Ch.7 "Learning"

the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, or responses from experience that result in a relatively permanent change in the state of the learner.

: it’s based on experience : it produces changes in the organism : the changes are relatively permanent

as purely behavioral; does not incite any mental activity

classical conditioning; salivation of dogs

when a neutral stimulus produces a response after being paired with a stimulus that naturally produces a response; learning to salivate to a sound, conditioned through food

: unconditioned stimulus : unconditioned response : conditioned stimulus : conditioned response

something that produces a naturally occurring reaction in an organism

a reflexive reaction that is reliably produced by an unconditioned stimulus

a stimulus that is initially neutral and produces no reliable response in an organism

a reaction that resembles an unconditioned response but is produced by a conditioned stimulus.

the phase of classical conditioning when the CS and the US are presented together.

exposing drug addicts to a familiar CS without being given the drug; results in extinction of the association between CS and the effects of drugs

associating a totally different stimulus, through an earlier CS to produce the same conditioned response; black square with the tuning fork, black square will eventually elicit salivation alone

the gradual elimination of a learned response that occurs when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer presented.

the tendency of a learned behavior to recover from extinction after a rest period.

when the conditioned response is observed even though the conditioned stimulus is slightly different from the original one during acquisition.

the capacity to distinguish between similar but distinct stimuli

Huge behaviorist, supported Pavlov; “Little Albert” experiment

: cognitive : neural : evolutionary

introduced a cognitive component to classical conditioning; predicted that conditioning would be easier when the conditioned stimulus was an unfamiliar event.

the conditioned stimulus followed immediately by the unconditioned stimulus, the CS overlaps the US, then end at the same time

same procedure as delay conditioning, except the conditioned stimulus ends before the unconditioned stimulus begins.
