continuity of species
Looking for ways in which different species are simila
learning
adding new behavior to the repertoire of the organism that produces a relatively permanent change in behavior
charles darwin
created the continuity of species theory
structure
what it looks like
function
what it does
parsimony
the simplest explanation for something
determinism
behavior determined by some combination of genetic and environmental factors
materialism
 behavior and its caused can be manipulated, measured, and observed
overt
behaviors are visible and can be measured
covert
 behaviors are internal and hidden processes
stimuli
the properties of the environment
responses
the properties of a behavior
operant behavior
behavior is controlled by antecedent and consequences (ABC relations)Â
operations
the independent variable
processes
the dependent variable
anthropomorphism
attribution of human traits to non-human entities
fixed action patterns
sequence of behavior that is built in at birth
discriminative stimulus
it signals the effective forms of reinforcement
discriminative learning
to behave only when the discriminative stimulus is presented
emitted behavior
behavior reflecting an individuals internal state and motivation
elicited behavior
behavior produced by a response to external stimuli or cues
establishing operations (EO)
altering the effectiveness of some stimulus as a consequence for behavior
deprivation
lack of food as a reinforcer
satiation
addition of food as a reinforcer
unconditional stimulus
a stimulus that elicits a reflex without prior history
unconditional response
response that occurs following the unconditional stimulus
Neutral stimulus
stimulus with no effect
conditional stimulus
was a neutral stimulus, but now elicits a response
conditional response
response that is learned
respondent conditioning
neutral stimulus becomes an unconditional stimulus
extinction
presenting the conditioned stimulus without the unconditional stimulus
delayed conditioning
conditional stimulus is presented for a period of times before the unconditioned stimulus and they may overlap
simultaneous conditioning
the conditional stimulus and unconditioned stimulus overlap at the same time
backward conditioning
the unconditioned stimulus is presented before the conditioned stimulus
trace conditioning
the conditioned stimulus is presented for a delay, then the unconditioned stimulus is presented
natural selection
differential survival of a members population
reflexive behavior
features passed on during evolution
artificial selection
features of animals and plants being selected in breeding of animals
charles darwin (1859)
the origin of species book
blue print
a representation/copy
recipe
a sequence of procedures/instructions
phylogenic selection
selection over the evolutionary history of a species
ontogenic slection
selection that occurs within the lifetime of an organism
cultural selection
selection of behaviors as passed from one organism to another
meme
idea spread from person to person in culture coined by Richard Dawkins
