Hot List Psych 222 Sept 24, 2000

1)   Advantage and disadvantages of closed and open systems

2)   Konrad Lorenz and imprinting

3)   SS-IRM-FAP (taxes etc)

4)   General process theory of learning

5)   Single stimulus effect

6)   Nonassociative learning

7)   Habituation and sensitization (as control groups)

8)   Contingency of associative learning

9)   CS.CR,UR,US

10) Extinction, spontaneous recovery and explanation

11) Taste aversion learning and unique characteristics

12) Variables that effect conditioning, ISI, frequency,

Fusability, intensity and contingency

13) What is learning and what it is not

14) Habituation with examples

15) Sensitization with examples

16) Learning/definition and what it is not (repeat)

17) instinct

18) Stimulus learning, signalization, anticipatory, Pavlovian, Classical

19) Describe classical conditioning with examples using CS, UCS, UCR,

CR(repeat)

10) Control Groups for Pavlovian conditioning: pseudoconditioning, sensitization, and random pairing (repeat)

11) Inhibition: internal, delay, latent, external, disinhibition, conditioned, latent

12) Parameters of Pavlovian conditioning and how manipulation of such influences the strength of the CR (ISI  (trace, backward, forward simultaneous, and temporal), ITI, Intensity). (repeat)

13) Spontaneous recovery: what does this say about complete CR elimination

14) Partial reinforcement during acquisition and extinction and ramifications

15) Derivatives of Pavlovian conditioning: sensory preconditioning and higher order conditioning. Be able to design a SPC or HOC study with appropriate controls

16) Kamin blocking effect

17) What is all this ranting about contingency and learning. What about his .5 nonsense. Know the study that demonstrates the importance of contingency over contiguity

18) Absolutely know every detail of Lavin’s flavor SPC study including controls and not expt 2 and 3.

19) Learned helplessness in Pavlovian conditioning

20) Counterconditioning and conditioned suppression

21) overshadowing or latent inhibition

22) Know Siegel et al and Pre-drug stimuli and conditioned analgesis. Major ramifications and applications. Know his 2X22 design and results of every cell. (Krank, Seegal, and Hinson)

25)Biological constraints on Pavlovian learning: what does it mean, equipotentiality, general process learning theory, continuum of preparedness, flavor aversion learning with control, what is the major message here that Pavlov overlooked. Why did I bring my dog to class.

26) Applications: By the time of the test we will have overdosed you with numerous examples of how Pavlovian conditioning is being applied. I will have given you at least 6 and the class will have give 6. Know at least 12 applications.

27) Bright, noisy sweet H20 experiment. Garcia and Koelling (1966). Results and ramifications.

28) SPC, HOC, overshadowing (repea)

29) Rescorla’s hurdle jump experiment with helplessness ramifications

30) If I were you I would avoid the Rescorla/Wagner moder

More for grad learning

 

31) neophobia

33) give me some  reflexes (uCS-UCR)

34) examples of therapeutic classical  conditioning like systematic desensitization

35) take me seriously here, you will here and have heard more than several examples of Pavlovian application coming from my lectures and from you fellow student presentations. Know a bundle of examples in detail.
