Question
Answer
Learning   show
🗑
Habituation   show
🗑
show Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequences (as in operant conditioning).  
🗑
Classical Conditioning   show
🗑
Behaviorism   show
🗑
Unconditioned Response (UR)   show
🗑
show In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally -- naturally and automatically -- triggers a response.  
🗑
show In classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS).  
🗑
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)   show
🗑
Acquisition   show
🗑
Higher-order Conditioning (Also called "second-order conditioning.")   show
🗑
Extinction   show
🗑
show The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response.  
🗑
show The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses.  
🗑
show In classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.  
🗑
Learned Helplessness   show
🗑
show Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus.  
🗑
show A type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher.  
🗑
Law of Effect   show
🗑
show In operant conditioning research, a chamber (also known as a "Skinner box") containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforcer; attached devices record the animal's rate of bar pressing or key pecking.  
🗑
show An operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior.  
🗑
Discriminative Stimulus   show
🗑
Reinforcer   show
🗑
show Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food. 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; also known as a secondary reinforcer.  
🗑
show Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs.  
🗑
show Reinforcing a response only part of the time; results in slower acqusition of a response but much greater resistance to extinction than does continuous reinforcement.  
🗑
Fixed-ratio Schedule   show
🗑
Variable-ratio Schedule   show
🗑
show In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed.  
🗑
Variable-interval Schedule   show
🗑
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.  
🗑
show Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it.  
🗑
Insight   show
🗑
show A desire to perform a behavior effectively for its own sake.  
🗑
show A desire to perform a behavior to receive promised rewards or avoid threatened punishment.  
🗑
show Learning by observing others. Also called social learning.  
🗑
Modeling   show
🗑
Mirror Neurons   show
🗑
show Positive, constructive, helpful behavior. The opposite of antisocial behavior.  
🗑


   

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.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
