AP Psych Final

legit just learning. getting new shit.

responding less to a stimuli that happens a lot

put hand in hot stove ouch, hot stove associated with pain, conditioned to not put hand on hot stove

knowledge through experience

unconscious learning

psych is objective and stdies behavior

automatic response from training to previously neutral stimulus

stimulus made to trigger conditioned response

1st stages of kearning when response is established

EX: after pairing a bell with food and making the bell a conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response like saliva (1st order conditioning), a light could be paired with the bell. If only the light elicits a conditioned response like saliva, thats high order.

conditioned response reemerges after extinction of conditioned stimulus for a while

learning with rewards and punishment to modify behavior

behavior w/ pleasant consequences likely to be repeated and vice versa

(skinner box) lab thing to modify animal behavior (its the rat box)

consequence following an operant response that attempts to increase that response in the future

trying to get a specific response by reinforcing similar responses

EX: pigeons taught to peck keys when lit up red bc they got food. green keys gave shock so they didnt peck. discriminative stimulus is color of key.

give something (head pat) to reinforce behavior

take something away (stop yelling) to reinforce behavior

occur naturally w/o learning. ex: food, water, sleep, air

previously neutral stimulus. when paired w/ primary reinforcer gets same properties. ex: money.

EX: child gets piece of candy every time they use the potty

reinforcement of behavior every time it happens

reinforcing only sometimes the desired behavior occurs

response reinforced after specific number of responses

response reinforced after variable number of responses

reinforcement at consistent times. ex: child rewarded once a week fir cleaning room

response rewarded after unpredictable amount of time

consequense following operant response that decreases likelihood of response

EX: relaxation technique to turn down headache brainwaves

evoked by specific stimulus that will consistently occur when stimulus is presented
