(Mr. Z has a bad habit of not tying his shoes. One day, BOOM he trips and falls and scrapes his knee. Now, because of that experience, he frequently ties his shoes in order to prevent any further knee scrapes.)
What is Negative Reinforcement?
Behavior that operates on the environment, producing consequences
What is operant behavior?
Define this example:
A child may learn quadratic equations by watching a math teacher on the board and then demonstrate this learning when prompted on a test.
What is latent learning?
I learned how to communicate cordially and warmly with customers at work after watching a training video. This is an example of this type of behavior modeling:
What is Prosocial Effect (or behavior)?
Fill in the blanks:
______ is the ability to distinguish between a CS and irrelevant stimuli (Running when you see a guard dog vs staying calm when seeing a seeing eye dog).
______ is the tendency for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit a similar response once it has been conditioned. (a toddler fearing a moving car and also fearing a moving motorcycle)
What is:
Discrimination?
What is:
Generalization?
Fill in the blank:
a ______ reinforcer is an innately reinforcing stimulus, usually to satisfy a biological need (Getting food when hungry). A _____ reinforcer gains its power through association with a ______ reinforcer. (Gaining good grades cuz you know it will mean you can go out to eat at a restaurant)

QUICK-- practice mini sorta slight kinda FRQ:
Ex: Sasha receives her third Psychology test and sees she got another F even after hard studying (this makes three consecutive Fs). At home, she got into a fight with her mom about the grade and turned to drinking a bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade to push off the fight and the grade.
Use these Psych terms and apply them to Sasha's situation (apply them in any way: i.e- what she did, what she could have done, what she could have)
Emotion-Focused Coping
Problem Focused Coping
Learned Helplessness
External Locus of Control
Internal Locus of Control
Emotion Focused Coping- Sasha turned to drinking instead of talking to her mom directly/teacher about the grade
Problem Focused Coping- Sasha could have talked to her mom/teacher directly instead of drinking
Learned Helplessness- Sasha could feel a sense of defeat after getting three consecutive Fs on her tests after studying hard, seeing studying as a pointless behavior
External Locus of Control- Sasha could potentially be angry and believe the teacher, the test, lack of time etc. caused the failure of the test.
Internal Locus of Control- Sasha could believe that she was in control of how poorly she has done on the tests and is aware that her own personal study habits could be modified
When is prosocial modeling most effective?
When a model's actions are consistent with the prosocial lesson
