Psychology Chapter 5 study notes

is any relatively permanent change in behavior brought about my experience or practice.

learning to make an involuntary (reflex) response to a stimulus other than the original, natural stimulus that normally procues the reflex.

an involuntary (reflex) response to a naturally occurring or unconditionaed stimulus

a naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary (reflex) response.

stimulus that has no effect on the desired response.

learned reflex response to a conditined stimulus.

stimulus that becomes able to produce a learned reflex response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus.

the disappearance or weakening of a learned response following the removal or absence of the unconditioned stimuls (in classical conditioning) or the removal of a reinforcer (in operant conditioning).

the reappearance of a learned response after extinction has occurred.

the tendency to response to a stimulus that is only smilar to the original conditioned stimulus with the conditioned response.

any event or object that, when following a response, increases the likelihood of that response occurring again.

occurs when a strong conditioned stimulus is paired with a neitral stimulus, causing neutral stimulus to become a second conditioned stimulus.

classical conditioning of a reflex response or emotion by watching the reaction of another person.

referring to the tendency of animals to learn certain associations, such as taste an nausea, with only one or a few pairings due to the survival value of the learning.

modern theory in which classical conditioning is seen to occur because the conditioned stimulus provides information or an expectancy about the coming of the unconditioned stimulus.

the learning of voluntary behavior through the effects of pleasant and unpleasant consequences to responses.

any event or stimulus, that when following a response, increases the probability that the response will occur again.

the reinforcement of a response by the addition or experiencing of a pleasurable stimulus.

the reinforcement of a response by the removal, escape from, or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus.

the punishment of a response by the addition or experiencing of an unpleasant stimulus.

the punishment of a response by the removal of a pleasurable stimulus.

any event or object that, when following a response, makes that response less likely to happen again: 3 things that make punishment more effective 1.

punishment should immediately folow the behavior it is meant to punish. 2. punishment should be consistent. 3.

punishment of the wrong behavior should be paired, whenever possible, with reinforcement of the right behavior.

schedule of reinforcement in which the interval of time that must pass before reinforcement becomes possible is different for each trial or event.

the use of operant conditioning techniques to bring about desired changes in behavior.

learning that remains hidden until its application becomes useful.

the tendency to fail to act to escape from a situation because of a history of repeated failures in the past.

1. The learner first pays ATTENTION 2. The learnerd must be able to retain the MEMORY 3. The learner must be capable of IMITATION 4. The learner must have the MOTIVATION
