Question 1

What are the three types of learning?

Answer 1

1.learning that an event occurs
2. Learning that two events are related
3.Learning that behavior produces outside events

Question 2

What is leanring?

Answer 2

relatively permanent change in an organism’s behavior due to experience

Question 3

What are the three subcategories that an event occurs?

Answer 3

Habituation-tested by startle reflex
Discrimination
Generalization

Question 4

Classical condition falls under?

Answer 4

Learning that two events are related

Question 5

unconditioned stimulus

Answer 5

Unconditioned stimulus(UCS)-stimulus produces natural (no prior training) responses(instinctive) Ex:Food

Question 6

unconditioned response

Answer 6

Unconditioned response(UCR)- unlearned/automatic response to UCS Ex:salivation

Question 7

conditioned stimulus

Answer 7

Conditioned Stimulus(CS)- stimulus has learned to be associated with unconditioned response

Question 8

conditioned response

Answer 8

Conditioned Response(CR)- learned response to previously neutral conditioned stimulus EX: salivating

Question 9

Does timing matter in paired sitmuli?

Answer 9

TIMING MATTERS(RELIABLE INDICATOR)/NOT ALL STIMULI PAIRED(RELEVANCE)

Question 10

Explain these terms in classicla conditioning:
a)Discrimination and Generalization
b) Extinction
c) Spontaneous Recovery
d)taste aversion

Answer 10

1. Discrimination and Generalization
   2.Extinction(CS presented without UCS)
2. Spontaneous Recovery
   Taste Aversion(1 trial/timing/ ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR) Ex: Rats

Question 11

operant conditioning (Skinner)
falls under?

Answer 11

Learning that behavior produces outside events,skinner, explains how we acquire/maintain voluntary behaviors by manipulating the consequences of that response.

Question 12

continours reinforcement

Answer 12

Continuous Reinforcement- behavior reinforced each time it occurs

Question 13

Partial(Intermittent) reinforcement-

Answer 13

Partial(Intermittent) reinforcement- reinforcing a response only part of the time,greater resistance to extinction, results in slower acquisition(4 kinds)
MATTERS: HOW QUICKLY YOU RESPOND/HOW HARD IT EXTINGUISH

Question 14

partial reinforcemnt

Answer 14

Fixed Ratio,varibale ratio,fixed interval, varibale interval

Question 15

fixed ratio

Answer 15

Fixed Ratio: behavior reinforced after a specified number of responses(consistent), faster you respond the more rewards

Question 16

varibale ratio

Answer 16

Variable Ratio: behavior is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses (HARD TO EXTINGUISH/PREDICTABILITY)

Question 17

fixed interval

Answer 17

Fixed interval ratio: behavior reinforced after specific amount of time has passed(pop quiz)

Question 18

variable interval

Answer 18

Definition: The behavior is reinforced after
an unpredictable amount of time has passed
ßproduces slow steady responding
ßlike preparing for a pop quiz
