A stimulus that invariably causes an organism to respond in a specific way.
Unconditioned stimulus (US)
Unconditioned response (UR)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Conditioned response (CR)
A response that takes place in an organism whenever an unconditioned stimulus occurs.
Unconditioned stimulus (US)
Unconditioned response (UR)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Conditioned response (CR)
An originally neutral stimulus that is paired with an unconditioned stimulus and eventually produces the desired response in an organism when presented alone
Unconditioned stimulus (US)
Unconditioned response (UR)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Conditioned response (CR)
After conditioning, the response an organism produces when a conditioned stimulus is presented
Unconditioned stimulus (US)
Unconditioned response (UR)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Conditioned response (CR)
Is the tendency for the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar responses after the responses has been conditioned.
Stimulus Generalization
Discrimination
Extinction
Spontaneous Recovery
Is the ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that have not been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Stimulus Generalization
Discrimination
Extinction
Spontaneous Recovery
Is when the occurrences of a conditioned response decrease or disappear. In classical conditioning, this happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Stimulus Generalization
Discrimination
Extinction
Spontaneous Recovery
Is the reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened response. If the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are no longer associated, extinction will occur very rapidly after a spontaneous recovery.
Stimulus Generalization
Discrimination
Extinction
Spontaneous Recovery
Responses which are followed by satisfying aftereffects tend to learned and repeated.
Law of Effect
Law of Primacy
Law of Recency
€¢ Law of Intensity
Acts or impressions learned first will be better remembered than acts or impressions learned later.
Law of Effect
Law of Primacy
Law of Recency
€¢ Law of Intensity
Acts or impressions learned last will be better remembered than acts or impressions learned first.
Law of Effect
Law of Primacy
Law of Recency
€¢ Law of Intensity
The strength of any behavior or experience has a corresponding relation to learning.
Law of Effect
Law of Primacy
Law of Recency
€¢ Law of Intensity
Is any event that strengthens or increases the behavior it follows.
Reinforcement
Punishment
Is the presentation of an adverse event or outcome that causes a decrease in the behavior it follows.
Reinforcement
Punishment
Is the process of by which we encode, store and retrieve information.
Memory
Sensory Store
Short-term Memory
Long-term Memory
Memories are stored and held by the senses, Information here, if not treated more consciously, quickly fades with time
