What is the response?
The part of the experiment that remains the same no matter the stimulus

What is punishment?
Another word for negative reinforcement
100
What is behaviorist learning theory?
The learning theory that uses classical and operant conditioning
100
What is g?
This it the variable used to discuss intelligence as general, broad ability
200
What is a dendrite?
The part of the neuron responsible for receiving signals (not the soma - what comes off that?)

300
What is neuroplasticity?
The ability of the brain to form and reorganize synaptic connections, especially in response to learning or experience or following injury.
300
What is the conditioned stimulus/CS?
The bell in the Pavlov experiment
300
What is continuous reinforcement?
A reinforcement that occurs after every response
300
What is cognitive learning theory?
"Chunking" and mnemonic devices could be techniques used to learn in this learning theory
300
What is spatial intelligence?
This type of intelligence could be helpful if you lose your GPS
400
What is saltatory conduction?
The type of conduction that occurs when the myelin sheath is present - means "jumping"
400
Who is Little Albert?
John Watson's study participant who was subjected to unfair fear generalization from a conditioning experiment with rats

What is the variable ratio reinforcement schedule?
The type of reinforcement schedule that might, for example, occur every 5, 8, 12, and then 27 trials
400
What is cognitive learning theory?
In his theory on development - which has informed this type of learning theory - Jean Piaget described how children learn about object permanence and conservation at different ages

What is spontaneous recovery?
When the participant suddenly recovers a conditioned response following the stimulus after a period of extinction
500
What are fixed reinforcement schedules?
These types of reinforcement schedules are more likely to bursts and lulls of activity surrounding the reward rather than continuous activity
500
What is the constructivist learning theory?
This learning theory which best accounts for top-down and bottom-up processing of information

What is the growth mindset?
People with this mindset are better at estimating their own performance and ability
