6 Flashcards
(42 cards)
reflexes
motor and neutral reaction to a specific stimulus in environmental.
instincts
innate behaviors that are triggered by a broader range of events. involves the movement of an organism as a whole.
learning
a permanent change in behavior through experience. occurs as a result of experience.
associative learning
occurs when an organism makes connection b/w stimuli and events. has classical and operant.
Pavlov conditioning
classical condition, organism learn to associate events and stimuli that repeatedly happen together.
unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
stimulus that elicits reflexive response in organism-food
uncondtioned reoonse (ucr)
natural (unlearned) reaction to given situation- salivation
netural stimuls (ns)
stimulus that doesn’t naturally elicit a response-tone
conditioned stimuls ( cs)
stimulus that elicts a response after repeatedly being paried with unconditioned stimulus-tone with food over and over
conditioned response ( cr)
behavior caused by cs
higher order conditioning
using a conditioned stimulus to condition a neutral stimulus
acquisition
initial period of learning, when organism learns to connect a neutral stimuls and uncondtioned stimulus.
taste aversion
condition pass b/w cs ( someting ingested) and unconditoned stimulus ( nausea, illness),
spontaneous recovery
return of extinguished conditioned response following a rest period
stimulus discrimination
ability to respond differntly to similar stimuli- discriminated b/w can opener, electrical mixer
stimulus generalization
when organism demonstrated conditioned response to stimuli that are similar to conditioned stimuls- electric mixer sounds similar to can opener, tiger run to kitchen
habituation
occurs when we learn not to respond to stimulus that is presented repeatedly w/o change.
john b watson
founder of behaviorsim
operant conditioning
expereince happens after behavior is demonstrated
skinner
classcial cond is liited to behavior and belived it is motivated by reinforcement and punishment
law of effect
behavior is followed by consequences satisfying to organism will be repeated behabiors
positivw
add something
negative
taking something away
reinforcement
increasing behavior
