priming pavlovian conditioning & skills/habits/operant conditioning - 5

priming tasks:

you don't have to say what you've seen, just the first thing that pops into your head

pavlovian conditioning:

a type of conditioned learning which occurs b/c subjects instinctive responses

if light predicts shock, & there is no way to avoid the shock

pavlovian or operant?

pavlovian conditioning

operant conditioning

method of learning that employs rewards & punishments for behavior. certain responses can earn or prevent outcomes ( it is in the animals control ).

if light predicts shock & there is some response that can cause the shock to be avoided

pavlovian or operant?

operant conditioning

if a lever is extended & the subject needs to be press to receive food

pavlovian or operant?

operant conditioning

ex.

I compliment someone so that they'll give me candy

goal-directed or habit learning?

goal-directed

ex.

saying "you too" when someone says something nice to you

goal directed or habit learning?

habit learning

operant conditioning: habit learning & goal-directed systems rely on different parts of the what?

dorsal striatum (caudate & putamen)

events --- pavlovian conditioning

unconditioned stimulus (US):

in classical conditioning, a stimulus that naturally elicits a specific response ( usually emotional response )

unconditioned response (UR):

in classical conditioning, an innate response that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus

conditioned stimulus (CS):

an initially neutral stimulus that develops the capacity to elicit a conditioned response after it has paired w/an unconditioned stimulus

conditioned response (UR):

the response that is elicited by a conditioning has taken place

several pavlovian conditioning procedures & types of learning

1. learning about cues that predict food
2. taste aversions
3. learning about cues that predict unpleasant events

taste aversion:

consumption of food followed by illness caused a reduction in subsequent consumption of that food

fear conditioning:

occurs when an initially neutral stimulus (like a tone) is paired w/an aversive outcome (like shock) & the stimulus can eventually cause a fear reaction

fear conditioning is _______

adaptive

fear conditioning measures in humans:

SCR (skin conductance response) & fear - potentiated state

amygala:

receives info about all sensory modalities (including pain), has outputs to areas that can be defensive motor responses, stress hormone release, inhibit pain

eyeblink conditioning example:

tone --- puff of air to eye

○ subject begins to blink before puff of air arrives

habit learning & skill learning require what?

basal ganglia
