Ap Psch Chapter 6: Learning

the initial learning stage in classical conditioning, during which the conditioned response comes to be elicited by the conditioned stimulus

the weakening of a conditioned response due to the absence of an unconditioned stimulus

the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after a time delay

the act or process of responding to a stimulus similar to but distinct from the conditioned stimulus

the ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other, similar stimuli that don't signal an unconditioned stimulus

type of learning in which a stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus

stimulus that evokes an unconditional response without previous conditioning

unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus that occurs without previous conditioning

learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of previous conditioning

previously neural stimulus that has, through conditioning, acquired the capacity to evoke a conditioned response

is the use of something unpleasant, or a punishment to stop an unwanted behavior

refers to a situation in which a stimulus that was previously neural is paired with a conditioned stimulus

development of a dislike of or aversion to a flavor or food that has been paired with illness

a type of learning that occurs when the participant must make a response to produce a change in the environment

Thorndike's view that reinforcers promote learning, whereas punishers lead to the unlearning of responses

process in which behavior is sensitive to or controlled by it

a small enclosure in which an animal can make a specific response that is recorded while the consequence of the response are systematically

occurs when an event following a response increases an organism's tendency to make that response

reinforcement that occurs when a response is strengthened because it is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus

a response or behavior is strengthened by stopping, removing, or avoiding a negative outcome or aversive stimulus

occurs when an event following a response weakens the tendency to make the response

involves presenting an unfavorable outcome or event following an desirable behavior

is the procedure of removing positive reinforcement upon the occurrence of unwanted behavior

consists of the reinforcement of closer and closer approximations of a desired response

reinforcing individual responses occurring in a sequence to form a complex behavior

events that are inherently reinforcing because they satisfy biological needs

refers to a situation in which a stimulus reinforces a behavior after it has been associated with a primary reinforcer

is a conditioned reinforcer that has obtained the reinforcing function by pairing with many other reinforcers and functions as a reinforcer

a system for doling out symbolic reinforcers that are exchanged later for a variety of genuine reinforcers
