Operant Conditioning

Psychology

QuestionAnswer
Operant Conditioning Leaning in which a certain behavior is reinforced or punished, resulting in corresponding increases or decreases in occurrence.
Reinforcement Stimulus or even that follows a response and increases the likelihood that the response will be repeated.
Ratio Schedule Can be variable or fixed - Reinforcement given immediately after responses. In variable it is after a different number of desired responses, in fixed it is after the same number of responses every time.
Interval Schedule Can be variable or fixed-reinforcement given after an amount of time, either a fixed amount of time or a variable amount of time.
Shaping Technique is which the desired behavior is "molded" by first rewarding any act similar to that behavior and then requiring ever-closer approximations to the desired behavior before giving the reward.
Response Chain Learned reactions that follow one another in sequence, each reaction producing the signal for the next.
Aversive Control Process of influencing behavior by means of unpleasant stimuli.
Negative Reinforcement Increasing the strength of a given response by removing or preventing an undesired stimulus when the response occurs.
Escape Conditioning Training of an organism to remove or terminate an unpleasant stimulus.
Punishment An unpleasant consequences that occurs and decreases the frequency of the behavior that produced it.
Classical Conditioning A type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to a elicit an unconditioned response when that neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that normally causes an unconditioned response.
Unconditioned Stimulus (US) Is a stimulus that causes a response that is automatic, not learned.
Unconditioned Response (UR) Automatic response of the unconditioned stimulus.
Conditioned response (CR) Is a learned response to a stimulus that was previously neutral, or meaningless.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS) A learned Stimulus.
