Mini Chap Seven

Question 1

Habituation

Answer 1

Respond less strongly over time to repeated stimulus

Question 2

Sensitization

Answer 2

Increased behaviour from repeated stimulus

Question 3

Classical conditioning

Answer 3

Animals respond to previously neutral stimulus paired with another stimulus
-automatic response

Question 4

Operant conditioning

Answer 4

Controlled by consequences of organisms behaviour

Question 5

UCS

Answer 5

Stimulus that elicits automatic response without prior conditioning

Question 6

UCR

Answer 6

Automatic response to non neutral that does not need to be learned

Question 7

NS

Answer 7

Does not naturally elicit a response

Question 8

CR

Answer 8

Response elicited by CS

Question 9

CS

Answer 9

Previously neutral
-now elicits a response when paired with UCS

Question 10

Acquisition

Answer 10

Learning phase with established conditioned response

Question 11

Extinction

Answer 11

Reduction and elimination of CR after CS presented repeatitively without a UCS

Question 12

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 12

Reemergence of extinct conditioned response following extinction procedure

Question 13

stimulus generalization

Answer 13

CS are similar but not identical to original CS that elicit CR

Question 14

Stimulus discrimination

Answer 14

Display less pronounced CR to CS that differ from original CS

Question 15

Higher order conditioning

Answer 15

Develop CR to CS by association with another CS

Question 16

Renewal effect

Answer 16

Sudden re emergence of CR following extinction when returned to environment where CR was acquired

Question 17

Thorndike law of effect

Answer 17

Cats try escaping box and faster they get out faster they get food

-higher chance of having behaviour with a reward or reinforcement

Question 18

BF Skinner box

Answer 18

Allow periods of conditioning to be administered and behaviours recorded unsupervised

-first exposed to stimulus then response, then response is reinforced

Question 19

Discriminative stimulus

Answer 19

Stimulus associated with prescience of reinforcement

Question 20

Fixed ratio

Answer 20

Provide reinforcement following regular number of responses

Question 21

Variable interval

Answer 21

Provide reinforcement at least once during average random time interval

Question 22

Fixed interval

Answer 22

Provide reinforcement for a response at least once following specific time period

Question 23

Variable ratio

Answer 23

Provide reinforcement after specific number of responses on average/random

Question 24

Premack principle

Answer 24

Reinforce lower probable behaviour using opportunity to engage in higher probability behaviour

Question 25

Secondary reinforces

Answer 25

Neutral object that becomes assosciated with primary reinforcer

Question 26

Latent learning

Answer 26

Is not directly observable

Question 27

Mirror neurons

Answer 27

Perform and observe action allows neuron to be activated

Question 28

Insight learning

Answer 28

Grasp underlying nature of problem

Question 29

Instinctive drift

Answer 29

Return to innate behaviour following repeated reinforcement

Question 30

Learning styles

Answer 30

Preferred method of acquiring new infor

Question 31

Latent inhibition

Answer 31

Difficulty establishing CC to CS we repetitively experience without having a UCS

Question 32

Law of effect

Answer 32

If stimulus is followed by behaviour and reward the stimulus is more likely to have behaviour in future
