Classical Conditioning
I was a physiologist until I accidentally discovered Classical Conditioning.
Who is Ivan Pavlov?
In Classical Conditioning, I come before the behavior, but now I come after.
What is a Stimulus?
I know I exist when a change in behavior has occurred.
What is Learning?
This is like getting paid every two weeks.
What is Fixed Interval?
I am the first step in Applied Behavioral Analysis.
What is Specify the behavior?
It elicits an automatic behavioral reaction without any learning.
What is an Unconditioned Stimulus?
I pretty much discovered Operant Conditioning before everyone else jumped in on the game!
Who is B.F. Skinner?
When two things occur together in time, they tend to become associated.
What is the Law of Contiguity?
This is why people become addicted to playing slot machines.
What is Variable Ratio?
I am the last step in Applied Behavioral Analysis?
What is Modify the plan if necessary?
I don't elicit anything until I am repeatedly paired with something that elicits an automatic reaction.
What is a Neutral Stimulus?
I usually strengthen behavior.
What is Reinforcement?
In Classical Conditioning, I come last, but in Operant Conditioning, I come first.
What is a Response?
This is like getting paid a bonus for every 1,000 bottles of hand sanitizer that are produced.
What is Fixed Ratio?
When Billy receives "Billy Bucks" for behaving in class during the week that he can trade in for goodies at the end of the week.
What is a Token Reinforcement Program?
If you keep presenting me without the Unconditioned Stimulus, I will begin to lose my effect (extinction).
What is the Conditioned Stimulus?
I usually weaken behavior.
What is Punishment?
Any act followed by a satisfying event is likely to be repeated, and any act followed by a dissatisfying event is likely not to be repeated.
What is the Law of Effect?
When the federal government pays different companies to make face masks as soon as possible.
What is Variable Interval?
Rewarding successive approximations to a desired behavior.
What is Shaping?
I am similar to the automatic response to an Unconditioned Stimulus, but often not as strong.
What is the Conditioned Response?
In actuality, I am the "baby" one of these that occurs before the actual behavior is engaged in.
What is a Discriminative Stimulus?
I am what Classical and Operant Conditioning are all about.
What is Association or Associationism?
We are the best Reinforcement Schedules.
What is Variable (Ratio and Interval)?
I am the best way to use Reinforcement and Punishment together.
What is Praise (good behavior) and Ignore (bad behavior)?
