Cards

Term
Conditioned Inhibition
Definition

Results in the Decrease of condtioned response (CR)

(CS+ and CS-)

Term
Bidirectionality of Responding
Definition
Compares the baseline of excitatory responses to baseline of inhibitory responses
Term
Summation test
Definition
Takes CS- from original test and putsit with a CS+ from a different excitatory condition and see if ti still extinguishes the CS+ abiltity to produce CR
Term
Retardation of Acquistion Test
Definition

Measure amount of time it takes for a CS- to turn into a CS+

 

If it happens slowly then there was an inhibitor effect

Term
Extinction
Definition

Explicitly presenting the CS after the CS and US have been paired.

 

Loses effect because it has been shown to much

Term
Forgetting
Definition
Due to long interval of time since last exposure to the US
Term
Habituation
Definition
No previous conditioning with CS
Term
Disinhibition
Definition
Return of an EXTINGUISHED response after a novel stimulus
Term
Dishabituation
Definition
Return of a HABITUATED response after a novel stimulus
Term
Novelty
Definition

Something that draws more interest than other things.

sometimes something previously seen

Term
Latent Inhibition
Definition
The CR has been inhibited by Preexposure
Term
CS Preexposure
Definition
Have exposure tothe CS before the Conditioning
Term
US Preexposure
Definition
Having exposure to the US before Condtioning
Term
Learned Irrelevance
Definition
Happens when the CS or US is presented with no effect or response
Term
Kramer and Roberts
Definition
Did research on CS prexposure
Term
Intensity
Definition
the greater the intensity the stronger the conditioning
Term
belongingness
Definition
not all CS s can be paired with all US s
Term
S-S association
Definition
needs the US to reach the CR
Term
S-R
Definition
Can reach the CR without the presense of a US
Term
Stimulus Substitution
Definition
Pavlovs idea that CS s can be substitutes for US s but they cannot be.
Term
Rescorla
Definition

Devaluation study

 

Sought to Devalue the link between the CS and the US to see if the CR would be weakened 

Term
Higher order conditioning
Definition
Training in another CS from a CS
Term
Sensory preconditioning
Definition

                                                               i.      Link two CS’s prior to conditioning episodes

                                                              ii.      (1)   CS1 + CS2

                                                            iii.      (2)   CS1 + US ® UR

                                                            iv.      (3)   CS1 ® CR

                                                             v.      (4)   CS2 ® CR

 

                                                            vi.      CS2 is never directly paired with the US

Term
Counter Conditioning
Definition
Conditioning a response that is opposite of the response that would typically be elicited
Term
Siegel
Definition
Proposed that a classical conditioning mechanism controls tolerance to some drugs
Term
Conditioned Compensatory Response
Definition
your body compensates for a drug when you know its coming after repeated us of drug over time
Term
Tolerance
Definition
Decrease of effectiveness of a drug after repeated use.
Term
Kamin Blocking
Definition

                                                               i.      CS1 + US ® UR

                                                              ii.      light + shock ® suppression

                                                            iii.      2.  CS1 + CS2 + US ® UR

                                                            iv.          light + tone + shock ® suppression

                                                             v.       3. CS2 ®  no response

                                                            vi.      tone ® no suppression of responding

 

                                                          vii.      original stimulus blocks the the second stimulus from having a effect. 

Term
Overshadowing (Pavlov)
Definition

                                                               i.      If  one stimulus is greater in intensity it will overshadow the other stimulus. 

                                                              ii.      lT + food powder ® salivation

                                                            iii.       T ® salivation

 

                                                            iv.       l ® no salivation

Term
Rescorla - wagner Model
Definition

                                                               i.      Desingned to address the problem of overshadowing and kamin blocking

                                                              ii.      DVcs = k (l - Vtotal)

                                                            iii.      D= Change

                                                            iv.      Vcs = Associative value of a particular CS

                                                             v.      = maximum amount of conditioning supported by the US

                                                            vi.      Vtotal = combined associative values of all CS’s present on a particular trial

 

                                                          vii.      k = learning rate parameter

Term
instrumental Conditioning
Definition

R - S

Respones cause an action

Discrete trials- limited number of trials

Term
operant Conditioning
Definition
free operant method
Term
Thorndike
Definition
used puzzle boxes and trial error learning
Term
Puzzle box
Definition
boxes that thorndike built tha thad different simple levers that allowed the animal inside to get out and it learned that when it did these things good things happened
Term
law of effect
Definition

                                                               i.      Responses that are followed with a satisfying state of affairs will become strongly linked with that situation, so when the organisms is in that situation the response will tend to be repeated.

 

                                                              ii.      Good responses tend to be repeated bad responses tend no to be repeated.

Term
superstitious behaviour
Definition
incidental behaviorr are repeated because they are followed by a positive reward
