part 6 of Sem 1 Final review

a relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience

• sensory interaction

• drive

• motivation

• learning

a type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events

• operant conditioning

• classical conditioning

• observational learning

• survey method

a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished followed by a punisher

• operant conditioning

• classical conditioning

• observational learning

• reinforcement

Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, or where behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely

• just noticeable difference

• associative learning

• law of effect

• shaping

an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an US, comes to trigger a conditioned reaction

• US

• UR

• CS

• CR

a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a reaction (like food)

• NS

• US

• CS

• UR

the learned ability to distinguish between a CS and stimuli that do not signal an US

• spontaneous recovery

• extinction

• generalization

• discrimination

the tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the CS to elicit responses

• discrimination

• generalization

• extinction

• spontaneous recovery

the hopelessness and passive resignation an animal or human learns when unable to avoid repeated aversive events

• associative learning

• learned helplessness

• behaviorism

• cognitive mapping

increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food.

• positive reinforcement

• positive punishment

• negative reinforcement

• negative punishment
