Term
|
Definition
Decrease in the strength of response to a repeated stimulus
[simplest form of learning - allows you to attend to more important stimuli; to prevent Hawthorne Effect, subjects must habituate to the observer's presence] |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Learning associations between events |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Two stimuli are associated and one can trigger a response previously triggered by the other |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Associate their response with specific consequences |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Observers imitate behavior of model |
|
|
Term
Classical Conditioning Example 1
Two stimuli - a song and a pleasant event |
|
Definition
| the song elicits a pleasant feeling when before only that event made you happy |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| period during which a response is being learned |
|
|
Term
| Unconditioned Stimulus [UCS] |
|
Definition
| Elicits a reflexive or innate response |
|
|
Term
| Unconditioned Response [UCR] |
|
Definition
| Reflexive or innate response |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Each time the stimuli are paired |
|
|
Term
| Conditioned Stimulus [CS] |
|
Definition
| Through associated with a UCS, elicits a conditioned response similar to the UCR |
|
|
Term
| Conditioned Response [CR] |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Forward Short-Delay pairing |
|
Definition
| Conditioned Stimulus [CS] appears first and is still present when UCS appears |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CS appears then stops, then UCS appears |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
CS and UCS appear at the same time
[slower learning] |
|
|
Term
| Classical Conditioning Successful Criteria |
|
Definition
| Repeated CS-UCS pairing, an intense UCS, forward pairing, and a short [2-3 second] time interval between CS and UCS |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CS is presented repeatedly without UCS causing the CS to weaken and disappear |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Each CS without an UCS presentation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The reappearance of previously extinguished CR after a rest period and without new learning trials |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Stimuli similar to the initial CS elicit a CR
[critical adaptive function - you live and learn] |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Demonstrated when a CR occurs to one stimulus but not another |
|
|
Term
| Higher-order Conditioning |
|
Definition
| A neutral stimulus becomes a CS after being paired with a different CS |
|
|
Term
| Higher-order Conditioning Example 1 |
|
Definition
| Political Candidates try to associate themselves with CS's like babies and patriotism |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Patient is exposed to stimulus CS that scares them without the presence of a UCS, allowing extinction to occur |
|
|
Term
| Systematic Desensitization |
|
Definition
| Patient learns muscle relaxation techniques and is then gradually exposed to fear-provoking stimulus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Immediately expose patient to phobic stimulus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Condition an aversion (repulsion) to a stimulus that triggers unwanted behavior by pairing it with a noxious[harmful to health or physical well-being] UCS. |
|
|
Term
| Anticipatory Nausea and Vomiting [ANV] |
|
Definition
| Cancer patients become nauseated and vomit anywhere from minutes to hours before a treatment session |
|
