PSYCH EXAM 3

1. classical conditioning

2. operant conditioning

3. observational learning

-pairing, association

dog would salivate when meat was presented the dog would salivate the food would be paired with a metronome dog would salivate when it hear the tik, therefore the sound would be associated with food

operating on environment base on consequences

forgetting

remembering something that hasn't been used in a while

the tendency to respond in the same way to different but similar stimuli

results when different situations occasion different responses based on the contingencies of reinforcement, only worried about one thing

things that are paired (being nervous for a psych test) can be paired with other orders (nervous for test, nervous to be in class, nervous to be in the building)

neural circuitry

a type of brain cell that respond equally when we perform an action and when we witness someone else perform the same action

strengthens behavior

• and - example- strengthen quiet behavior

• (giving books in church)

• (taking away phone if it make them loud)

weakens behavior

• and - example: yelling and running around

• (spanking)

• (no treats, grounding)

increases

continuous- every time someone behaves a certain way, it is reinforced partial- reinforced some of the time variable interval- response is reinforced after an unpredicted amount of time variable ratio- behavior is reinforced after a random number of responses.

accidentally reinforced because we thing its paired together, hav

slowly reinforcing behavior for success (baby crawling)

1. identify what the respondent can do now

2. identify desired behavior

3. identify potential reinforcers in the respondents environment

4. break the desired behavior in small sub steps to be mastered sequentially

5. reinforce to reach desired behavior from behavior now

• number of errors decreases slowly for subjects receiving no reward

• when rewards are given following no reward, errors decrease dramatically

• number of errors decrease rapidly for subjects receiving reward

giving up, excepting conditions even when there is a solution (domestic abuse, mouse shock experiment)

learning by watching bobo doll experiment- watching aggressive behavior and mimic it

• good role models, condemn and avoid it

• spending less time with aggression

short term, remembering the most recent thing that was learned/ said

remembering things learned at the begging, in log term memory

1.encoding 2. storage 3. retrieval

large capacity taking in stimulus

limited capacity (about 7 things) aka working memory

nearly unlimited LTM goes back and forth with STM to be expressed verbally (reconsolidated)

LOOK AT NOTES LOOP

repeating to remember

explicit implicit

conscious aka declarative memory 2 branches

• episodic (remembering time and date of something like an episode

• semantic (remember something, just not when you learned it)

unconscious two branches

1. procedural memory- know how to do it and don't forget

2. classically conditioned memory- pairing

things closer together will prime and one will remember the right thing tip of the tongue

shallow and deep

recognition

LOOK AT NOTES

retrieval is easier when you are in the same external conditions as you were when you encoded your info

retrieval is easier when you are in the same state of mind as you were when you encoded it.
