conditioning Flashcards
What is stimulis generalisation
it occurs when an individual responds to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus. For example, the dog that was conditioned to drool upon hearing a clicking noise may generalize that behaviour to similar sounds, such as tapping and beeping noises.
what is stimuli discrimination
The ability to distinguish between one stimulus and similar stimuli. When a child engages in the target behaviour of cleaning their room when a parent is present, but not engaging in the behaviour when the parent is not present.
What is extinction?
The gradual weakening of a conditioned response that results in the behaviour decreasing or disappearing. You taught your dog to shake hands. Over time, the trick became less interesting. You stop rewarding the behaviour and eventually stop asking your dog to shake. Eventually, the response becomes extinct, and your dog no longer displays the behaviour.
What is spontaneous recovery?
Spontaneous recovery is when a behaviour that is believed to be extinct unexpectedly and quickly returns after a period of rest or lessened response. If your dog stops noticing your trips to the pantry, they may stop associating your trips to the pantry with a lack of food, which is the inhibitory response that caused extinction in the first place.
What is the method of successive approximations (shaping)?
The process of reinforcing steps of desirable behaviours which are getting closer to the target behaviour.Susie’s parents introduced her to the toothbrush, allowing her to feel and explore it without any pressure. Positive Feedback: Each time Susie held the toothbrush, they praised her and celebrated this small achievement.
What is an example of classical conditioning with the code black song
UCS → unconditioned stimuli: a stimulus that leads to an automatic response
UR → unconditioned response: an automatic response to astimulus
NS → neutral stimulis: a stimulus that at first elicits no response
NR → neutral response: a stimulus that at first elicits no response
CS → conditioned stimulis: a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response
CR → conditioned response: a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus
what is operant conditioning?
controlled by consequence not experience
what is classical conditioning?
What are the for punishers and reinforces?
- negative = take away
- positve = give/ add
- reinforcement = encourage behaviour
- punisher = discourage behaviour
What is Pavlov’s Dog Experiment?
What is the Little Albert experiment?
What are the ABC’s of operant conditioning?
- A = Antecedent (environment)
- B = behavior
- C = consequence (reinforcment)
What is skinners rat experiment?
