Learning

        Help!  

Question
Answer
A relatively permanent change in behavior (or behavioral potential) due to experience   Learning  
🗑
An approach to psychology that emphasizes the study of observable behavior and the role of the environment as a determinant of behavior   Behaviorism  
🗑
A basic kind of learning that involves associations between environmental stimuli and the organism's response   Conditioning  
🗑
The process by which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the capacity to elicit a response through association with a stimulus that already elicits a similar response   Classical Conditioning  
🗑
The classical conditioning term for a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response in the absence of learning   Unconditioned Stimulus (US)  
🗑
The classical conditioning term for a reflexive response elicited by a stimulus in the absence of learning   Unconditioned Response (UR)  
🗑
The classical conditioning term for an initially neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a conditioned response after being associated with an unconditioned stimulus   Conditioned Stimulus (CS)  
🗑
Thee classical conditioning term for a response that is elicited by a conditioned stimulus; it occurs after the conditioned stimulus is associated with an unconditioned stimulus   Conditioned Response (CR)  
🗑
The weakening and eventual disappearance of a learned response; in classical conditioning, it occurs when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus   Extinction  
🗑
The reappearance of a learned response after its apparent extinction   Spontaneous Recovery  
🗑
In classical conditioning, a procedure in which a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus through association with an already established conditioned stimulus   Higher-Order Conditioning  
🗑
After conditioning, the tendency to respond to a stimulus that resembles one involved in the original conditioning; in classical conditioning, it occurs when a stimulus that resembles the CS elicits the CR   Stimulus Generalization  
🗑
The tendency to respond differently to two or more similar stimuli; in classical conditioning, it occurs when a stimulus similar to the CS fails to evoke the CR   Stimulus Discrimination  
🗑
"Little Albert" is an example of...   Learning to Fear  
🗑
In classical conditioning, the process of pairing a conditioned stimulus with a stimulus that elicits a response that is incompatible with an unwanted conditioned response   Counterconditioning  
🗑
The process by which a response becomes more likely to occur or less so, depending on its consequences   Operant Conditioning  
🗑
A little girl throwing a tantrum in order to get attention from her father is an example of...   Operant Conditioning  
🗑
The process by which a stimulus or event strengthens or increases the probability of the response that it follows   Reinforcement  
🗑
The process by which a stimulus or event weakens or reduces the probability of the response it follows   Punishment  
🗑
A stimulus that is inherently reinforcing, typically satisfying; an example is food   Primary Reinforcer  
🗑
A stimulus that is inherently punishing; an example is electric shock   Primary Punisher  
🗑
A stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties through association with other reinforcers; money   Secondary Reiniforcer  
🗑
A stimulus that has acquired punishing properties through association with other punishers; bad grades   Secondary Punisher  
🗑
A reinforcement procedure in which a response is followed by the presentation of, or increase in intensity of, a reinforcing stimulus; as a result, the response becomes stronger or more likely to occur   Positive Reinforcement  
🗑
A reinforcement procedure in which a response is followed by the removal, delay, or decrease in intensity of an unpleasant stimulus; as a result, the response becomes stronger or more likely to occur   Negative Reinforcement  
🗑
When an unpleasant consequence follows a response, making the response less likely to recur.   Positive Punishment  
🗑
When an pleasant consequence is removed following a response, making the response less likely to recur.   Negative Punishment  
🗑
The weakening and eventual disappearance of a learned response; in operant conditioning, it occur when a response is no longer followed by a reinforcer   Extinction  
🗑
In operant conditioning, the tendency for a response that has been reinforced (or punished) in the presence of one stimulus to occur (or be suppressed) in the presence of other similar stimuli   Stimulus Generalization  
🗑
In operant conditioning, the tendency of a response to occur in the presence of one stimulus but not in the presence of other, similar stimuli that differ from it on some dimension   Stimulus Discrimination  
🗑
A stimulus that signals when a particular response is likely to be followed by a certain type of consequence   Discriminative Stimulus  
🗑
A reinforcement schedule in which a particular response is always reinforced   Continuous Reinforcement  
🗑
a reinforcement schedule in which a particular response is sometimes but not always reinforced   Intermittent (Partial) Schedule of Reinforcement  
🗑
An operant conditioning procedure in which successive approximations of a desired response are reinforced   Shaping  
🗑
In the procedure of shaping, behaviors that are ordered in terms of increasing similarity or closeness to the desired response   Successive Approximations  
🗑
The application of conditioning techniques to teach new responses or to reduce or eliminate problematic behavior   Behavior Modification  
🗑
Reinforcers that are not inherently related to the activity being reinforced, such as money, prizes, and praise   Extrinsic Reinforcers  
🗑
Reinforcers that are inherently related to the activity being reinforced, such as enjoyment of the task and the satisfaction of accomplishment   Intrinsic Reinforcers  
🗑
A form of learning that is not immediately expressed in an overt response; it occurs without obvious reinforcement   Latent Learning  
🗑
Theories that emphasize how behavior is learned and maintained though observation and imitation of others, positive consequences, and cognitive processes such as plans, expectations, and beliefs   Social-Cognitive Theories  
🗑
A process in which an individual learns new responses by observing the behavior of another (a model) rather than through experiences   Observational Learning  
🗑


   

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.
