Term
| What is the difference between orienting response and habituation? |
|
Definition
1) Orienting response is a shift of attention to a new stimuli
2) Habituation is the adaptation to constant stimuli |

Term
| What is the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning? |

Definition
1) This is learning by associating a neutral stimulus to a natural stimulus. Pavalov's Dogs
2) This is learning by changing the consequences of a behavior. |
|
|
Term
What is:
1)UCR
2)UCS
3)CS
4)CR |
|
Definition
1)Unconditioned response- inborn reaction to stimulus
2) Unconditioned Stimulus-always produces an unlearned response
3) Conditioned Stimulus-previously neutral stimulus
4) Conditioned response- behavior learned when presented with CS |
|
|
Term
What is
1) Stimulus Discrimination
2) Stimulus generalization
3) Extinction
4) Spontanious recovery |
|
Definition
1) CR is directly influenced by a specific CS
2) Association between UCS and CS to include similar stimuli
3) a weakening or disappeance of CR
4) sudden reappearance of extinguished response |

|
Term
| What are primary reinforcers of operant conditioning? What is the difference between positive and negative reinforcement? |
|
Definition
Def. Unlearned reinforcers that satisfy biological needs.
The addition of a stimulus to increase frequency of behavior verses a removal of a stimulus to increase frequency of a behavior.
|
|
|
Term
| What is punishment? What is the difference between positive and negative punishment? |
|
Definition
Def. Stimulus presented after a behavior that decreases the frequency.
The addition of a stimulus that decreases a behavior vs. the removal of a stimulus. |

Definition
| Def. The operant conditioning tool for small animals. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Ex. of def. Teaching a dog to keep a treat on his nose. Takes several steps of learning to reach target objective. |
|
|
Term
| What is the difference between continuous and intermittent reinforcement? |
|
Definition
| Def. Reinforcement given after every behavior vs. Reinforcement given randomly after a behavior. |
|
|
Term
| Wat is the difference between a ratio schedule and an interval schedule? |
|
Definition
1) Whether fixed or variable, this is the number of incidences between reinforcement.
2) Whether fixed or variable, this is the time between reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
| What is the biological constraint model? |
|
Definition
| Def. All species do not learn the same. It relates to instinctive drift which drives learning with unlearned behaviors. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Def. Learning that occurs in the absence of reinforcement, it shows itself in the future with reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
| What is the social learning theory? What are the two subtypes of this theory? (Hint: ol and m) |
|
Definition
Def. A description of the kind of learning that occurs when we imitate others.
1) Observational learning- Learning by watching
2) Modeling- Learning by imitating |
|
|
Term
| What is enactive learning? |
|
Definition
| Def. Learning by doing rather than observing. |
|
|
Term
| What does ethology teach us about imprinting? |
|
Definition
| Ethology, or the study of animals, teaches us that animals rapidly learn from their initial caregiver after birth. We call this imprinting. |
