Varies depending on the learner Counter- Conditioned Stimulus - Answer ️️ -A stimulus/response that has a new, redefined meaning than previously learned Sensitization - Answer ️️ -To become hyper aware or responsive to a stimulus Desensitization - Answer ️️ -To become less aware/sensitive of a stimulus through a protocol or intentional practice Adaptation - Answer ️️ -Physical/sensory systems have been fatigued Habituation - Answer ️️ -To become less aware/sensitive to a stimulus through "been there, done that" and stimulus was/is always present in full force. Overlearning - Answer ️️ -Practicing until lesson is understood no matter how information is presented Poisoned Cue - Answer ️️ -When negative association has been attached to a cue Eustress - Answer ️️ -"Good" stress--learner is primed and ready to engage in learning, is a pleasant state of arousal Distress - Answer ️️ -"Bad" stress--learner is overwhelmed and overloaded with stress hormones Consequences of distress - Answer ️️ -dogs will show calming signals, have lowered problem- solving ability Elicited behavior - Answer ️️ -involuntary/reflexive/emotional behavior What type of training can be used to change behavior that is elicited? - Answer ️️ -Classical Conditioning Emitted behavior - Answer ️️ -A voluntary choice behavior When training through operant learning/conditioning we are looking for - Answer ️️ -Emitted Behavior Extinction definition - Answer ️️ -Decreasing/extinguishing (frequency) of a conditioned behavior by removing reinforcement Extinction Burst definition - Answer ️️ -Where behavior increases in frequency/intensity early during extinction Spontaneous Recovery definition - Answer ️️ -"backsliding" in recover/extinction What is the Premack Principle - Answer ️️ -A more likely behavior can reinforce a less likely behavior Grandma's Law - Answer ️️ -AKA Premack Principle "Eat your peas and then you can have ice cream" is an example of using the ____________ - Answer ️️ -Premack Principle Torndike's Law of Effect - Answer ️️ -Behaviors are more likely to be repeated if they lead to a satisfying consequence, and less likely to be repeated if they lead to an unsatisfying consequence Torndike's Law of Effect states that (3 parts) - Answer ️️ -1) Learning is incremental 2)Learning can occur via trail and error 3) "Use it or lose it!"
