Question
Answer
UCR ( Uncondtioned response)   show
🗑
UCS   show
🗑
show a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (NS/CS)  
🗑
NS/CS   show
🗑
Behvior Order-   show
🗑
show Ivan Pavlov (pavlovs dogs) and John B Watson (Little Albert)  
🗑
Classical Conditioned Definition   show
🗑
show When a behavior, such as a conditioned response, has been learned.  
🗑
show the gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response tendency, it involves repeatedly presenting the CS without pairing it with the UCS  
🗑
show the reappearance of a previously extinguished response after a period of non-exposure  
🗑
Stimulus Generalization   show
🗑
show CS functions as if it were an UCS (tone -> red light)  
🗑
show occurs when stimuli similar to the CS do not result in a CR  
🗑
Stimulus contiguity   show
🗑
show .5 - 1 sec pairing is optimal  
🗑
show Belief that we operate in our environment. It is based on consequences. Behavior is based on type of consequences that occur after the behavior  
🗑
show Thorndike- the law of effect. behaviors are encouraged when they are followed by satisfying consequences  
🗑
show Influencing the likelihood of a response by controlling the consequences of the response, the focus is on voluntary behaviors rather than involuntary reflexive behaviors which helps to explain more human behaviors!  
🗑
Positive Reinforcement   show
🗑
show Behavior prevents, removes or avoids an undesired stimulus, this also makes the behavior more likely to occur (Example- If my son brings in the recycle bins I will stop nagging him)  
🗑
show Escape and Avoidance  
🗑
Escape   show
🗑
show Examples: take Dramamine before flying, taking Tumms before eating spicy foods to avoid tummy ache, drink lots of water prior to an athletic contest to avoid dehydration  
🗑
show adding a factor to increase the likelihood of the desired behavior.  
🗑
Negative Reinforcement PT2   show
🗑
show both strategies aim to increase the likelihood of desired behaviors  
🗑
show Behavior is followed by an aversive (not liked) stimulus. Make behavior LESS likely to occur.  
🗑
Example of positive punishment   show
🗑
Negative punishment (Also known as omission training)   show
🗑
show when a child misbehaves, a parent can take away a favorite toy. In this case, a stimulus (the toy) is removed in order to decrease the behavior.  
🗑
Simply putting punishment and reinforcement...   show
🗑
Weakening behavior/response   show
🗑
PR   show
🗑
show removing an aversive stimulus  
🗑
What are the problems with punishment   show
🗑
B. F Skinner   show
🗑
Primary reinforcer   show
🗑
show Conditioned reinforcement - $, good grades, attention, praise  
🗑
Shaping   show
🗑
show response no longer followed by reinforcer, brief surge and then gradual decline  
🗑
Generalization   show
🗑
Discrimination   show
🗑
Continuous reinforcement   show
🗑
show the delivery of a reward at irregular intervals. The subject does not receive a reward each time they perform a desired behavior or according to any regular schedule but at seemingly random intervals.  
🗑
Delayed reinforcement   show
🗑
Resistance to reinforcement   show
🗑
show a stimulus that when it is present, generates a particular response and the response is usually faster, more frequent, and more resistant to extinction  
🗑
Learned helplessness   show
🗑
show Fixed Ratio, Variable Ratio, Fixed Interval, Variable Interval  
🗑
show The fixed ratio schedule involves using a constant number of responses. Example- a child must do five chores before receiving an allowance, so the child conducts 5 chores knowing they will receive their compensation.  
🗑
Variable Ratio   show
🗑
show a set amount of time between occurrences of something like a reward. Example- a monthly review at work, a teacher giving a reward for good behavior each class, and a weekly paycheck.  
🗑
show involve reinforcement of a target behavior after an interval of time has passed. Example- when someone waits for an elevator.  
🗑
Instinctive drift   show
🗑
Biological Predisposition   show
🗑
Taste Aversion   show
🗑
show strongly believe that learning occurs without thought! Expectation vs Cognizant  
🗑
show Revised Contiguinity Model. suggest that expectation and thought strongly influence influence learning  
🗑
Obersvational learning   show
🗑
show Vicarious conditioning – that is classical and operant conditioning take place indirectly through observational learning Tendencies are strengthened if the models response leads to a favorable outcome  
🗑
what are the 4 key processes in observational learning   show
🗑
show Children exposed to aggressive model imitated the models behavior. aggression can be learned through observation  
🗑
Edward Toleman's Latent Learning Experience   show
🗑
show Chimpanzees solved problems suddenly rather than gradually. Nonhuman animals are capable of insight  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
