Types of Learning
A theory of learning that focuses solely on observable behaviors.
What is Behaviorism?
The initial learning of the connection between the unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus when these two stimuli are paired.
What is acquisition?
Behaviors followed by positive outcomes are strengthened, and behaviors followed by negative outcomes are weakened.
What is the Law of effect?
The unconditioned Stimulus.
What is the food?
Giving Something as a reward.
What is Positive Reinforcement?
When an organism makes a connection, or an association, between two events.
What is associative learning?
The tendency of a new stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response.
What is Generalization?
Rewarding successive approximations of a desired behavior.
What is Shaping?
The unconditioned response.
What is Drooling?
Taking something away as Punishment.
What is Negative Punishment?
Learning through observing and imitating another’s behavior.
What is Observational learning?
The process of learning to respond to certain stimuli and not others
What is Discrimination?
The process by which a stimulus or an event following a particular behavior increases the probability that the behavior will happen again.
What is Reinforcement?
The conditioned response?
What is Drooling?
Giving Something as Punishment.
What is Positive punishment?
Learning process in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an innately meaningful stimulus and acquires the capacity to elicit a similar response.
What is classical conditioning?
The weakening of the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is absent.
What is Extinction?
An organism’s learning that it can altogether avoid a negative stimulus by making a particular response.
What is Avoidance Learning?
The neutral Stimulus.
What is the Bell?
Taking something away as reward.
What is Negative reinforcement?
A form of associative learning in which the consequences of a behavior change the probability of the behavior’s occurrence.
What is Operant conditioning?
The process by which a conditioned response can recur after a time delay, without further conditioning.
What is Spontaneous Recovery?
Through experience with unavoidable aversive stimuli, an organism learns that it has no control over negative outcomes.
What is learned helplessness?
The conditioned Stimulus?
What is the Bell?
Annalise has a headache. She takes Tylenol. The headache goes away.
What is Negative reinforcement?
