Classical Conditioning
How Pavlov was able to produce a CR (drooling) when using a CS (bell).
Pairing the NS (bell) with the UCS (food)
The vocabulary word for developing a conditioned response (CR) when an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is paired with a conditioned stimulus (CS), in other words "learning"
What is Acquisition
Maybe the most well-known behaviorist, this psychologist is credited with the theories of operant conditioning.
BF Skinner
An unlearned, naturally occurring, response to an unconditioned stimulus.
What is Unconditioned Response
A drop off in responses when a CS no longer signals an upcoming UCS. For example, ringing a bell no longer predicts receiving food.
What is Extinction
A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.
What is Unconditioned Stimulus
The reappearance of a CR after a break. The "reappearance" of a conditioned response.
What is Spontaneous Recovery
A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus
What is Conditioned Response
Taking away something that is desired to decrease a negative behavior.
negative punishment
The major difference between operant and classical conditioning.
1. Operant conditioning presents a stimulus in the form of a consequence after the target behavior, whereas classical conditioning presents a stimulus before the target behavior.
An originally irrelevant, neutral stimulus(NS) that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus(US), comes to trigger a conditioned response(CR).
What is Conditioned Stimulus
Any consequence that decreases a behavior
Punishment
Removing or ending something that is desired to decrease a behavior
What is Negative Punishment
