Operant Conditioning
Removal of something good after a response to decreases the likelihood that the response will occur again
This is a reinforcer like grades or money
Secondary reinforcer
_______ is referred to as learning by association
Classical conditioning
This is when there is a specific number of correct responses a subject must give before a reward
Fixed ratio
Tendency to respond to similar stimuli to those that proceeded reinforcement
Generalization
Saying good job after someone gets an A on an exam.
Positive reinforcement
A ____ is meant to increase behavior whereas a _______ is meant to decrease behavior
Reinforcer, punishment
Learning by rewards/punishments
Operant conditioning

Variable interval
Ability to differentiate between stimuli that signal reward or no reward
Discrimination
_____ is adding something uncomfortable that decreases the likelihood that the response will occur again.
Positive punishment
A _____ is meant to increase behavior whereas a ____ is meant to decrease behavior from happening again.
Reinforcement, punishment
Which of the conditioning types is more involuntary?

Fixed interval
Weakening of an operant response when reinforcement is no longer available

Which conditioning has a more active approach?

Classical involves more physiological/reflexive responses
Give an example of variable ratio in your life
Multiple answers, but when there is a varying number of responses a subject must give to get a reinforcer
This is what should be done when you are teaching a new behavior
Continuous reinforcement
