|---|---|
 reflexes | changes due to inherited, automatic behavior based on a stimulus/response mechanism programmed into your DNA |
| true | TRUE OR FALSE: reflexes are inborn and present at birth |
| false | TRUE OR FALSE: reflexes are managed by the motor cortex located in the frontal lobes |
| false | TRUE OR FALSE: reflexes are the result of learning |
| maturation | changes due to physical growth and development |
| learning | permanent changes that occur as a result of experience and/or practice |
| classical and operant | 2 types of conditioning |
| reflexive pair | the UCS and UCR are actually a _______ __________ which means that they are unconditioned or unlearned |
| pavlovian conditioning | classical conditioning; occurs when a stimulus that does not elicit a given response is repeatedly linked w/ one that does until the neutral stimulus elicits the response by itself |
| UCS | unconditioned stimulus |
| UCR | unconditioned response |
| CS | conditioned stimulus (learned stimulus) |
| CR | conditioned response |
| true | TRUE OR FALSE: in classical conditioning formula, the CS should come before the UCS |
| extinction | when the UCS does not follow the CS, CR begins to decrease and eventually cause _______ |
| spontaneous recovery | after rest period |
| generalization | subject responds to 2nd stimulus similar to original CS w/o any conditioning |
| higher-order conditioning | when a CS is used as a "UCS" to condition |
| watson | who applied classical conditioning to the study of fears? |
| skinner | founder of operant conditioning |
| operant conditioning | behavior is strengthened if followed by reinforcement or diminished if followed by punishment |
| reinforcement | any procedure that increases a response |
| punishment | any procedure that decreases a response |
| simultaneous conditioning | CS & UCS begin and end together |
| short-delayed conditioning | CS begins just before UCS; ends together |
| trace conditioning | CS begins and ends before UCS is presented |
| shaping | operant conditioning; reinforcers guide current behavior toward a desired goal by rewarding successive approximations |
