Question
Answer
operant conditioning   show
🗑
respondent behavior   show
🗑
operant behavior   show
🗑
show Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and that behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely.  
🗑
operant chamber   show
🗑
show an operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior.  
🗑
reinforcer   show
🗑
positive reinforcement   show
🗑
negative reinforcement   show
🗑
show an innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need.  
🗑
conditioned reinforcer   show
🗑
continuous reinforcement   show
🗑
show reinforcing a response only part of the time; results in slower acquisition of a response but much greater resistance to extinction than does continuous reinforcement.  
🗑
punishment   show
🗑
show a mental representation of the layout of one's environment. For example, after exploring a maze, rats act as if they have learned a cognitive map of it.  
🗑
latent learning   show
🗑
show a desire to perform a behavior for its own sake.  
🗑
show a desire to perform a behavior due to promised rewards or threats of punishment.  
🗑
observational learning   show
🗑
show the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior.  
🗑
mirror neurons   show
🗑
show positive, constructive, helpful behavior. The opposite of antisocial behavior.  
🗑
show in classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally—naturally and automatically—triggers a response.  
🗑
show in classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response.  
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS).  
🗑
unconditioned response   show
🗑
show a relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience.  
🗑
associative learning   show
🗑
show a type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli. A neutral stimulus that signals an unconditioned stimulus (US) begins to produce a response that anticipates and prepares for the unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
behaviorism   show
🗑
show the initial stage in classical conditioning; the phase associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus comes to elicit a conditioned response.  
🗑
extinction   show
🗑
show the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response.  
🗑
generalization   show
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
