Unit #7 Psychology: Learning Test

What is learning?

• A paradigmatic shift in cognitive frameworks that occurs when an individual's prior knowledge is completely eradicated.
• A dialectical process in which the thesis of ignorance is synthesized with the antithesis of knowledge to produce a higher level of confusion.
• Process of acquiring through experience new information or behaviors
• A form of cultural assimilation in which individuals abandon their unique perspectives and experiences to conform to societal norms.
• A neuroscientific phenomenon in which the brain's neural pathways are completely rewired to prioritize memorization over critical thinking.

What are the 2 ways in which we learn? (Select 2)

• Kinesthetic Learning:
• Cognitive Learning Theory:
• Classical Conditioning
• Cognitive Conditioning
• Operant Conditioning

Identify: A stimulus that unconditionally—naturally and automatically—triggers an unconditioned response (UR)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
• Neutral Stimulus (NS)
• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
• Conditioned Response (CR)
• Unconditioned Response (UR)

Identify:A learned response to a previously neutral but now conditioned stimulus (CS)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
• Neutral Stimulus (NS)
• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
• Conditioned Response (CR)
• Unconditioned Response (UR)

Identify:An originally neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
• Neutral Stimulus (NS)
• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
• Conditioned Response (CR)
• Unconditioned Response (UR)

Identify:An unlearned,naturally occurring response (such as salivation) to an unconditioned stimulus (US) (such as food in the mouth)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
• Neutral Stimulus (NS)
• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
• Conditioned Response (CR)
• Unconditioned Response (UR)

Identify:A stimulus that unconditionally—naturally and automatically—triggers an unconditioned response (UR)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
• Neutral Stimulus (NS)
• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
• Conditioned Response (CR)
• Unconditioned Response (UR)

Identify Initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response

• Conditioning
• Generalization
• Acquisition
• Learning
• Stimulus

Identify: A procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus

• Higher-Order Conditioning
• Classical Conditioning
• Acquisition
• Generalization
• Operant Conditioning

Identify: Diminishing of a conditioned response. Occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS)

• Higher-Order Conditioning
• Classical Conditioning
• Extinction
• Generalization
• Acquisition
