Types Of Learning Chapter 7

Front 1

Learning

Back 1

A relatively perminent change in behavior that occurs through experience

Front 2

associative learning

Back 2

in which a connection is made between 2 events.

Front 3

Classical conditions

Back 3

learning by which a neutral stimulus becoms associated with a meaningful stimulus and aquires the compacity to efflict a simular response

Front 4

Unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

Back 4

A stimuls that produces a respose with out prior learning

Front 5

Unconditioned response (UCR)

Back 5

An unlearned response that is automatically elicited by the UCS

Front 6

Conditioned stimulus (CS)

Back 6

A previously neutral stimulus that eventually elicts the conditioned response after being associated with the unconditioned stimulus

Front 7

Conditioned response (CR)

Back 7

The learned response to the conditioned stimulus that occurs after the CS-UCS pairing

Front 8

Aquisition(In classical conditioning)

Back 8

The inital learning of the stimulus-response link, which involves a neutral response link, which involves a neutral stimula being assoxiated with a UCS and becoming a conditioned stimulus (CS) that elicits the CR.

Front 9

Generalization (In classical conditioning)

Back 9

The tendency of a new stimuls that is similar to the original stimuls to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response

Front 10

Discrimination(In classical conditioning)

Back 10

The process of learning to respond to certain stimuli and not to others

Front 11

Extinction(in classical conditioning)

Back 11

The weakening of the conditioned response in the absence of the unconditioned stimulus.

Front 12

Spontaneous recovery

Back 12

The process in classical conditioning by which a conditioned response can recur after a time delay without further conditioning

Front 13

Counterconditioning

Back 13

A classical condition procedure for wekening a CR by associationg the fear-provoking stimulus with a new response that is incompatible with the fear

Front 14

Operant conditioning

Back 14

Also called instrumental conditioning, a form of learning in which the consequences of behavior change the probability of the behaviors occurrence

Front 15

Law of effect

Back 15

Thorndikes concet that behaviors followed by positive outcomes are strangthened, whereas behaciors followed by negative outcomes are weakened.

Front 26

shaping

Back 26

the process of rewarding approximations of desired behavior

Front 27

reinforcement

Back 27

the process by which a stimulus or event strenghtens or increases the probability of an event that follows it

Front 28

positive reinforcement

Back 28

the frequency of a behavior increased because it is followed by a rewarding stimulus

Front 29

negative reinforcement

Back 29

the frequency of a behavior increases becuase it is followed by the removeal of an average aversive (unpleasant) stimulus.

Front 30

Primary reinforcement

Back 30

the use of reinforcers that are innately satisfying

Front 31

Conditioned stimulus (CS)

Back 31

A previously neutral stimulus that eventually elicts the conditioned response after being associated with the unconditioned stimulus

Front 32

Conditioned response (CR)

Back 32

Front 33

Aquisition(In classical conditioning)

Back 33

The inital learning of the stimulus-response link, which involves a neutral response link, which involves a neutral stimula being assoxiated with a UCS and becoming a conditioned stimulus (CS) that elicits the CR.

Front 34

Generalization (In classical conditioning)

Back 34

Front 47

extinction (In operant conditioning)

Back 47
