Ivan Pavlov discovered/experimented with....
Classical Conditioning
Classical Conditioning
This term in operant conditioning will always result in a DECREASE of the desired behavior
Punishment
The relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience:
Learning
The view that psychology should only study observable behaviors. This dominated the field from 1920-1960
Behaviorism
BF Skinner invented this simple device for studying the effects of reinforcers on laboratory animals
Skinner Box
In classical conditioning, the unlearned, naturally occurring response. In Pavlov's experiment, this was the automatic response to the food.
Unconditioned Response
When a teacher gives you an A+ because you worked hard on an essay, what form of operant conditioning is being used?
Positive reinforcement
Who introduced the term behaviorism?
Ivan Pavlov
Skinner = shaping
Bandura = ?
Modeling
Name of the baby in the famous John Watson Classical Conditioning experiment:

In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally triggers a response
Unconditioned Stimulus
Food is a _______ reinforcer
$$ is a______ reinforcer
Primary, Secondary
A nail salon that rewards customers with a free manicure after 10 visits would be using a:
Fixed Ratio schedule
In operant conditioning, the process of a test subject getting closer and closer to the desired behavior each time they are reinforced or punished:
Shaping
The first experimental studies of associative learning were conducted by:
Ivan Pavlov
The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response
Spontaneous Recovery
Edward Thorndike proposed that rewarded behaviors are likely to continue. This is known as:
The Law of Effect
Modeling
Extinction
He did research with observational learning:
Albert Bandura
This term in operant conditioning will always result in INCREASING the desired behavior
Reinforcement
Describe negative reinforcement:
The behavior is strengthened, by removing the stimulus
This provides the biological basis for observational learning:
Mirror neurons
Any consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behavior occurring:
Punishment
