Explain the process of extinction. Extinction results from removal of source of learning Certain reinforcement schedules are susceptible to extincion. Discuss the relationship between spontaneous recovery, external disinhibition, and extinction. Hebb thought of learning as a permanent facilitation of conductance in and between cell assemblies to form phase sequences. Once a neural connection is made it is more likely to respond.
Cognitions represent abstract processes of learning, thinking, perceiving etc.
Explain place learning, latent learning, and insight learning. Place learning represents the development of a spatial awareness or cognitive map versus series of conditioned or reinforced responses. Latent learning demonstrates that learning can take place even though the behavior is not reinforced. They were probably still developing the spatial awareness. Insight is the ability to perceive previously unseen relationships.
