Review for AP Test - Unit 4 Learning

Relatively permanent change in an organisms behavior due to experience

Defined: learn by putting together two events; Example: Expect to hear thunder after viewing lightening

Contribution: developed the theory of "classical conditioning" while working with dogs; Significance: Father of Classical Conditioning

Contribution: applies Classical Conditioning to Humans through the "Little Albert" Experiment; Significance: Creates "Behaviorism" Theory

Contributions: Invented the Operant chamber, aka his ________ box, to use in his research of animal learning.; Significance: Father & Developer of Operant Conditioning

Contribution: Studied how children mimic others behaviors and repeat that same behavior; Significance: Creates "Observational Learning" Theory

Contribution: studied cats in puzzle boxes and recorded their behaviors; Significance: Creates "Law of Effect" theory

Contribution: Demonstrated the significance of biological processes in classical conditioning; Significance: Creates "Taste Aversions" theory

First experiment that created and demonstrate the theory of classical conditioning

First experiment to demonstrate how emotions can be classically conditioned in humans; Provides a foundation for the "Behaviorism Theory"

Learning that takes place when two or more stimuli are paired together; UCS = UCR; NS + UCS = UCR; & CS = CR

a theory that made psychology an objective science by making it based on observable (and only observable) events, not the unconscious or conscious mind.

Part of Classical Conditioning; It is the stimulus that triggers a natural reflexive response.; Pavlov's Dogs: "Meat"; Little Albert: "Loud noise"

Part of Classical Conditioning; It is the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the stimulus; Pavlov's Dogs: It was the "Salivating to the Meat"; Little Albert: "Screaming at the Loud Noise"

Part of Classical Conditioning; It initially has no effect but after conditioning, it triggers a natural reflexive response.; Pavlov's Dogs: It was the "Bell"; Little Albert: "White Mouse"
