Pavlov
Response to a conditioned stimulus
Conditioned response
Ability to distinguish between conditioned stimulus and non-signaling stimuli
Discrimination
Subconscious pairing of neutral stimulus with unconditioned stimulus
Classical Conditioning
Rewarding an action that is fun or intrinsically motivated may decrease motivation
Overjustification Effect
Using positive/negative reinforcement/punishment to increase/decrease behavior
Operant Conditioning
Stimulus that naturally elicits an unconditioned response
Unconditioned Stimulus
Stage where neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus
Acquisition
Observing and imitating specific behavior
Social Learning
Actions followed by positive consequences are likely to continue
Thorndike's Law of Effect
Adding a stimulus to increase a behavior
Positive reinforcement
The response to an unconditioned stimulus
Unconditioned Response
Diminishing of conditioned response when unconditioned stimulus is absent
Extinction
Process of observing and imitating a specific behavior
Modeling
Frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing or observing certain actions
Mirror neurons
Removing a stimulus to increase a behavior
Negative reinforcement
Stimulus paired with unconditioned stimulus to elicit unconditioned response
Neutral Stimulus
Reappearance of extinguished conditioned response
Spontaneous recovery
Rewarding successive approximations of desired behavior
Shaping
Opposite of prosocial behavior
Antisocial behavior
Adding a stimulus to decrease a behavior
Positive punishment
Stimulus that elicits a conditioned response
Conditioned stimulus
Conditioned response given to stimuli similar to conditioned stimulus
Generalization
Study demonstrating observational learning in children
Bobo Doll Study
Positive, constructive, helpful behavior
Prosocial behavior
Removing a stimulus to decrease a behavior
Negative punishment
