| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Shaping | complex behavior taught by reinforcing small successive steps |
| partial/intermittent reinforcement: | a behavior is only rewarded sometimes |
| continuous reinforcement | provides a reinforcer every time a desired behavior occurs |
| positive reinforcement | adds a positive stimulus |
| negative reinforcement | removes a negative stimulus |
| operant conditioning | conditioning where behavior is shaped by consequences (reinforcement & punishment) |
| Little Albert experiment | made a kid fear a white rat due to loud noise. Resulted in the kid being scared of other furry objects |
| B.F. Skinner | used the Skinner box to teach animals with punishment and reinforcement. Demonstrated shaping |
| classical conditioning | when an automatic response becomes associated with a previously neutral stimulus |
| Ivan Pavlov | demonstrated classical conditioning as dogs learned to associate the bell with food |
| Bobo Doll Experiment | experiment demonstrating how children learn aggression through observational learning and a doll |
| Observational Learning | learning new behaviors or skills by watching others & seeing the consequences of their actions without experience |
| modeling | learning by observing and imitating others |
| habituation | becoming accustomed or used to something |
| cognitive map | an internal, mental representation of one's environment |
| James-Lange Theory | emotions are the result of our interpretation of physiological responses to stimuli |
| Cannon-Bard Theory | proposes that emotional feelings and physiological arousal happen simultaneously and independently in response to a stimulus (one does not cause the other) |
| Schachter-Singer Theory | an emotion arises from two key components: physiological arousal and a cognitive label |
| Zajonc-LeDoux Theory | some emotional responses, particularly rapid fear reactions, happen before conscious thought |
| Yerkes-Dodson Law | performance increases with physiological or mental arousal (stress) but only up to an optimal point, after which performance decreases as arousal becomes excessive |
