Module 28 Classical and Operant Conditioning Flashcards
biofeedback
a system for electronically recording, amplifying, and feeding back information regarding a subtle physiological state, such as blood pressure or muscle tension.
Basic Idea in classical Conditioning
Learning associations between events we do not control.
Basic idea in Operant Conditioning
Learning associations between our behavior and its consequences.
Response in classical conditioning
Involuntary, automatic.
Response in Operant Conditioning
Voluntary, operates on environment.
Acquisition in classical conditioning
Associating events; NS is paired with US and becomes CS.
Acquisition in operant Conditioning
Associating a response with a consequence (reinforcer or punisher).
Extinction in classical conditioning
CR decreases when CS is repeatedly presented alone.
Extinction in Operant Conditioning
Responding decreases when reinforcement stops.
Spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning
The reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished CR.
Spontaneous recovery Operant conditioning
The reappearance, after a rest period, of an extinguished response.
Generalization in classical conditioning
The tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the CS.
Generalization in Operant conditioning
Responses learned in one situation occurring in other, similar situations.
Discrimination in Classical Conditioning
Learning to distinguish between a CS and other stimuli that do not signal a US.
Discrimination in Operant Conditioning
Learning that some responses, but not others, will be reinforced
