Psy 3

Front 1

Insight Learning

Back 1

A form of problem solving in which the organism developes a sudden insight ito or understanding of a problems solution.

Front 2

Levels of processing: Deep, Shallow, Intermediate

Back 2

Continuum of memory processing from shallown to intermidate to deep, with deeper processing producing better memory.

Front 3

Shallow intermediate Deep

Back 3

Physical and perceptual features are analyzed

Stimulus is recognized and labeled.

Semantic, meaningful,symbolic characteristics are used.

Front 4

Elaboration

Back 4

Formation of a number of different connections around a stimulus at any given level of memory encoding.

Front 5

Mental imagery

Back 5

The thoughts, feelings and motives that each of us experiences privately but that cannot be observed directly.

Front 6

Storage systems

Back 6

encompasses how info is retained over time and how it is represented in memory.

Front 7

sensory

Back 7

Memory system involves holding info from the world in its original sensory form for only an instant, not much longer that the brief time it is exposed to the visual, auditory and other senses.

Front 8

Chuncky

Back 8

Chunking involves grouping or "packing" info that exceeds the 7+-2 memory span into higher unit remembered into a single unit.

Rehersal unit of info (short term memory).

Front 9

Priming

Back 9

activation of info that people already have in storage to help them remeber new info better and faster.

Front 10

How memory is organized

Back 10

Through schemas and connectionist networks.

Front 11

Self-refernces

Back 11

Relating material to your own experience.

Front 12

Organization

Back 12

Review course notes routinely and catch potentail errors.

Front 13

Overlearning

Back 13

learning to perform a task so well that it becomes automatic

Front 14

Discimination

Back 14

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

Front 15

Aversive conditioning

Back 15

Form of treatment that consists of repeated pairing of a stimulus with a very unpleasant stimulus.

Front 16

Counter conditioning.

Back 16

A classical conditioning procedure for changing the relationship between a conditioned stimulus and its conditioned response.

Front 17

Schedules of reinforcement

Back 17

Specific patterns that determine when a behavior will be reinforced.

Front 18

short term memory

Back 18

Limiter capacity memory system in which info is usually retained for only as long as 30 seconds unless the individual uses strategies to retain it longer

Front 19

Working memory

Back 19

combination of components, including short term memory and attention that allow individuals to hold info temporarily as they perform cognitive tasks; a kind of mental work bench on which the brain manipulates and assembles info to guide understanding, descision making, and problem solving.

Front 20

Long term memory

Back 20

Relatively permnent type of memory that stores huge amounts of info for a long time.

Front 21

Banduras bobo doll experiment

Back 21

Test children on if they copy what they see. If a adult hits a doll and child hits a doll.

Front 22

Latent Learning

Back 22

Occurs without any obvious reinforcement of the behavior or associations that are learned.

Front 23

Health and Wellness

Back 23

Health: state of being free from illness or injury

Wellness: State or condition or being in good physical and mental health.

Front 24

Components

Back 24

Part or element of a larger whole, espically a part of machine or vehicle.

Front 25

Visual imaginary

Back 25

existing only in imagination or fantasy.

Front 26

Massed Practice

Back 26

Mass practice; he amount of rest between trails is short relative in trail length.

Front 27

Spaced (distributed) practice

Back 27

Learning stratgie where practice is broken up into a number of short session- over a long period of time.

Front 28

Taste aversion

Back 28

After one associated between sickness and a certain food, the food may thereafter elicit the response.

Front 29

Continuous reinforcement

Back 29

When reinforcement is delivered after every single target behavior where as an intermittent schedule of reinforcement.

Front 30

Partial Reinforcement

Back 30

Variable ratio schedule produces both the highest rate of responding and the greatest resistance to extinction.
