Question
Answer
Positive Reinforcer   show
🗑
Negative Reinforcer   show
🗑
show The process of decreasing behavior by presenting a punisheser. (Fingers on lip gives signal to be quiet.)  
🗑
Removal/Negative Punishment   show
🗑
Shaping   show
🗑
show consistency, not followed by positive reinforcers, immediate, logical consequence of offense, meaningful  
🗑
Concrete operations   show
🗑
show Assuming that others experience the world the way you do.  
🗑
Conservation   show
🗑
show Symbolic thought; The stage before child masters logical mental operations.  
🗑
show Actions a person carried out by thinking them through instead of literally performing the actions.  
🗑
show Involving the senses in motor activity.  
🗑
show In Piaget's theory, the "out-of-balance" state that occurs when a person realizes that his or her current ways of thinking are not working to solve a problem or understand a situation. Lack of balance between existing schemata and new input.  
🗑
show Balance between self and the world; mental balance between cognitive schemas and information from the environment. Balance between existing schemata and new input.  
🗑
Accommodation   show
🗑
Adaptation   show
🗑
Schemes   show
🗑
show Fitting new information into existing schemes  
🗑
show Nerve cells that store and transfer information  
🗑
Synapses   show
🗑
show The brains tendency to remain somewhat adaptable or flexible  
🗑
show Orderly, adaptive changes we go through from conception to death.  
🗑
Physical development   show
🗑
show Changes in personality that take place as one grows.  
🗑
Social development   show
🗑
show Gradual orderly changes by which mental processes become more complex and sophisticated.  
🗑
show Arranging objects in sequential order according to one aspect, such as size, weight, or volume.  
🗑
show Mental task involving abstract thinking and coordination of a number of variables.  
🗑
show phase at which a child can master a task if given appropriate help and support  
🗑
Behaviorism   show
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus (US) eg. salivation when food is in mouth.  
🗑
unconditioned stimulus (US)   show
🗑
show in classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus. (CS)  
🗑
show in classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response.  
🗑
show the initial learning 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.  
🗑
show the diminishing of a CR when the US does not follow a conditioned stimulus. eg,declining salivation.  
🗑
show the reappearance after a pause of an extinguished conditioned response. the smell of onion breath awakens a version of the emotional response.  
🗑
generalization   show
🗑
discrimination   show
🗑
show acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination  
🗑
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 prepares for the unconditioned stimulus. Also called Pavlovian or respondent conditioning  
🗑
OPERANT CONDITIONING   show
🗑
RESPONDENT BEHAVIOR   show
🗑
show Behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences.  
🗑
show In operant conditioning, any event that strengthens the behavior it follows.  
🗑
show An innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need.ie food, water, warmth, security, sex  
🗑
show A stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer; also known as secondary reinforcer.  
🗑
CONTINUOUS REINFORCEMENT   show
🗑
PARTIAL (INTERMITTENT) REINFORCEMENT   show
🗑
show In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses.  
🗑
show In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses.  
🗑
FIXED-INTERVAL SCHEDULE   show
🗑
show In operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals or sometimes but not others.  
🗑
show An event that decreases the behavior that it follows.  
🗑
displacement   show
🗑
show a defense mechanism in which an individual faced with anxiety retreats to a more infantile psychosexual stage, where some psychic energy remains fixated EX: When a child goes to the first day of school may suck his/her thumb  
🗑
show do not view development as occurring in discrete stages, focus entirely on the nurture, or environment side of the nature-nurture debate and consider development more as a continuous process  
🗑
Albert Bandura   show
🗑
Jean Piaget   show
🗑
B.F. Skinner   show
🗑
Ivan Pavlov   show
🗑
show proposed that language directs behavior and that young children first control their behavior by talking out loud to themselves, also proposed zone of proximal development  
🗑
Maturation   show
🗑
Schema   show
🗑
show all the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating. Stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.  
🗑
Vicarious conditioning   show
🗑
Stress   show
🗑
Catharsis   show
🗑
Vygotsky Sociocultural Theory   show
🗑
Behaviourism Watson & Skinner   show
🗑
show Emphasizes the role of modeling or observational learning in development of behavior.  
🗑
show Learning doesn't depend on reinforcers. Construct knowledge as explore their world. Biological adaptation to fit the external world. Stages: Sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational stage. Discontinuous.  
🗑
show Inborn biological hereditary information received from our parents  
🗑
Nurture   show
🗑
show learning to perform a behavior that terminates an aversive stimulus, as in negative reinforcement  
🗑
show learning to prevent the occurence of an aversive stimulus by giving an appropriate response to a warning stimulus  
🗑
extinction   show
🗑
reinforcement vs punishment   show
🗑
premack principle   show
🗑
"a-b-c's" of operant conditioning   show
🗑
show in operant conditioning, extinction occurs if responses stop producing reinforcements --i.e. ask someone to dinner a few times... after they say "no" a few times you simply stop asking  
🗑
show conditioned stimulus (bell) --response that depends on preceding conditions -unconditioned stimulus (meat) --event that automatically elicits an unconditional response  
🗑
UR, CR   show
🗑
show Support for learning and problem-solving. The support could be clues, reminders, encouragement, breaking a problem down into steps, providing an example, or anything else that allows the student to grow in independence as a learner.  
🗑
reinforcer   show
🗑
Operant Conditioning   show
🗑
Secondary Reinforcers   show
🗑

🗑
