Unit 3 Learning Terms

pe of learning in which we link two or more stimuli; as a result to illustrate with Pavlov’s classic experiment, the first stimulus (a tone) comes to elicit behavior (drooling) in anticipation of the second stimulus (food)

• Observational learning
• Operant conditioning
• Cognitive learning
• Classical conditioning

in classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally naturally and automatically - triggers an unconditioned response (UCR).

• Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
• Reinforcement Stimulus (RS)
• Neutral Stimulus (NS)
• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

in classical conditioning an unlearned, naturally occurring response (such as salivation) to an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) (such as food in the mouth).

• Unconditioned response

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

• Conditioned Response (CR)

• Neutral Stimulus (NS)

in classical conditioning, an originally neutral stimulus that after association with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS), comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR).

• Reinforced stimulus (RS)
• Conditioned stimulus (CS)
• Neutral response (NR)
• Unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

in classical conditioning; a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS).

• Unconditioned response
• Neutral stimulus
• Conditioned response
• Reinforced behavior

classical conditioning a stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning

• unconditioned stimulus
• conditioned response
• reinforcement stimulus
• neutral stimulus

in classical conditioning, the diminishing of a conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus. (In operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.)

• Reinforcement
• Generalization
• Discrimination
• Extinction

in classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that have not been associated with a conditioned stimulus. (In operant conditioning, the ability to distinguish responses that are reinforced from similar responses that are not reinforced).

• Reinforcement
• Stimulus Discrimination

• Generalization
• Extinction

in classical conditioning, the tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses. (In operant conditioning, when responses learned in one situation occur in other, similar situations

• Response inhibition
• Stimulus generalization
• Conditioned response
• Stimulus discrimination

a learning process where an association between a stimulus and a response is formed after only one exposure, meaning a person or animal learns something completely after experiencing it just once, without the need for repeated trials

• One-trial conditioning

• Instantaneous response training
• Immediate reinforcement conditioning

• Single-exposure conditioning
