Term
|
Definition
| one part of the cortex can take over the function of another part |
|
|
Term
| impact of equipotentiality |
|
Definition
| some functions lost from brain damage can be restored through relearning using other regions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
stimuli that reduce drive
ex food reduces hunger |
|
|
Term
| Hull's secondary reinforcement |
|
Definition
secondary reinforcement plays a crucial role in controlling behavior
a stimulus often presented with primary reinforces takes on reinforcing properties |
|
|
Term
| what additional dimension played a big role in hull's reinforcement |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| includes reactive & conditioned inhibition |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
(inhibiting) effect of fatigue/boredom in response to a stimulus & ability to learn
-dissipates with time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the reward of resting after a response
(response = tiring reactive inhibition) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| hypothetical state that explains relationships between observed variables |
|
|
Term
| Guthrie's view on reinforcement |
|
Definition
| has NO effect on learning |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the ONLY law of learning
- we learn connections when stimuli are arranged so that they can be effective cues for a desired response
i.e. putting the coat rack right inside the doorway, so it is "in the way" to be used |
|
|
Term
| Guthrie's one-trial learning |
|
Definition
learning takes places in one trial
when there is an appropriate conjunction between stimulus and response, a connection is immediately established |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| new learning resulting from the process of established new responses to old stimuli |
|
|
Term
| Tolman's intervening variables |
|
Definition
| psychological processes that direct behavior and mediate between stimuli and responses
i.e hypothesis, expectancies etc |
|
|
Term
| why is an Expectancy a good example of Tollman's intervening variable |
|
Definition
| after a series of successful trials, an expectancy of success will develop, which will then alter the way in which one reacts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
change in the expectancies of the organism
*cognitive interpretation |

Definition
response & reinforcement
modifying behavior due to reinforcement |
|
|
Term
| reinforcer (operant conditioning) |
|
Definition
| anything that increases probability of future occurrences |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| stimulus that INCREASES likelihood of future response |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
removing an aversive stimulus to increase responses
i.e. taking away extreme heat (players will play better) |
|
|
Term
| Skinner's applied research areas |
|
Definition
- verbal behavior
- developmental psychology
- aircrib
- application of behavioral principles in education
- process of aging |
|
|
Term
| Skinner's applied research: Verbal behavior |
|
Definition
| verbal behavior is learned and is modified by ensuing consequences from a given community |
|
|
Term
| Skinner's applied research: developmental and educational applications |
|
Definition
- developed the aircrib
- programmed instructions (programs that give immediate feedback for responses)
- |
