time; Results in slower acquisition of a response but much greater resistance to extinction then does continuous reinforcement

Front 26

Memory

Back 26

The persistence of learning over time thru the encoding, storage and retrieval of info

Front 27

Recall

Back 27

Measure of memory in which a person must retrieve info learned earlier

Front 28

Recognition

Back 28

A measure of memory in which the person must identifies items previously learned

Front 29

Encoding

Back 29

The processing of info into the memory system

Front 30

Parallel processing

Back 30

The processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously

Front 31

Sensory memory

Back 31

The immediate very brief recording of sensory info in memory system

Front 32

Explicit memory

Back 32

Memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare"

Front 33

Implicit memory

Back 33

Retention of learned skills or classically conditioned associations independent of conscious recollection aka nondeclarative memory

Front 34

Iconic memory

Back 34

A momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli, a photographic or picturre-image memory lasting a few tenths of a second

Front 35

Echoic memory

Back 35

A momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli

Front 36

Semantic memory

Back 36

Explicit memory of facts and general knowledge

Front 37

Episodic memory

Back 37

Explicit memory of personally experience events

Front 38

Procedural memory

Back 38

Memory of how to do things like ride a bike
