Learning

Front 1

classical conditioning

Back 1

organism comes to associate/anticipate events

Front 2

uncoditioned stimlulus

Back 2

elicits response before conditioning

Front 3

unconditioned response

Back 3

unlearned response to UCS

Front 4

conditioned stimulus

Back 4

elicits a conditioned response due to the pairing with a repetative stimulus that already causes a response

Front 5

conditioned response

Back 5

learned response to CS

Front 6

generalization

Back 6

CR to be evoked by similar stimuli

Front 7

discrimination

Back 7

distinguish between stimuli and similar stimuli

Front 8

high order conditioning

Back 8

previously neutral stimulus comes to elicit the response brought forth by CS by being paired with that CS

Front 9

biologically preparedness

Back 9

readiness to acquire a certain kind of CR due to biological make up of orgnaism

Front 10

counterconditioning

Back 10

pleasant stimuli with fear evoking stimuli

Front 11

flooding

Back 11

fear exposed until fear lost

Front 12

systematic desensitization

Back 12

fear evoking stimuli present while subject is relaxed

Front 13

law of effect

Back 13

pleasant events(rewards) stamp in responses while unpleasant events(punishment) stamp out

Front 14

operant behavior

Back 14

behavior that operates/manipulates env.

Front 15

operant conditioning

Back 15

organism engage in certain behavior due to reinforcement

Front 16

positive reinforcer

Back 16

PRESENTED increases frequency of operant

Front 17

negative reinforcer

Back 17

REMOVED increases frequency of operant

Front 18

primary reinforcers

Back 18

biological makeup

Front 19

secondary reinforcers

Back 19

stimulus gains reinforcement value through association with established reinforces

Front 20

discriminative stimulus

Back 20

stimulus indicates reinforcement is avaibale

Front 21

fixed interval schedule

Back 21

fixed time between reinforcement

Front 22

variable interval schedule

Back 22

variable time between reinforcement

Front 23

fixed ratio schedule

Back 23

reinforment provided after a fixed number of correct responses

Front 24

variable ratio schedule

Back 24

reinforcement provided after a variable number of correct repsonses

Front 25

successive approximations

Back 25

behavior progressively closer to target point

Front 26

behavior modifications

Back 26

teach adaptive behavior and extinguish maladaptive behavior

Front 27

programmed learning

Back 27

breaks task into small tasks that are each reinforced and combined to form correct behavioral chain

Front 28

cognitive map

Back 28

metal rep of layout of env

Front 29

latent learning

Back 29

hidden/concealed learning

Front 30

observational learning

Back 30

form of cognitive learning in which observation is used

Front 31

model

Back 31

organism engaged in response that is imitated by others

Front 32

shaping

Back 32

procedure for teaching complex behaviors that t first reinforces approximations of target behavior

Front 33

partial reinforcement

Back 33

not every correct response is reinforced

Front 34

continuous reinforcement

Back 34

every correct response is reinforced

Front 35

time out

Back 35

removal of organism from situation in which reinforcement is shown when unwanted behavior is shown

Front 36

conditioned reinforcer

Back 36

secondary reinforcer

Front 37

reinforcement

Back 37

follow a response with a stimulus that increases frequency of response

Front 38

spontaneous recovery

Back 38

recurrence of extinguished response over time

Front 39

extinction

Back 39

stimuli lose ability to evoke response

Front 40

learning

Back 40

permanent change in behavior due to experience
