Psych Unit 3 | AOS2 | Memory

• learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience. Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge skills or behavior through experience.
• the three types of memory are sensory, short term & long term
• classical conditioning is a simple form of learning, its learned through repeated association of two different stimuli, typically produces an involuntary response. in classical conditioning the learner is passive, not active.
• classical conditioning can be described as anticipatory
• classical conditioning doesn't elicit an unconscious response, rather an involuntary response.
• contiguity refers to the formation of a connection or association between two events when the event occur close together in time or space.
• during before conditioning, the neutral stimulus produces no relevant response. however the unconditioned stimulus activates the unconditioned response.
• during during conditioning, the neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus to produce the unconditioned response.
• during before conditioning, the neutral stimulus produces no relevant response. however the unconditioned stimulus activates the unconditioned response.
• during during conditioning, the neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus to produce the unconditioned response.
• during after conditioning the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus . the conditioned stimulus produces a conditioned response which is usually similar to the previously unconditioned response
• during after conditioning the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus . the conditioned stimulus produces a conditioned response which is usually similar to the previously unconditioned response
• unconditioned stimulus is any stimuli's that consistently produces an automatic, naturally occurring response
• unconditioned stimulus is any stimuli's that consistently produces an automatic, naturally occurring response
• Unconditioned response is the response that occurs autonomically when the unconditioned stimulus is presented
• Unconditioned response is the response that occurs autonomically when the unconditioned stimulus is presented
• neutral stimulus is any stimulus that doesn't normally produce a response.
• neutral stimulus is any stimulus that doesn't normally produce a response.
• Conditioned stimulus is the neutral stimulus at the start of the conditioning process but eventually causes a conditioned response caused by the unconditioned stimulus.
• Conditioned stimulus is the neutral stimulus at the start of the conditioning process but eventually causes a conditioned response caused by the unconditioned stimulus.
• Conditioned response is the learned response that is produced by the conditioned stimulus
• Conditioned response is the learned response that is produced by the conditioned stimulus
• diminishing returns is a learning curve in which the task is easy to learn but eventually plateaus
• diminishing returns is a learning curve in which the task is easy to learn but eventually plateaus
• increasing returns is a learning curve that meanings the task if difficult to complete at first but eventually gets easier.
• increasing returns is a learning curve that meanings the task if difficult to complete at first but eventually gets easier.
• a complex learning curve is the most realistic, as it means its a hard skill to master, demonstaighted by the many plateaus
• a complex learning curve is the most realistic, as it means its a hard skill to master, demonstaighted by the many plateaus
• during the acquisition phase the strength of the conditioned response is strong and rapidly increases. when the unconditioned stimulus is removed and the conditioned stimulus is presented alone, the conditioned response until extinguished.

• operant conditioning is a learning process where the consequences of behavior determine the likelihood it will be preformed again. its more likely to be preformed again if the outcome is desirable, and less likely if the outcome is undesirable.
• operant conditioning is a learning process where the consequences of behavior determine the likelihood it will be preformed again. its more likely to be preformed again if the outcome is desirable, and less likely if the outcome is undesirable.
• the three phase model has three steps:

  • the antecedent
  • the behavior
  • the consequence
• the antecedent is a stimulus/inspiration that occurs before the behavior
• the behavior is what occurs due to the antecedent
• the consequence is the result to the behavior
• positive reinforcement is the addition of a desirable stimuli's. for example getting stickers for doing HW
• positive reinforcement is the addition of a desirable stimuli's. for example getting stickers for doing HW
• positive punishment is the addition of an undesirable stimulus/consequence. for example getting detention for now doing HW
• positive punishment is the addition of an undesirable stimulus/consequence. for example getting detention for now doing HW
