Study Notes
Learning Theories
- Skinner Box: a small enclosure where an animal can make a specific response that is systematically recorded, with consequences of the response controlled by the researcher, illustrating Operant Conditioning.
Psychoactive Drugs
- Psychoactive drugs alter mental, emotional, and behavioral functioning, including Alcohol, Cannabis, Narcotics, and all of the above.
Dream Theories
- Dreams for survival theory: states that dreams permit information that is critical for our daily continued existence, and these dreams are memories that are reconsidered and reprocessed during sleep.
Conditioning
- Stimulus discrimination: Gunther's behavior of jumping up and down at the door before Jim arrives and growling and barking at others, showing the ability to differentiate between stimuli.
Memory
- Ineffective forgetting: the inability to retrieve information due to distractions, such as social media, phones, and lack of attention.
Reinforcement
- Secondary reinforcer: money used to pay for a meal and soda, as it satisfies a biological need and increases the probability of the response that produced it.
Sleep
-
Meditation: has health benefits, including reducing stress hormones, increasing self-esteem, and decreasing blood pressure.
-
Narcolepsy: a sleep disorder characterized by sudden, irresistible attacks of refreshing sleep during waking periods, lasting 10-20 minutes.
Addiction
- Biological addiction: physical withdrawal symptoms caused by not having a substance, indicating a physical dependence on the substance.
Memory Processes
-
Retrieval: the process of bringing a stored memory code into working memory.
-
Schema: the knowledge about an object or event that is drawn from previous experiences with a similar object or event.
Learning
- Learning: a relatively durable change in behavior or knowledge that is due to experience.
Conditioning
- Extinction: the process of weakening a conditioned response by not providing the unconditioned stimulus, resulting in the conditioned response ceasing.
Memory
- Short-term/Working Memory: a part of our memory that temporarily holds information and is used to manipulate that information as part of our mental processing.
Sleep Disorders
-
Somnambulism: a sleep disorder characterized by walking or performing other activities while asleep.
-
Sleep Apnea: a sleep disorder characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep.
Reinforcement Schedules
- Variable ratio: a schedule of reinforcement where a reinforcer is given after a different number of non-reinforced responses, such as playing a slot machine.
Biological Rhythms
- Circadian Rhythm: the 24-hour biological sleep cycle found in humans and many other species.
Hypnotism
- Hypnotism can be used for anesthesia, disinhibitions, sensory distortions, and hallucinations, but not for fortune telling.
Learning
- Shaping: a process of teaching a complex behavior by rewarding closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior.
Memory
- Levels of processing theory: the degree to which newly encoded information is mentally analyzed, with the intensity of initial processing affecting the likelihood of remembering and the duration of the memory code.
Consciousness
- Consciousness: the awareness of both external and internal stimuli that is constantly changing.
REM Sleep
- REM sleep: characterized by theta brain waves, where dreams occur, and Tammy's case of falling back into a dream after waking up.
Cognitive Behavioral Perspective
- Model: the person who is being observed, in the context of learning and behavior.
Classical Conditioning
-
Pavlov's dog: conditioned to salivate (respond) to a conditioned stimulus (bell) after being repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus (food), illustrating classical conditioning.
-
Extinction: Pavlov's dog's salivation weakened and stopped after the bell was repeatedly rang without the presentation of food.
Conditioning
- Taste aversion: Jimmy's experience of getting sick after eating unwashed blueberries and subsequently feeling nauseous when seeing blueberries, illustrating taste aversion.
