Process by which behavior or knowledge changes as a result of experience.
What is Learning?
100
A once neutral stimulus that elicits a conditioned response because it has a history of being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
What is a Conditioned Stimulus?
100
Process in which an event or stimulus that follows a response increases the likelihood of that response occurring again.
What is Reinforcement?
100
Process that decreases the future probability of a response.
What is Punishment?
100
Learning that is not directly observable.
What is Latent Learning?
200
Learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus elicits a response that was originally caused by another stimulus.
What is Classical Conditioning?
200
Russian physiologist that discovered classical conditioning while studying dog's saliva.
Who is Ivan Pavlov?
200
Stimulus that is contingent upon a response, and that results in a decrease in behavior.
What is a Punisher?
200
A stimulus is removed/decreased in order to increase a response.
What is Negative Reinforcement?
200
The replication of a motor behavior or expression, often to accomplish a specific goal.
What is Imitation?
300
The reoccurrence of a previously extinguished conditioned response, typically after some time has passed.
What is Spontaneous Recovery?
300
A reflexive, unlearned reaction to an unconditioned stimulus.
What is an Unconditioned Response?
300
Procedure in which a specific operant response is created by reinforcing successive approximations of that response.
What is Shaping?
300
As a consequence of failing knowledge tests, AOCs take away all media privileges.
What is Negative Punishment?
300
Occurs when a previously reinforced behavior is no longer reinforced and there is a decreased tendency to perform the behavior.
What is Extinction?
400
Learning that involves changes in behavior and knowledge that result from watching others.
What is Observational Learning?
400
The initial phase of learning in which a response is established.
What is Acquisition?
400
Type of partial reinforcement that reinforces the first response occurring after a set amount of time passes.
What is a Fixed-Interval Schedule?
400
Continuous - pattern where every response rewarded;
Partial – pattern in which only a portion of all responses are reinforced.
What are the Schedules of Reinforcement?
400
Cadet Jones sees others being praised for answering Captain Pugh's questions in class. Cadet Jones now attempts to answer more questions in class. Cadet Jones is demonstrating this type of learning.
What is Observational Learning?
500
Learning that occurs when behavior is influenced by consequences.
What is Operant Conditioning?
500
Little Albert was not initially afraid of rats, but when a white rat and a loud noise were presented together, Albert learned to fear rats. In this example, the rat is the...
What is Conditioned Stimulus?
500
Learned behavior is less prone to extinction if it is conditioned by this type of reinforcement.
What is Partial Reinforcement?
500
In an effort to increase grades on Quiz 4, Captain Pugh removes the requirement to complete ISA #2.
What is Negative Reinforcement?
500
Study that demonstrated exposure to aggressive models led to increased aggression in children.
