1006 Lecture Notes - Reinforcement, Rebar, The Automatic
Document Summary
A neutral stimulus is paired repeatedly with a stimulus that elicits an automatic response until the neutral stimulus alone comes to elicit a similar response: unconditioned stimulus. Elicits automatic response without conditioning: unconditioned response. The automatic, unlearned response: conditioned stimulus. The originally neutral stimulus that, through pairing, has come to elicit the conditioned response: conditioned response. The response that occurs as a result of presentation of the conditioned stimulus. Perceiving something (an object, situation ) as being more dangerous / threatening than it really is: development of paraphilias. Paraphilias: abnormal sexual attractions (cc is often used to explain it) Process through which an organism learns to respond to the environment in a way that produces positive consequences and avoids negative ones. Behaviour that has some effect: reinforcer. An event that increases the probability that the response that immediately preceded it will occur again. Stimulus/event that meets an organisms basic needs (ex: food)
