Study Notes
Conditioning and Learning
- Avoidance conditioning involves an organism making a response to avoid an unpleasant stimulus.
- Cognitive learning involving reorganizing information into new insights or understanding is called insight learning.
Operant Conditioning
- Nonreinforcement is used to alter behavior by withdrawing a stimulus, leading to a decrease in the frequency of the behavior.
- The mechanism that stops an unpleasant stimulus is called escape conditioning.
- When an aversive stimulus is applied following a response, it is called punishment.
- The reappearance of a response that was previously extinguished is called spontaneous recovery.
Behavior Models
- The behavior model that focuses on the behavior of the organism and the reinforcement that occurs after the response is called operant conditioning.
- A stimulus or event applied after a response to strengthen the probability of that response occurring again is called a reinforcer.
Reinforcement Methods
- The method that strengthens a response by applying rewards, leading to the repetition of desired behavior is called positive reinforcement.
- When specific responses are reinforced on the proper schedule, behaviors can increase in frequency.
Ego Defense Mechanisms
- The ego defense mechanism that involves ignoring or refusing to acknowledge the reality of a threat is called denial.
- The ego defense mechanism that involves excusing or explaining away a threat is called rationalization.
- The defense mechanism that involves taking out hostility and aggression on other individuals rather than the source of the threat is called displacement.
- The defense mechanism that involves keeping unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or actions from conscious awareness is called repression.
- The ego defense mechanism that involves expressing or behaving the opposite of what is really felt is called reaction formation.
- The defense mechanism that involves converting repressed feelings into socially acceptable actions is called sublimation.
