|
Learning |
A systematic and relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experience |
|
|
Bshaviorism |
The theory that human and animal behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning without appeal to thoughts or feelings and that psychological disorders are best treated by altering behavior patterns |
|
|
Classical conditioning |
This happens when the individual learns to pair a netural stimulus with an innately meaningful stimulus |
|
|
Unconditional stimulus (US) |
This us the reflex stimulus the presentation of its stimulus will cause you to act is particular way without you having ever learned to respond in this way |
|
|
Seeing food will make you salivate is a US, UR, CS, or CR |
Unconditional stimulus (US) |
|
|
Unconditioned response (UR) |
Unlearned automatic reaction elicited by the US |
|
|
Conditioned stimulus (CS) |
Previously netural stimulus. Altering conditioning, this stimulus will act the same way as the (US) |
|
|
Conditioned response (CR) |
Learned response to the CD that occurs after CS-US pairing |
|
|
Generalization |
This is when a new stimulus that resembles the conditioned stimulus will elicit a similar conditioned response |
|
|
Discrimination |
Process of learning to respond to certain stimuli and not to others |
|
|
What is counterconditioning |
When through conditioning you change the relationship between the conditioned stimulus and the conditioned response |
|
|
What us habituation |
It is a decreased responsiveness to a stimulus after many presentation |
|
|
Operant conditioning |
This is a type if conditioning in which the consequences of a particular behavior will change the probability of repeating that behavior in the future |
|
|
Reinforcement |
Results in an increase in the frequency of a behavior |
|
|
Positive reinforcement |
When something is added and increase the frequency of a behavior |
|
|
Negative reinforcement |
When the removal of a stimulus will increase the frequency of a behavior |
|
|
Primary reinforcers |
These are innately satisfying |
|
|
Secondary reinforcers |
These are satisfying only because you have learned to associate them with positive value |
|
|
Generalization |
Performing a reinforced behavior in a different situation |
|
|
Discrimination |
Appropriately responding to stimuli that signal that a behavior will or will not be reinforced |
|
|
Punishment |
A consequence that decreases the likelihood that a behavior will occur |
|
|
Positive punishment |
Presentation of a stimulus decreases the frequency of a behavior (something added) |
