-
Systematic, relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experiences
Learning
-
Theory of learning that focuses solely on observable behaviors, discounting the importance of such mental activity as thinking, wishing, and hoping
Behaviorism
-
Occurs when we make a connection, or an association. between two events.
Associative learning
-
The process of learning these associations
Conditioning
-
In____________, organisms learn the association between two stimuli.
classical conditioning
-
As a result of this association, organisms learn to ____________ events.
anticipate
-
In operant conditioning, organisms learn the association between a ___________ and a _____, such as a reward.
behavior / consequence
-
A stimulus that produces a response without prior learning
Unconditioned stimulus
-
An unlearned reaction that is automatically elicited by the UCS.
unconditioned response (UCR)
-
In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus (CS) is a previously neutral stimulus that eventually elicits a_________ after being paired with the________________.
conditioned response / unconditioned stimulus
-
The conditioned response (CR) is the learned response to the conditioned stimulus that occurs after
CS-UCS pairing
-
___ is the initial learning of the connection between the UCS and CS when these two stimuli are paired
Acquisition
-
Means that the CS and UCS are presented very close together in time
Contiguity
-
Means the CS must procede UCS closely in time, must also be a reliable indicator that UCS is on its way
Contingency
-
In classical conditioning, the tendency of a new stimulus that is similar to the original CS to elicit a response similar to CR
Generalization
-
In classical conditioning, learning to respond to certain stimuli and not others
Discrimination
-
In classical conditioning, weakening of the CR when UCS is absent
Extinction
-
Process in classical conditioning by which CR can recur after a time delay, without further conditioning
Spontaneous recovery
-
Recovery of the conditioned response when the organism is placed in a novel context
Renewal
-
Classical conditioning procedure for changing the relationship between a CS & its CR
Counterconditioning
-
Method of therapy that treats anxiety by teaching the client to associate deep relaxation with increasingly intense anxiety-producing situations
Systematic desensitization
-
Form of treatment that consists of repeated pairings of a stimulus with a very unpleasant stimuli
