Q

effectiveness of classical conditioning

A

impacted by:

temporal relationship bt CS and US
*delay conditioning is most efficient (presenting CS so that it precedes and overlaps with US)

number of conditioning trials - the greater the # of trials the stronger and more persistent CR; however, CR is usually weaker in intensity /magnitude than the UR

pre-exposure to the CS or US- slows down acquisition of the CR

Q

in vivo exposure with response prevention

A

exposed to real life anxiety arousing stimuli for prolonged period and prohibited from avoidance or anxiety-reducing response

prolonged (mass) exposure is better than brief exposures

self-directed exposure can be as effective as therapist directed

group = individual treatment; partner assisted works for agoraphobia and OCD

interoceptive exposure (evoking bodily sensations) works for panic

25
Thorndike
study of learning in lower animals would reveal important info about human learning placing hungry cats in puzzle boxes instrumental learning - learning is due to connection between response and stimuli as result of trial and error
26
law of effect
thorndike | response followed by satisfaction will be repeated neg outcomes have little or no effect
27
Skinner
complex behaviors are voluntarily emitted as result of the way they operate in the environment = operant conditioning
28
positive reinforcement
stimulus applied, behavior increases
29
negative reinforcement
stimulus applied, behavior decreases
30
negative reinforcement
stimulus removed, behavior increases
31
negative punishment
stimulus removed, behavior decreases
32
extinction burst
temporary increase in responding during extinction trials
33
behavioral contrast
when reinforced for 2 different behaviors and reinforcement for one behavior is withdrawn, the other behavior is likely to increase
34
generalized secondary reinforcer
secondary reinforcers - acquire value only through repeated association with primary reinforcers (tokens, applause, gold stars) when secondary reinforcer is paired with several different primary reinforcers (e.g., money)
35
continuous schedule
rate of acquisition of behavior is fastest - when reinforcement is presented after each response best way to maintain behavior is to switch to intermittent schedule
36
intermittent schedules of reinforcement
Fixed interval - reinforcement after fixed amount of time - low rates of responding variable interval - interval of time bt reinforcement is unpredictable -steady but low rate of responding fixed ratio - reinforcer is delivered each time the subject makes specific # of responses - high and steady rate of responding variable ratio - reinforcers are provided after a variable # of responses - highest rates of responding, most resistant to extinction (slot machine)
37
matching law
correspondence between responding to 2 or more alternatives and the frequency of reinforcement for responding is predicted by this law
38
stimulus control
presence of a behavior is affected by presence of discriminative stimuli e.g., of two factor learning
39
escape conditioning
maintained by negative reinforcement a behavior increases because its performance allows you to escape an undesirable stimulus
40
avoidance conditioning
two factor learning onset of negative reinforcer is preceded by a cue that signals the negative reinforcer is about to be applied - e.g., green light signals electric shock is coming
41
positive reinforcement
mostly used ``` contingency immediacy schedule of reinforcement magnitude verbal clarification prompts ```
42
thinning
reducing the proportion of reinforcements
43
satiation
up to a point, the greater the amount of positive reinforcement, the greater its effectiveness. past that point = satiation - reinforcer has lost its value
44
prompts
verbal/physical prompts facilitate acquisition of a new behavior when a prompt signals that the behavior will be reinforced = positive discriminative stimulus
45
fading
gradual removal of a prompt
46
shaping
reinforcing successive approximations to the desired behavior
47
chaining
establishment of behavior chain (baking a cake) whole chain is important
48
premack principle
high probability behavior is used to reinforce a low probability behavior e.g., if student studies while watching tv - tell student he can only watch tv after he studies
49
differential reinforcement
combines positive reinforcement with extinction - reinforcing alternative behaviors while ignoring target behavior
50
punishment
applying or withdrawing a stimulus following a behavior in order to decrease the behavior. influenced by: ``` immediacy consistency intensity verbal clarification removal of all positive reinforcement reinforcement for alternative behaviors ``` does not eliminate; only suppresses effects often short-term, inconsistent, and limited to the specific situation
51
overcorrection
form of positive punishment - applying penalty following an undesirable behavior restitution - correct negative bx positive practice - engage in more appropriate behaviors
52
response cost
negative punishment removing a reinforcer each time a target behavior is performed (token fines in token economy)
53
Time out
removing all sources of positive reinforcement for a brief time following a behavior in order t decrease the behavior short as effective as long most effective when combined with reinforcement for alternative behaviors
54
social skills training
improve communication, assertiveness, problem solving operant, classical conditioning and social learning theory schizophrenia, conduct problems, reducing depression when paired with multimodal tx
55
satiation
reinforcer has lost its reinforcing value | primary reinforcers more susceptible to this
56
primary reinforcers
inherently reinforcing (food, water)
57
Tolman
learning takes place without bing manifested in performance improvements (can be latent)
58
latent learning
3 groups of rats run a maze once a day for several weeks reinforcement is not necessary for learning
59
Kohler
influenced by gestalt psychology - role of internal cognitive processes learning can be result of insight (aha)
60
insight learning
Kohler reflects an internal cognitive restructuring of the environment that enhances ability to achieve goals
61
