learning
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Classical Conditioning | used through reflective, automatic type activities Ivan Pavlov |
| Operant Conditioning | seeking rewards and avoiding punishment B.F skinner |
| Modeling | mostly informal observations made throughout life Albert Bandura |
| Unconditioned / Conditioned stimulus | a stimulus that leads to a certain behavior without previous training |
| Unconditioned / Conditioned response | a response that occurs naturally and automatically when UCS is presented |
| Neutral Stimulus | something completely unrelated to UCS and UCR |
| Generalization | when subject responds to second stimulus as it did the first |
| Discrimination | the ability to respond differently to different stimuli |
| Extinction | the conditioned response eventually dies out |
| Reinforcement Definition | anything that increases the probability that a given response will occur again |
| Positive Reinforcement | anything that is added to the situation that increases the probability that the response will occur again |
| Negative Reinforcement | painful or unpleasant stimulus is removed of not applied if certain behavior occurs. the removal increases the behavior to happen again |
| Punishment | anything that decreases the probability that the given response will occur again |
| Fixed-Interval | reinforcement occurs after a specified amount of time |
| Fixed-Ratio | reinforcement that depend on the number of responses number stays consistent |
| Variable-Ratio | reinforcement is based on the number of correct responses, but varies in the number (most effective) |
| Variable-Interval | the amount of time between reinforcement changes each time |
| General Modeling: | the more you are around someone the more likely you are to act like them |
| Observational Learning | Pure Imitation Ex: watching a youtube video to learn to knit. |
| Disinhibition | used in clinical settings to work with phobias |
| Three factors that influence learning | feedback, transfer(positive when old knowledge helps learn a new skill and negative when old knowledge makes it hard to learn a new skill), practice |
| Learned Helplessness | someone feels like no matter what they do it wont change so they stop trying |
| Learned Laziness | if rewards come without effort |
