Fixed-ratio Schedule
A.
In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses.
B.
The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response.
C.
A stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer; also known as a secondary reinforcer.
D.
An operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior.
E.
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.
F.
An event that decreases the behavior it follows.
G.
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.
H.
A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events.
I.
The view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2).
J.
A desire to perform a behavior to receive promised rewards or avoid threatened punishment.
K.
Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food. A positive reinforcer is any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response.
L.
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.
M.
A desire to perform a behavior effectively for its own sake.
N.
An innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need.
O.
In classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.
P.
In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed.
Q.
Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus.
R.
An organism's decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it.
S.
A sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem.
T.
In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals.
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
21.
A type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher.
incorrect
22.
Positive, constructive, helpful behavior. The opposite of antisocial behavior.
incorrect
23.
Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs.
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.
The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses.
incorrect
26.
In operant conditioning, any event that strengthens the behavior it follows.
incorrect
27.
The process of observing and imitating a specific behavior.
incorrect
28.
In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses.
incorrect
29.
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.
incorrect
30.
In classical conditioning, the learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS).
