Intro to Learning (4)

Question 1

What is higher order conditioning?

Answer 1

Classical conditioning occurs on a new UCS that will be paired with the current CS

Question 2

What is sensory preconditioning?

Answer 2

CR occurs to another stimulus that is already associated to the current CS

Question 3

What is latent learning?

Answer 3

Learning that occurs despite lack of an observable demonstration.

Question 4

What is overshadowing?

Answer 4

one of the stimuli in a compound is more salient than the other and becomes more likely to be condtitioned

Question 5

What is latent inhibition?

Answer 5

familiar stimulus is less likely to be conditioned.

Question 6

What does the rescorla wagner model state?

Answer 6

each US can only have a certain limit of conditioning, associative value has to be distributed.

Question 7

What is blocking?

Answer 7

presence of an established CS prevents conditioning of a new NS

Question 8

According to the rescorla wagner model, what happens in overshadowing?

Answer 8

when one stimulus is more noticeable than the other, it takes a higher associative value meaning the other stimulus is not conditioned.

Question 9

According to the rescorla wagner model, what happens in blocking?

Answer 9

If one stimulus is already conditioned, it has taken all the associative value leaving nothing for a new stimulus.

Question 10

According to the rescorla wagner model, what occurs in a learning curve?

Answer 10

Even after conditioning, at some point the strength of conditioning reaches a max point, where the associative value can go no higher.
