Learning is for Dogs
Classical conditioning: Form of learning where one stimulus calls forth the response usually called by another stimulus
Conditioned response (CR): Learned response to a stimulus that was previously neutral or meaningless
Extinction: When the conditioned stimulus is no longer followed by an unconditioned response, it loses its ability to bring a conditioned response
Reinforcement: The process by which a stimulus increases the chances that the preceding behavior will occur again
Punishment: Unwanted events that, when they are applied, decrease the frequency of the behavior they follow
Observational learning: Knowledge and skills that are acquired by observing and imitating others, consequences i.e. vicarious reinforcement
|
Unconditioned stimulus (US): Stimulus that causes a response that is automatic and not learned
Conditioned stimulus (CS): Previously neutral stimulus that because of pairing with an unconditioned response, now causes a conditioned response
Spontaneous recovery: Displaying responses that were extinguished earlier, revival of the response follows a period in which the conditioned response does not occur
Positive reinforcement: Increases the frequency of the behavior they follow, a person receives something they want following the behavior
Programmed learning: Combination of shaping and chaining in which a subject completes a task by completing each step i.e. student passing a course
|
Unconditioned response (UR): The automatic response to unconditioned stimulus
Neutral stimulus (NS): Stimulus that has no association to a response
Generalization: Responding the same way to similar stimuli
Discrimination: The act of responding differently to stimuli that are not similar to each other
Negative reinforcement: Increases the frequency of the behavior that follows when they are removed, something unwanted stops following the behavior
Latent learning: Learning is conducted unconsciously, knowledge is hidden until needed i.e. places, driving

Create a "Learning is for Dogs" page for "Unit 4". Include at least 10 concepts that relate to conditioning. Make sure to include elements that are classical, operant, and social. Include a picture of each concept and a one-sentence description of how that concept impacts behavior.
