PSYC 1001 Study Guide - Final Guide: Classical Conditioning, Echoic Memory, Sensory Memory
Document Summary
Learning- the process of acquiring through experience new information or behavior. Associative learning- learning that events occur together: classical conditioning: associate two stimuli, operant conditioning: associate a response and a consequence. Stimulus- any events or situation that evokes a response. Respondent behavior- behavior that occurs as an automatic response. Operant behavior- behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences. Cognitive learning- the acquisition of mental information. Classical conditioning (cc)- a type of learning in which one learns to link two stimuli and anticipate events. Behaviorism- view that psychology 1) should be an objective science that 2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Neutral stimulus (ns)- stimulus elicits no response before conditioning. Unconditioned stimulus (us)- cc, stimulus that natural or automatically triggers an unconditioned response. Unconditioned response (ur)- cc, unlearned response that naturally occurs to a us. Conditioned stimulus (cs)- cc, an originally irrelevant stimulus that after association with a.
