Operant Conditioning
Negative Reinforcement
learning where a neutral stimulus is paired with a unconditioned stimulus and elicits a conditioned response
Classical Conditioning
Learning is NOT so mechanic but we learn because we want to seek out knowledge by thinking or watching people
Cognitive Learning
reinforcement after a set period of time
Fixed-Interval schedule (FI)
learning by watching and imitating others
something that strengthens the response or makes it more likely to reoccur
Reinforcement
Learning the occurs but remains hidden until there is a need to use it
Latent Learning
reinforcement after varying lengths of time
Variable-Interval schedule (VI)
weakening the response by following it with unpleasant consequences
Punishment
used shaping on pigeons to get his desired behavior
B.F. Skinner
a stimulus that has the ability to produce a specified response before conditioning begins
Unconditioned Stimulus
studied rats, resulting in the theory of latent learning, cognitive maps
E.C. Tolman
reinforcement after set number of responses
Fixed-Ratio schedule (FR)
learning that certain events occur together
(two types of this: classical & operant conditioning)
Associative Learning
fires when performing or observing a certain action
reinforcement after varying number of responses
Variable-Interval (VI)
Procedure where reinforces (food), gradually guides an animals actions toward a desired behavior
Shaping
contains a bar that an animal can push to obtain a food reinforcer, with a recorder of the bar pressing
