Acquisition
A.
In classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response.
B.
A desire to perform a behavior effectively for its own sake.
C.
In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses.
D.
The process of observing and imitating a specific behavior.
E.
Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus.
F.
Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food. A positive reinforcer is any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response.
G.
Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it.
H.
An organism's decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it.
I.
Frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing certain actions or when observing another doing so. The brain's mirroring of another's action may enable imitation and empathy.
J.
In operant conditioning, a stimulus that elicits a respons after association with reinforcement (in contrast to related stimuli not associated with reinforcement).
K.
In classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response.
L.
The diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.
M.
A procedure in which the CS in one experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus,creating a second(often weaker)stimulus.Animals that've learned that a tone predicts food might then learn that light predicts that and begin responding to just the light.
N.
A sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem.
O.
In classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.
P.
In classical conditioning, the unlearned, naturally occurring response to the unconditioned stimulus (US), such as salivation when food is in the mouth.
Q.
Positive, constructive, helpful behavior. The opposite of antisocial behavior.
R.
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).
S.
An event that decreases the behavior it follows.
T.
Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs.
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
21.
A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events.
incorrect
22.
Increasing behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock. A negative reinforcer is any stimulus that, when removed after a reponse, strengthens the response. (Note: negative reinforcement is not punishment.)
incorrect
23.
A relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior due to experience.
incorrect
24.
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.
incorrect
25.
In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed.
incorrect
26.
The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response.
incorrect
27.
The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses.
incorrect
28.
A type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher.
incorrect
29.
The hopelessness and passive resignation an animal or human learns when unable to avoid repeated aversive events.
incorrect
30.
A stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer; also known as a secondary reinforcer.
