Learning |
The process of acquiring new and lasting info or behaviors |
|
Habituation |
An organisms decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it (getting used to car alarm sound) |
|
Mere exposure effect |
A learned preference for stimuli to which we have been previously exposed (Best friends voice vs random stranger) ( coke vs pepsi) |
|
Behavioral learning |
Forms of learning, such as classical and operant conditioning which can be described in terms of stimuli and responses |
|
Classical Conditioning |
Form of learning that occurs when a previously neutral stimulus is linked to another neutral stimulus and therefore acquired the power to elicit a consistent and innate reflex. Upon repetition, the individual will come to expect this response The dog study with the bell and the drool. |
|
Parlovs experiment |
Discovered that a neutral stimulus (the bell) when paired with a natural-reflex producing stimulus(food) will begin to produce a learned response (drool), even when it is presented by itself. |
|
Neutral stimulus |
Any stimulus that produces no conditioned response prior to learning |
|
Unconditioned stimulis (US) |
Stimulus that automatically (without conditioning) provokes a reflexive response. (Like food) |
|
Unconditioned Response (UR) |
A response resulting from an unconditioned stimulis without prior learning (salivating bc of food) |
|
Aquisition |
Learning stage during which a conditioned response (CR) comes to be elicited by the conditioned stimulis (CS). Dogs mind: bell=food |
|
Conditioned stimulus (CS) |
Formerly neutral stimulis that gains the power to cause a response. (Like the bell) |
|
Conditioned response (CR) |
Response elicited by a previously neutral stimulis that has become associated with the unconditioned stimulis (still drool, called this bc result can be duplicated) |
|
Extinction |
The diminishing of a learned or conditioned response. when an unconditioned stimulis does not follow a conditioned stimulis (Does not mean complete elimination of response) |
|
Spontaneous recovery |
Sudden reappearance of an extinguished response. (CR is weaker than original CR) |
|
Discrimination |
The ability to distinguish between two similar signals of stimulus (phone ring and elevator ring) |
|
Social learning theory |
Occurs when we model the behaviors of others |
|
Bobo doll |
When children observed adults having fun being violent to the doll, children left with the doll were also aggresive. Social learning and observational. |
|
Conditioning |
A form of associative learning in which behaviors are triggered by associations with events in the environment. (Like woman associating nausea with donut bc she barfed after eating a chocolate donut even tho motion sickness was the cause.) |
