How many stages are there in Sleep
Four

Positive Reinforcement
Reinforces the first response after a changing amount of times
Variable Interval

Fixed interval
Theory of sleep proposing that animals and humans evolved sleep patterns to avoid predators by sleeping when predators are most active
Adaptive Theory
In this stage your body temperature and heart beat increase to the same levels as if you were walking. Your brainwaves resemble beta waves and your eyes move rapidly under you eyelids
REM Sleep
Remove Pleasent stimulus to decrease behavior
Negative Punishment
Completion of a constant number of responses
Fixed Ratio
Yanique gets an "A" on an exam that she studied extremely hard for. (Operant Conditioning Practice)
Positive Reinforcement
long, slow brain waves that indicate the deepest stage of sleep
Delta Waves

Light Sleep

Negative Reinforcement

Fixed Interval
You start playing the lottery. You win $10 the first time you play. You play 12 more times before you win again. (Reinforcement Practice)
Variable Ratio
Theory of sleep proposing that sleep is necessary to the physical health of the body and serves to replenish chemicals and repair cellular damage.
Restorative Theory
In this stage your brainwaves start to resemble delta waves and growth hormones are released from the pituitary gland. The body's lowest level of functioning
Deep Sleep
Add aversive stimulus to decrease behavior
Positive Punishment
Completion of a changing number of responses
Variable Ratio
Negative Punishment
A cycle of bodily rhythm that occurs over a 24-hour period
Circadian Rhythm
A stage that your body temperature drops, breathing becomes more shallow, and Heart rate slows down
Sleep Spindles
This psychologist developed the idea of Operant Conditioning
B.F. Skinner
Reinforce the desired response/behavior every time it occurs
Continuous Reinforcement
A psychologist gives a rat a food pellet each time it pushes a lever in its cage (Reinforcement Practice)
