The acquisition of new knowledge, skills, or responses from experience that results in a relatively permanent change in the state of the learner. A condition in which learning takes place by watching the actions of others. Conditioning in which a CS is paired with a stimulus that became associated with the US in an earlier procedure. A reflexive reaction that is reliably produced by an unconditioned stimulus. An operant conditioning principle in which reinforcement is delivered after a specific number of responses have been made. A previously neutral stimulus that produces a reliable response in an organism after being paired with a US. Any stimulus or event that functions to decrease the likelihood of the behavior that led to it. The CR is observed even though the CS is slightly different from the CS used during acquisition. Any stimulus or event that functions to increase the likelihood of the behavior that led to it. An operant conditioning principle in which the delivery of reinforcement is based on a particular average number of responses. Something that reliably produces a naturally occurring reaction in an organism. Learning that takes place largely independent of awareness of both the process and the products of information acquisition. The capacity to distinguish between similar but distinct stimuli. Behaviors that are followed by a "satisfying state of affairs" tend to be repeated and those that produce an "unpleasant state of affairs" are less likely to be repeated. A simple form of learning that occurs when presentation of a stimulus leads to an increased response to a later stimulus. The gradual elimination of a learned response that occurs when the CS is repeatedly presented without the US. A propensity for learning particular kinds of associations over others. Something is learned, but it is not manifested as a behavioral change until sometime in the future. The phase of classical conditioning when the CS and the US are presented together. A general process in which repeated or prolonged exposure to a stimulus results in a gradual reduction in responding. The tendency of a learned behavior to recover from extinction after a rest period. An operant conditioning principle in which only some of the responses made are followed by reinforcement. A reaction that resembles an unconditioned response but is produced by a conditioned stimulus. An operant conditioning principle in which behavior is reinforced based on an average time that has expired since the last reinforcement. Learning that results from the reinforcement of successive steps to a final desired behavior. An operant conditioning principle in which reinforcers are presented at fixed- The fact that operant behaviors that are maintained under intermittent reinforcement schedules resist extinction better than those maintained under continuous reinforcement. A mental representation of the physical features of the environment. A type of learning in which the consequences of an organism's behavior determine whether it will be repeated in the future. Behavior that an organism produces that has some impact on the environment. |
