Study Notes
Classical Conditioning (CC)
- A learning process linking stimuli to anticipate outcomes.
- Involves various components like neutral stimuli and responses.
Neutral Stimulus (NS)
- A stimulus that triggers no initial response before conditioning occurs.
Unconditioned Response (UR)
- An automatic, unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus (US).
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
- A naturally occurring stimulus that triggers an unconditioned response without prior learning.
Conditioned Response (CR)
- A learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus (CS) that was previously neutral.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
- An initially irrelevant stimulus that, after being paired with a US, triggers a conditioned response.
High-Order Conditioning
- Involves associating specific attributes of a neutral stimulus to elicit a response based on those attributes, such as associating a higher-pitched sound with food.
Extinction
- Occurs when the conditioned stimulus is no longer linked to the unconditioned stimulus, leading to a decrease in the conditioned response.
Spontaneous Recovery
- The re-emergence of a conditioned response after a pause, often after re-pairing the CS with the US more quickly than initial conditioning.
Acquisition
- The process of linking a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to create a conditioned response.
Generalization
- The tendency to respond similarly to stimuli that share characteristics with the conditioned stimulus.
Discrimination
- The ability to differentiate between the conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.
Operant Conditioning
- A form of learning where behaviors are reinforced or weakened through reinforcers or punishers.
Reinforcement
- Any consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.
Positive Reinforcement (PR)
- Increases behavior by adding a desirable stimulus.
Negative Reinforcement (NR)
- Increases behavior by removing an undesirable stimulus.
Positive Punishment (PP)
- Decreases a behavior by introducing a negative consequence.
Negative Punishment (NP)
- Decreases behavior by taking away a positive stimulus.
Fixed-Ratio Schedule
- A reinforcement schedule that rewards a response after a defined number of responses.
Variable-Ratio Schedule
- A reinforcement schedule that provides rewards after a variable number of responses, leading to high and steady response rates.
Fixed-Interval Schedule
- A reinforcement schedule that delivers reward after a specific duration of time has passed.
Variable-Interval Schedule
- A reinforcement schedule that delivers rewards at unpredictable time intervals, resulting in a consistent response rate.
