Psy 263 Exam 4: Illinois State University correctly
answered to pass
1. Learning a process that expresses itself as an adaptive change in behavior that
results from experience
2. Memory the encoding, consolidation and retrieval of information about past
experiences. It is needed for learning to take place
3. "Flashbulb A type of memory that recalls important stressful events (e.g. 9/11 terrorist
Mem- ory"
attacks, Vegas shooting, etc)
-Could be more frequently rehearsed, or more strongly encoded
4. One-Trial
A type of learning where certain important information is learned very quickly
Learn- ing
(e.g. eating a new food that makes you sick, imprinting in baby animals,
etc.)
5. Sensation A stimulus that originally provoked little response, begins to invoke
greater re- sponses after repeated exposure (e.g. a loud noise makes
an animal more sensitive to slight noise)
6. Habituation getting used to your habitat (e.g. city squirrels vs. campus squirrels)
7. classical the learning of association between specific stimuli
condi-
-Ivan Pavlov
tioning
8. Acquisition Timing during conditioning
-Controlled Stimuli occurs before UnControlled Stimuli (CS is predictive;
contin- gency between CS and UCS)
-CS and UCS must occur closely together in time
-UCS before CS is unlikely to produce classical conditioning
9. Generalization the more SIMILAR a stimulus is to the CS, the MORE likely a
Conditioned Response will occur
10. Discrimination the more DIFFERENT a stimulus is to the CS, the LESS likely a CR will
occur
