Study Notes
Conditioning and Learning
- Habituation refers to an implicit or unintended decrease in a response due to repeated stimulation.
- In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus is a stimulus that does not elicit any response naturally.
- Extinction is the disappearance of the Conditioned Response due to the presence of the Conditioned Stimulus alone for an extended period of time without the Unconditioned Stimulus being presented.
Operant Learning
- Reinforcement is the process of changing the relationship between Conditioned Stimulus and Conditioned Response by changing the valuation of the Unconditioned Stimulus.
- A reinforcer is any outcome of a behavior that changes the likelihood that the behavior will occur again.
- A punisher is the outcome that decreases the likelihood that a behavior will occur again.
- Shaping is the process of reinforcing behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior.
Developmental Psychology
- Thorndike's Law of Effect is related to the concept that behaviors that are followed by a satisfying consequence will be strengthened, while those followed by an unsatisfying consequence will be weakened.
- Innate stimuli are stimuli that naturally elicit a response.
- According to Piaget's theory, object permanence is acquired during the sensorimotor stage of cognitive development.
- In Vygotsky's theory, scaffolding involves adults gradually reducing the level of help or guidance given to a child as they master a task.
- Secure attachment is characterized by a child showing distress when separated from their caregiver, but is easily comforted upon their return.
- Avoidant attachment involves a child showing little distress upon separation from their caregiver and avoiding them upon their return.
Cognitive Development
- According to Piaget's theory, assimilation is the process of making new information fit into existing understanding.
- Accommodation refers to adjusting one's current understanding to incorporate new information.
- Object permanence refers to the awareness/knowledge that objects continue to exist even when out of view.
- Formal operational thinking is the ability to think logically about abstract concepts and manipulate mental representations.
- Hypothetical-deductive reasoning involves considering possible outcomes given similar but not exact experiences.
- During the preoperational stage of cognitive development, children exhibit illogical thinking and personal mental representations.
Other Concepts
- Epigenetics refers to the degree to which the environment can affect behavior depending on the genes present.
- In Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development, initiative is responsible for skill development during certain developmental crises.
