learning
|
changes in behaviour resulting from animal’s interactions with enviro
|
|
learning characteristics
|
specific to event, adaptive, lasting, involve NS changes
|
|
recall
|
expression of responses as a result of learning
|
|
memory
|
changes to NS by which info is stored in learning
|
|
non-associative learning
|
animal exposed repeatedly to stimulus, behaviour changes
|
|
sensitization
|
repeated exposure to stimulus to increase response
|
|
associative learning
|
animal exposed to 2+ stimuli that are related, response to 1 stimulus altered by exposure to 2nd
|
|
types of associative learning
|
classical, instrumental, passive avoidance
|
|
complex learning
|
insight, reasoning, latent learning
|
|
latent learning
|
putting 2 separate experiences together is if they had been instrumentally conditioned
|
|
habituation
|
waning of response to repeated stimulus
|
|
spontaneous recovery
|
reversal of habituation following a rest period
|
|
dishabituation
|
recover response strength due to strong novel stimulus
|
|
extinction
|
disruption of learned association
|
|
classical conditioning
|
existing behaviour is elicited by new stimulus, is physiological response
|
|
classical conditioning components
|
UCS, UCR, NS (neural stimulus), NS -> CS, UCR -> CR
|
|
instrumental learning
|
learning from results of actions, animal can behave spontaneously
|
|
operant
|
behaviour experimenter wishes to alter
|
|
shaping
|
stepwise additions of instrumental learning that can lead to complex sequences
|
|
Skinner
|
operant conditioning
|
|
passive avoidance learning
|
taste aversion, only requires 1 exposure
|
|
ecological constraints on learning
|
they exist
|
|
punishment
|
behaviour decreases in response to stimulus
|
|
reinforcement
|
behaviour increases in response to stimulus
|
|
positive outcome
|
something presented
|
|
negative outcome
|
something removed
|
|
positive reinforcement
|
very effective
|
|
positive punishment
|
unsuccessful
|
|
negative punishment
|
successful if animal has a warning
|
|
reinforcement schedules
|
work harder when reinforcements are fewer and more unpredictable (continuous, FI, VI, FR, VR)
|
|
cognition
|
characteristics of certain types of brain processes that lie between sensory and execution
|
|
indicators of emotions
|
arousal, valence
|
|
emotional arousal
|
emotional intensity (HPA, HR, behavioural response)
|
|
emotional valence
|
whether emotional state is positive or negative
|
|
cognitive bias
|
cognitive processes influenced by individual's emotional state, optimistic or pessimistic
|
|
judgement bias tasks
|
measure cognitive bias, use ambiguous stimuli
|