Observatioanl learning
Bandura - social learning theory and social cognitive theory most complex human behaviors are learned by observing another person; useful for teaching new behaviors and enhancing existing ones
62
guided participation
modeling is most effective when combined with guided participation participant modeling - having learner observe the model and the perform the behavior with assistance from the model live modeling superior to symboling modeling
63
self efficacy
person's beliefs about his ability to perform a behavior ``` primary source of motivation impacted by: 1) inactive attainment (prior success) 2) vicarious experiences 3)verbal persuasian 4) emotional and physiological states ```
64
learned helplessness model
applies to cognitive processes associated with depression give up any effort to control events
65
rational emotive behavior therapy
Ellis emotions and behaviors in terms of a chain of events - A-B-C emotional or behavioral response is d/t beliefs about that event rather than the event itself cause of neuroses: continual repetition of certain common irrational beliefs
66
Beck's cognitive therapy
CBT help clients identify and alter dysfunctional and distorted assumptions
67
schemas
underlying cognitive structures and rules that consist of core beliefs - revealed in automatic thoughts
68
automatic thoughts
surface level cognitions that intercede between an event or stimulus and emotional and behavioral reactions
69
cognitive distortions
arbitrary inference - drawing conclusions without evidence overgeneralization - drawing general conclusions on basis of a single event selective abstraction - attending to detail while ignoring the total context personalization - erroneously attributing external events to oneself dichotomous thinking - either/or ways emotional reasoning - believing things are certain because you feel a certain way
70
collaborative empiricism
developing a collaborative therapist-client relationship and gathering evidence to test hypotheses about clients beliefs and asumptions
71
socratic dialogue
guided discovery asking questions that are designed to help the client reach logical conclusions about a problem and its consequences
72
self-instructional training
originally for impulsive and hyperactive children 1) cognitive modeling 2) cognitive participant modeling 3) overt self instruction 4) fading 5) covert self instruction
73
stress inoculation
Michenbaum deal with stress by increasing coping skills cognitive preparation, skills acquisition and rehearsal application and follow through
74
Rehm's self control theory
brief therapy, usually group deficits in self control increase vulnerability to depression: 1) self monitoring - attend to neg events 2) self evaluation - inaccurate attributes about own bx 3) self reinforcement - low rates of self reward
75
Lewinsohn's behavioral model
depression to a low rate of response-contingent reinforcement d/t inadequate reinforcing stimuli in the environment and/or individual's lack of skills in obtaining reinforcement
76
biofeedback
based on operant conditioning tx of choice for: Raynaud's, urinary and fecal incontinence, migraine headaches relaxation = biofeedback for tension headaches, hypertension, general anxiety, insomnia, lower back pain
77
Information processing model
sensory memory (few sec), short-term memory, long-term memory
78
short term memory
STM holds a limited amount of information (30 sec) primary and working memory 5 and 9 (7+-2) units chunking - helps hold larger amounts of info in STM
79
long term memory
rehearsal - elaborative rehearsal - relating new information to existing information better than maintenance rehearsal - simply repeating info with little or no processing permanent
80
serial position effect
separate long and short term memory stores better at remembering the beginning (primacy effect) and end (recency effect); with delay - only primacy effect
81
levels of processing model
diff in memory are d/t diff in depths of processing rather than to separate memory stores structural, phonemic, and semantic processing semantic - deepest level of processing - focuses on meaning and is best for recall
82
procedural memory
stores information about how to do things - acquire, retain, employ motor and cognitive skills implicit - automatic - basal ganglia and cerebellum
83
declarative memory
mediates acquisition of facts and other information divided into semantic and episodic memory ``` semantic = general knowledge episodic = autobiographical ``` explicit - conscious recollection - hippocampus and frontal lobes
84
prospective memory
long term memory component responsible for capacity to remember to do things in the future older adults do worse in controlled settings but better in naturalistic settings
85
multi-component model
working memory consists of a central executive- primary component - directing attention to relevant info, coordinating 3 subsystems: phonological loop- temporarily storing auditory info visuo-spatial sketchpad- temporarily storing visuo-spatial info episodic buffer - temporarily integrates auditory, visual, and spatial info tasks that rely on central exec are most adversely impacted by old age (e.g., backward digit span)
86
trace decay theory
learning produces a trace or engram, which is a physiological change in the brain that decays over time d/t disuse forgetting is actually due more to interference than to decay of memory over time
87
interference theory
forgetting occurs when ability to recall certain info is affected by information acquired previously or subseqenty
88
retroactive interference
you want to recall something old, but something new gets in the way
89
proactive interference
you want to learn or recall something new, but something old gets in the way
90
state-dependent learning
recall of info is sometimes better when learner is in same emotional state during learning and recall
91
mnemonic devices
formal strategies for improving memory e.g., method of loci - visually associating items to be remembered with a series of places keyword method - imagery technique useful when two words must be linked
92
arousal and memory
moderate levels of arousal maximize the efficiency of learning and performance low and high levels - decreased efficiency
