Side A ------ Side B learning ------ the precoess by which experience or practice results in a relatively permanent change in nehavior or potential behavior. classical (or Pavolvian) conditioning ------ the type of learning in which a response naturally elicited by one stimulus comes to be elicited by a different, formerly neutral, stimulus. almost by accident. uncondtioned stimulus (US) ------ a stimulus that invariably causes an orgaism to respond in a specific way. unconditioned response (UR) ------ a response tha takes place in an organism whenever an unconditoned stimulus occurs. conditioned stimulus (CS) ------ an originallu neautral stimuls that is paired with an unconditioned stimulus and eventually produces the desired response in an orgaism when presented alone. conditoined response (CR) ------ after conditioning, the response an organism produces when a conditioned stimulus is presented. intermittent pairing ------ pairing the conditioned stimuls and the unconditioned stimulus on only a portion of the laerning trials desensitization therapy ------ a conditioning technique designed to gradually reduce anxiety about a particular object or situation preparedness ------ a biological readiness to learn vertain associations because of their survival advantages conditioned taste aversion ------ conditioned avoidance of certain foods even if there is only one pairing of conditoned and unconditioned stimuli operant (or instrumental) conditioning ------ the type of learning in which behaviors are emitted (in the presence of specific stimuli) to earn rewards or avoid punishments. operant behaviors ------ behaviors designed to operate on the enviornment in a way that will gain something desired or avoid something unpleasant. reinforcers ------ stimuli that follow a behavior and increase the likelihood that the behavior will be repeated. punishers ------ stimuli that follow a behavior and decrease the likelihood that the behavior will be repeated law of effect (principle of reinforcement) ------ Thorndike's theory that behavior consistently rewarded will be "stamped in" as learned behavior, and behavior that brings about discomfort will be "stamped out" skinner box ------ a box often used in operant conditioning of animals; it limits the availbale reponses and thus increases the likelihood that the desired response will occur. shaping ------ reinforcing successive approximations to a desired behavior positive reinforcers ------ events whose presence increases the likelihood that ongoing behavior will recur negative reinforcers ------ events whose reduction or termination increases the likelihood that ongoing behavior will recur punishment ------ any event whose presence decreases the likelihood that ongoing behavior will recur avoidance training ------ learning a desirbale behavior to prevent the occurance of something unpleasant, such as punishment avoidance training ------ learning a desirbale behavior to prevent the occurance of something unpleasant, such as punishment learned helplessness ------ failure to take steps to avoid or escape from an unpleasant or aversive stimulus that occurs as a result of previous exposure to unavoidable painful stimuli biofeedback ------ a technique that uses monitioring devices to provide precise information about internal physiological processes, such as heart rate, or blood pressure, to teach people to gain voluntary control over these functions. nearofeedback ------ a biofeedback technique that monitors brain waves with the use of an EEG to teach people to gain voluntary control over their brain wave activity. contingency ------ a reliable "if-then" relationship between two events, such as a CS and a US. blocking ------ a process whereby prior conditioning prevents conditioning to a second stimulus even when the two stimuli are presented simultaneously. schedule of reinforcement ------ in operant conditioning, the rule for determining when a how often reinforvers will be delivered schedule of reinforcement ------ in operant conditioning, the rule for determining when a how often reinforvers will be delivered schedule of reinforcement ------ in operant conditioning, the rule for determining when a how often reinforvers will be delivered fixed-interval schedule ------ a reinforcement schedule in which the correct response is reinforced after a fixed length of time since the last reinforcemnt. variable-interval schedule ------ a reinforcement schedule in which the correct response is reinforced after varying lengths of time followig the last reinforcement. fixed-ratio schedule ------ a reinforcement schedule in which the correct response is reinforced after a fixed number of correct responses variable-ratio schedule ------ a reinforcement schedule in which a varying number of correct responses much occur before reinforcement is presented extinction ------ a decrease in the strength or frequency, or stopping, of a learned response because of failure to continue pairing the US and CS (classical conditioning) or withholding of reinforcement (operant conditioning) spontaneous recovery ------ the reappearance of an extinguished response after the passage of time, without training. stimulus control ------ control of conditioned reponses by cues or stimuli in the enviornment stimulus generalization ------ the transfer of a leanred reponse to different but similar stimuli stimulus discrimination ------ learning to respond to only one stimulus and to inhibit the response to all other stimuli response generalization ------ giving a reponse that is somewhat different from the response originally learned to that stimulus higher order conditioning ------ conditioning based on previous learning; the conditioned stimulus serves as an unconditioned stimulus for further training. primary reinforcers ------ reinforcers that are rewarding in themselves, such as food, water, or sex secondary reinforcers ------ reinforcers whose value is acquired through associations with other primary or secondary reinforcers cognitive learning ------ learning that depends on mental processes that are not directly obervable latent learning ------ learning that is not immediately reflected in a behavior change cognitive map ------ a learned mental image of a spatial enviornment that may be called on to solve problems when stimuli in the enviornmental change insight ------ learning that occurs rapidly as a result of understanding all the elements of a problem. learning set ------ the ability to become increasingly more effective in solving problems as more problems are sovled. observational (or vicarious) learning ------ learning by observing other people's behavior social learning theorists ------ psychologists whose view of learning emphasizes the ability to learn by observing a model or receiving instructions, without firsthand experience by the learner. vicarious reinforcement (or punishment) ------ reinforcement or punishment experineced by models that affects the willingness of others to perform the behaviors they learned by observing those models
