&ANSWERS|HIGHLY GRADED A+
Learning - CORRECT ANSWERS-A relatively permanent change in behavior that
occurs through experience.
Memory - CORRECT ANSWERS-Memory is the persistence of learning over time
through the storage and retrieval of information.
Associative Learning: - CORRECT ANSWERS--Learning that two events occur together
-Classical Conditioning
-Operant Conditioning
Classical Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWERS--Conditioning process in which an
originally neutral stimulus, by repeated pairing with a stimulus that normally elicits a
response, comes to elicit a similar or even identical response; aka Pavlovian
conditioning
-A form of learning in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful
stimulus and acquires the capacity to elicit a similar response
-Stimulus substitution
-Acquisition
Classical Conditioning Examples - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Acquisition - CORRECT ANSWERS-An association between NS and UCS takes place
NS before UCS
Time=1/2 second
Stimulus Substitution - CORRECT ANSWERS-In the nervous system, the CS and US
bond together and eventually the CS substitutes for the US
Phobias through classical conditioning - CORRECT ANSWERS-Classical conditioning
has been proven to exist as a basis for phobias. This occurs through the process of
stimulus generalization. In this process, a person has a bad experience with something
, (the environmental stimulus) which plays upon their own fear (the naturally occurring
reflex).
For example, if a child (who does not know how to swim) is thrown into a pool, he or she
may develop a fear of water. Given that their fear of water is based upon them being
thrown into the water constitutes classical conditioning. It was the child's fear (a
naturally occurring reflex) and the water (the environmental stimulus) which caused the
fear of water.
This said, there are some unfounded phobias which exist in some people given they
have never experienced a situation where classical conditioning took place. Their fears
simply exist for no apparent reason at all.
Classical conditioning can also be used to treat phobias in a process known as
desensitization. In this process, the person with the phobia is exposed to the thing of
which they are afraid. The psychologist (or doctor) then teaches the patient how to
reduce his or her anxiety (typically through breathing and/or relaxation exercises).
Reflexes - CORRECT ANSWERS-Automatic stimulus-response connections that are
"hardwired" into the brain.
Unconditional Stimulus (UCS) - CORRECT ANSWERS--A stimulus that naturally and
automatically triggers a response without prior learning
-Food
Unconditioned Response (UCR) - CORRECT ANSWERS--An unlearned and naturally
occurring response that is automatically associated with the unconditional stimulus.
-Salivating
Conditioned Stimulus - CORRECT ANSWERS-A previously neutral stimulus that elicits
the conditioned response after being paired with the unconditional stimulus.
-Bell
Conditioned Response - CORRECT ANSWERS-The learned response to the
conditioned stimulus that occurs after CS-US association.
-Salivation to the bell
Pavlov's Experiment - CORRECT ANSWERS-Food in mouth (unconditioned stimulus)
produces an saliva (unconditioned response)
Tone of bell (neutral stimulus) produces no salivation response.
Tone of bell (Neutral stimulus) combined with food in mouth (unconditioned stimulus)
produces an unconditioned response. (salivation) Repeated pairings like this cause a
conditioned response. The dog is trained to expect food when he hears bell. After
several times of hearing bell with no food, however, he will forget the conditioned
response - called Extinction. Spontaneous recovery occurs after this.
