psych study guide 2
learning in which a stimulus is associated with an event
classical conditioning
latent learning is a type of cognitive learning because it cannont be explained by simple stimuluses and responses in the environment
T
neural networks are used for encoding categories of semantic information
T
on average wer lose memories from befor the ages of 3-4
T
the amygdala is important for emotional memories, because it promotes the encoding of contextual details
T
attention
how info is convertered from sensory to a short-term memory; is like a spotlight
time
how info is lost from long-term memory; also called transience
unattended info
how info is lost in sensory memory
unrehearsed info
how info is lost in short-term memory
cells that fire together wire together best explains which process?
long-term porentiation
retrieval
pulling info out of long-term and into working memory to operate on it
maintenance rehearsal
repetition of info; keeps info in short m,emory
in this type of learning, repeatedly presenting a stimulus causes an increased response?
sensitization
implicit memory
memory that cannot be verbalized
in consolidation, memory is moving from the hippocsampus into more permanent
T
in consolidation, the hippocampus can be thought of as a recipe: the more that memory is accessed, the less you need to refer back to it
T
sensory memory
a memory for everything in our enviroment that last for one second or less
procedural memory
an example is knowing how to drive or ride a bike
in this theory of emotion physiological arousal and phychological emotions occur simultaneously
cannon-bard
in classical conditioning, the neutral stimulus becomes this after being paired with the unconditioned stimulus
conditioned stimulus
which of the following did the lil albert experiments not demonstrate
emotions could be conditioned
semantic memory
general world knowlegde, knowing what happened
short-term memory
holds 7 digits or so for more than a few seconds but less than a few minutes
explicit memory
memory that can be verbalized
in operant conditioning this is the removal of a stimulus
negative
in this type of learning the organism is learning to associate a behavior with a significant event
operant conditioning
an example of this is spanking a child in order to make him swear less
positive punishment
in operant conditioning, this increases the likelihood of a behavior
reinforcer
episodic memory
remembering event that happened, autobiographical memory
following the pause in a conditioned stimulus being presented without an unconditioned stimulus the organism will show a tendency for a learned behavior to recover from extinction know as?
spontaneous recovery
encoding
transforming info into a long term memory
in classical conditioning, this always produces a reflexive response. there is no learning required
unconditioned stimulus
this is the most addictive type of learning because its unpredictable: behavior is reinforced after an average number of responses?
variable ratio
according to the forgetting curve, most transience occurs?
within the first four hours
