Neutral Stimulus

Uncondidtioned Stimulus

Unconditioned response

conditioned stimulus

conditioned response

neutral stimulus

just a general stimulus

unconditioned vs conditioned

unconditioned = unlearned behavior

conditioned = learned behavior

operant conditioning

learning to associate a specific behavior with a specific negative or positive outcome

positive reinforcement vs negative reinforcement

positive = reward

negative = taking away something unpleasant

positive punishment

giving something negative to the culprit (traffic ticket)

 

neagtive punishment

taking away something pleasant (money)

shaping

guiding behavior by rewarding each step

observational learning

the process of observing / mimicking an observed behavior

social and cognitive learning

the context that you live in has conditioned your habits

three stage memory model

sensory memory

short-term memory/working memory

long-term memory

sensory memory

immediate recording of all sensation

iconic vs echoic

visual vs auditory

short-term memory/working memory

frontal lobe

keeping the topic of convo in memory

affected by stress

KEY: manipulation of information

long term memory

implicit and explicit

implicit long term memory

non-declarative, non-conscious

explicit long term memory

declarative, conscious recollection

encoding

what is needed is immediately transferred to short term / working memory

encoding strategies

chunking

mnmonics

hierarchies

storage

short term storage and long term

spacing effect

better rentention and recall if you use the same amount of study time spread out over may shorter sessions

emotional stamp

emotions trigger adrenaline

triggers release of norepinephrine in amygdala

increases memory forming activity in hippocampus and engages the frontal lobes and basal ganglia to "tag" the memories as important

retrieval

free recall - hardest

cued recall - simple association

recognition - multiple-choice tests

forgetting and memory distortions

incorporating misleading information into the memory of an event

eyewitness testimonies

misinformation effect

repressed memories

motivated forgetting

make consiocus act to bury unpleasant memories

motivated forgetting

choosing to forget or change our memories

problem solving is what

thinking

thinking concepts

trial and error

algorithms

heuristics

insight problem solving

algorythims

step by step procedure

unscrambling letters

heuristics

rule of thumb

top down processing

error prone

fast

insight problem solving

the "AHA" moment

thinking prototypes

wiriting down first thing that comes to mind

good: they let us process info and communicate quickly and efficiently

bad: self centric - lot of assumption based on your own experience

availability bias

using what comes first to your mind to problem solve

theories of language acquisition

behaviorist

nativist

interactionist

neurological

behavioursit theory

association

imitation

reinforcement

nativist theory

language is native

every language has grammar and rules that it follows

interactionist perspective

nature / nurture interact in language development

we are predisposed to learn a language but w assumption that we'll be exposed to it in our childhood

neurological perspective

we have 2 brain regions responsible for language

both in left hemisphere
