Content: conditioned emotional response (CER)
emotional response that has become classically conditioned to occur to learned stimuli, such as a fear of dogs or the emotional reaction that occurs when seeing an attractive person. vicarious conditioning
classical conditioning of a reflex response or emotion by watching the reaction of another person. conditioned taste aversion
development of a nausea or aversive response to a particular taste because that taste was followed by a nausea reaction, occurring after only one association. biological preparedness
referring to the tendency of animals to learn certain association, such as taste and nausea, with only one or few pairings due to the survival value of the learning. stimulus substitution
original theory in which Pavlov stated that classical conditioning occurred because the conditioned stimulus became a substitute for the unconditioned stimulus by being paired closely together. cognitive perspective
modern theory in which classical conditioning is seen to occur because the conditioned stimulus provides information or an expectancy about the coming of the unconditioned stimulus. learning
- a long lasting change in behavior resulting from experience
-although learning is not the same as behavior, most psychologists accept that learning can best be measured through changes in behavior
ivan pavlov
- a russian physiologist who inadvertently discovered a kind of learning while studying digestion in dogs
- found that the dogs learned to pair the sounds in the environment where they were fed with the food that was given to them and began to salivate simply upon hearing the sounds
- Deduced the basic principle of classic conditioning. People and animals can learn to associate neutral stimuli (e.g., sounds) wiht stimuli that produce reflexive, involuntary responses (e.g., food) and will learn to respond similarly to the new stimulus as they did to the old one (e.g., salivate)
operant conditioning
the learning of voluntary behavior through the effects of pleasant and unpleasant and unpleasant consequences to responses. a kind of learning based on the association of consequences with one's behaviors
Edward Thorndike was one of the first people to research this kind of learning. B. F. Skinner coined the term operant conditioning, and studied this form of learning over his entire career
a kind of learning based n the association of consequences with one's beaviors
Thorndike put forth the law of effect that states that if the consequences of a behavior
