PSYC 181 Final: Final Study Guide-181 (2)
Document Summary
Study guide: final exam: define and identify the causes of behavior. Also, define topography: all behavior is due to a complex interaction between genetic influence and environmental experiences, typography: refers to the physical form or characteristics of the response. For example, the way that a rat presses a lever with the left paw, the hind right foot, and so on. The topography of response is related to the contingencies of reinforcement in the sense that the form of response can be broadened or restricted by the contingencies. The contingency of reinforcement may require only responses with the left paw rather than any response that activates the microswitch under these conditions left paw responses will predominate. When an unconditioned stimulus elicits an unconditioned response, the relationship is called reflex. That the s-r relation is unlearned/unconditioned means that the organism shows that relation without the necessity of any learning history.
