Answer

🗑
habituation   show
🗑
associative learning   show
🗑
stimulus   show
🗑
show acquisition of mental info, whether by observing events, by watching others, or through language  
🗑
show a type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimulus and anticipate events  
🗑
behaviorism   show
🗑
show classical conditioning, stimulus elicits no response before conditioning  
🗑
unconditioned response (UR)   show
🗑
unconditioned stimulus (US)   show
🗑
conditioned response (CR)   show
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the initial state, linking neural stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus to the neural stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response in operant conditioning, the strength ig of a reinforced response  
🗑
higher-order conditioning   show
🗑
extinction   show
🗑
spontaneous recovery   show
🗑
show the tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for a stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses  
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a CS and stimuli that do not signal an US  
🗑
operant conditioning   show
🗑
show thorndike’s principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, behaviors followed by unfavorable become less likely  
🗑
show in operant conditioning research, chamber conditioning a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain reinforcer; attached devices record the animal’s rate of bar pressing or key pecking  
🗑
reinforcement   show
🗑
shaping   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, stimulus that elicits a response after association w/ reinforcement  
🗑
show increasing behaviors by presenting positive reinforcers, a positive reinforcer is any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response  
🗑
negative reinforcement   show
🗑
primary reinforcer   show
🗑
show a stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer  
🗑
reinforcement schedule   show
🗑
show reinforcing a response only part of the time; results in slower acquisition of a response but much greater resistance to extinction  
🗑
show in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified # of responses  
🗑
show reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response after an unpredictable # of responses  
🗑
fixed-interval schedule   show
🗑
variable- interval schedule   show
🗑
show an event that sends to decrease the behavior it follows  
🗑
show a system for electronically recording, amplifying, and feeding back into regarding a subtle physiological state, such as blood pressure or muscle tension  
🗑
respondent behavior   show
🗑
show behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences  
🗑
cognitive map   show
🗑
show learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it  
🗑
extrinsic motivation   show
🗑
insight   show
🗑

coping   show

🗑
internal locus of control   show
🗑
self-control   show
🗑
observational learning   show
🗑
show process of observing and imitating a specific behavior

🗑
pro social behavior   show
🗑
