🗑
operant conditioning   show
🗑
show an enclosure that contains a bar or key that can be pressed to obtain food or water and that is used to study operant conditioning in rats, pigeons, or other small animals  
🗑
show in operant conditioning an increase in the probability of a behavior that is followed by a desirable consequences  
🗑
primary reinforcer   show
🗑
secondary reinforcer   show
🗑
discriminative stimulus   show
🗑
shaping   show
🗑
show an operant conditioning procedure used to establish a desired sequence of behaviors by positively reinforcing each behavior in the sequence  
🗑
show a schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for each instance of a desired response  
🗑
show a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces some, but not all, instances of a desired response  
🗑
show a partial schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement after a set number of desired responses  
🗑
show a partial schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement after varying, unpredictable numbers of desired responses  
🗑
fixed-interval schedule of reinforcement   show
🗑
variable-interval schedule of reinforcement   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, an increase in the probability of a behavior that is followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus  
🗑
escape learning   show
🗑
avoidance learning   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, the gradual disappearance of a response that is no longer followed by a reinforcer  
🗑
spontaneous recovery   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, the process by which an aversive stimulus decreases the probability of a response that precedes it  
🗑
show an operant conditioning procedure that uses tokens as positive reinforcers in programs designed to promote desirable behaviors, with the tokens later used to purchase desired items or privileges  
🗑
programmed instruction   show
🗑
computer-assisted instruction   show
🗑
show a feeling of futility caused by the belief that one has little or no control over events in one's life, which can make one stop trying and become depressed  
🗑
show a form of operant conditioning that enables an individual 2 learn 2 control a normally involuntary physiological process or 2 gain better control of a normally voluntary 1 when provided w/ visual/auditory information indicating the state of that response  
🗑
instinctive drift   show
🗑
behavioral preparedness   show
🗑
blocking   show
🗑
show learning that occurs without the reinforcement of overt behavior  
🗑
show learning produced by observing the consequences that others recieve for performing particular behaviors  
🗑
show a theory of learning that assumes that people learn behaviors mainly through observation and mental processing of information  
🗑


   

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.
