Psych 1000 WMU Exam 3 Final
Questions and All Correct Answers.
Reflexes - Answer fast, simple, and irreflexible- involuntary
pain reflexes - Answer pull you out of situations
instincts - Answer inborn patterns of behavior elicited by environmental stimuli
-more complex than reflexes
William james argued - Answer humans have more instincts than animals
learning - Answer a relatively permanent change in behavior of the capacity for behavior
that occurs due to experience
-any new behavior that you learn to do is based off recourses and stimuli in the environment
types of learning - Answer -non associative
-habituation
-sensitization
-stimulus
non associative learning - Answer -involves habituation and sensitization
habituation - Answer ex: sleeping over and feeling jumpy, nervous, less secure
sensitization - Answer increases our reactions to a strong stimulus, creating exposure to one
strong stimulus
stimulus - Answer ex: hurricane
might not feel that same as you were before
associative learning - Answer occurs when we form connections among stimuli and/or other
behavior
-helps us to predict the future from past experiences
, classical conditioning - Answer Ex: outside and a bee stung you from now on your gonna run
from the bee
operant conditioning - Answer associations between behaviors and their consequences
observational learning - Answer occurs when an organism learns by modeling the actions of
another
unconditioned stimulus - Answer a stimulus that naturally and reliably evokes a response
neutral stimulus - Answer a stimulus that does not initially elicit the unconditioned response
conditioned stimulus - Answer a stimulus that was once neutral but, through association
with the US, now elicits a response
conditioned response - Answer after conditioning has occurred the response that is elicited
by the conditioned response
generalization - Answer you have acquired a certain response
ex: a child has a fear of bees because of being stung, and can have a fear of wasps or yellow
jackets...
discrimination - Answer judgement of something
ex: knowing the bee will still sting you versus a fly
extinction - Answer the repeated presentation of the conditioned response results in the
cessation of the conditioned response, thus it extinguishes it
spontaneous recovery - Answer temporary return of an extinguished response after a delay
ex: dog starts salivating again after hearing bell and remembers it was paired with food
taste aversion - Answer the types of stimuli as conditioned and unconditioned stimuli do
matter
latent inhibition - Answer takes more time to learn about familiar conditioned stimulus that
an unfamiliar conditioned stimulus
