Midterm 4 Chapter 6 Flashcards
Learning
Any relatively durable change in behaviour or knowledge that is due to experience
Conditioning
Learning associations between events
Classical conditioning
Stimulus acquires capacity to evoke el response that was congenially evoke d by another stimulus
Before conditioning
The unconditioned stimulus elicits the unconditioned response but the neutral stimulus does not
During conditioning
The neutral stimulus is paired with unconditioned stimulus
After conditioning
The neutral stimulus alone elicits the response; the neutral stimulus is now a continued stimulus and the response is to a Cr
Summary
An originally neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response that it did not previously elicit
Conditioned fear
Gs bridges to ucs which both go to CR fear UCR
Evaluative conditioning
Reuters to changes in the liking of a stimulus that results from pairing a stimulus with positive or negative stimuli
Trial
Paining Ucs and cs
Stimulus contiguity
Occurring together in time and space
Types of classical conditioning
Delayed, trace, simultaneous, backward
Extinction
Gradual weakening and disappecireance ot a Cr
Spontaneous recovery
Extinguished Cr returns after no exposure to cs
Renewal effect
Extinguished cb returns after return to od environment
Processes in classical conditioning
Discrimination, higher-order conditionings police officer example
Operant conditioning
Consequentialsroluntary responses, emit

Principle of reinforcement. Pleasant consequences increase probability that behaviour will be repeated
Reinforcement contingencies
Circumstances) rules that determine it response will receive a reinforcer
Primary reinforcers
Satisfy biological needs
Secondary reinforcers
Conditioned reinforcement
Continuous reinforcement
Fast acquisition and extinction
Intermittent reinforcement
Slow to extinction
