| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Something that produces a reaction | Stimulus |
| A learned response to a stimulus that was previously meaningless | Conditional Response |
| the type of learning based on the consequences of an action | Latent |
| The type of learning that is acquired by watching and imitating others | Observational |
| Who pioneered research in classical conditioning | Ivan Pavlov |
| A persons mouth watering at the thought of a meal | Conditioned Response |
| A form of classical conditioning that can help people avoid illness is | Taste Aversion |
| Things that meet peoples basic need such as food are examples of | primary reinforcers |
| Reinforcers of a behavior each time the behavior occurs is called | continuous reinforcement |
| Which of the following describes a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement | Reinforcement is given after a fixed number of correct responses |
| What is operant conditioning | classroom discipline programmed learning |
| What type of learning involves cognitive factors | Latent Learning |
| Shaping | Someone reinforces small steps into the right direction |
| Simple form of learning in which one stimulus elicits the response usually elicited by another stimulus | classical conditioning |
| A stimulus that causes a response that is automatic not learned | unconditioned stimulus |
| An automatic response stimulus | unconditioned response |
| A stimulus that causes a response that is learned | Conditioned Stimulus |
| A learned response to a stimulus that was previously neutral | condititonal response |
| When the conditioned is disconnected from the unconditioned stimulus | extinction |
| Occurs when people respond in the same way to similar stimuli | Generalization |
| The act of responding differently to a stimuli | Discrimination |
| A method for reducing fears in which a person is continually exposed to the harmless stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus are extinguished | Flooding |
| A gradual method of reducing fears in which people are taught relaxation techniques | Systematic Desensitization |
| Method of reducing fears by repeatedly pairing a pleasant stimulus with a fearful one | counterconditioning |
| A form of learning based on the consequences of actions | Operant Conditioning |
| The process by which a stimulus increases the chances that the preceding behavior will occur again | Reinforcement |
| Reinforcers that increase the frequency of the behavior they follow when they are applied | Postive |
| Reinforcers that increase the frequency of the behavior they follow when they are removed | Negative |
| Unwanted events that decrease the frequency of the behavior they follow when they are applied | Punishment |
| Type of reinforcement in which behaviors is reinforced every time the behavior occurs | Continuous |
| Type of reinforcement in which behavior is not reinforced every time | Partial |
| Type of schedule in which a fixed amount of time elapses between reinforcements | Fixed Interval |
| Type of schedule in which varying amounts of time go by between reinforcements | Variable Interval |
| Type of schedule in which reinforcement is provided after a fixed number of correct responses have been made | Fixed Ratio |
| Type of schedule in which reinforcement is provided after a variable number of correct responses have been made | Variable Ratio |
| Learning that remains hidden until it is needed | Latent Learning |
