Ivan Pavlov discovered
What is classical conditioning
100

The field of psychology that studies learning by examining how individuals learn associations between events, and associations between behaviors and their consequences. It is NOT about internal thoughts or emotions.

What is Behaviorism

100

A form of behavioral learning in which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the power to elicit the same innate reflex produced by another stimulus

What is Classical Conditioning

100

The relatively permanent change in an organism’s behavior due to experience

What is learning

100

Bandura's experiment

What is the Bobo Doll Experiment

200

B.F. Skinner invented a simple device for studying the effects of reinforcers on laboratory animals

What is Skinner Box or Operant Chamber

200

A form of behavioral learning in which the probability of a response is changed by its consequences-the learner involved is an active participant


Operant Conditioning


200

Decreasing responsiveness with repeated stimulation. As infants gain familiarity with repeated exposure to a stimulus, their interest wanes and they look away sooner. 

What is habituation

200

Any consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behavior

What is punishment

200

Who famously researched taste aversion, first with rats in a lab, then with coyotes on California ranches

John Garcia

300

Edward Thorndike contributed this theory to behavioral psychology

What is The Law of Effect

300

An operant learning technique in which a new behavior is produced by reinforcing (smaller) responses that are similar to the ultimate desired response/end goal

What is Shaping

300

An innately reinforcing stimulus like those that satisfy biological needs.

What is a Primary Reinforcer?

300

This type of learning suggests participants learn by watching, imitating, and/or modeling others

What is observational learning or social learning theory

300

Who introduced the term insight learning defining it as an aha moment or an epiphany in problem solving

Who is Wolfgang Kohler

400
They conditioned an infant named Albert to react fearfully to a white laboratory rat. They applied classical conditioning.
Who are John Watson and Rosalie Rayner
400

Patterns specifying the frequency and timing of reinforcements.

What are Schedules of Reinforcement

400

A CR decreases when a CS is repeatedly presented alone

What is Extinction?

400

Any event that increases the likelihood of a behavior

What is reinforcement

400

These conditioned reinforcers get their power through learned associations with primary reinforcers and are also called...

What are secondary reinforcers?

500

His theory regarded observational and social learning

Who is Albert Bandura

500

A type of schedule in which responses are sometimes reinforced and sometimes not reinforced.

What is a partial or variable/intermittent reinforcement schedule?

500

The reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after a time delay

What is Spontaneous Recovery

500

Learning that certain events occur close together. For example, in classical conditioning 2 stimuli occur together and in operant conditioning a response and its consequence occur together

What is Associative Learning

500

Following Watson's conditioning of Albert, Mary Cover Jones counter-conditioned Peter using this method of behavior modification.

What is systematic desensitization?
