He learned perseverance and hard work from his dad and the need for a refective life with a strong moral foundation from his mother.He graduated from MIT with a degree in electrochemistry but did not pursue it because he did not want to compete with his brother.He also shifted away from physics and chemistry when he discovered William James.
Who is Tolman?
100
Refers to the probability that a response will occur at a given time.
What is reaction potential?
100
This experiment was conducted by Tolman who believed that rather than learning a stimulus-response connection, rats actually created a ______ meaning they had an overall knowledge of the structure and spatial pattern that give them a general sense of where to go.
What is Tolman's cognitive map?
100
Skinner's utopian perfect society by use of this method
What is the Technological Ideal
100
This theory stated that to understand behavior requires knowing about all the forces acting on a person's particular time.
What is Field theory?
200
.Definitions involving precise descriptions of procedures for measurement and for specifying the variables in an experiment.
What are operational definitions?
200
He was the leading research psychologist in America. His work cited more often than that of any other psychologist, and his students spread the Hullian gospel far and wide. For the psychologist of Hulls era, his theory met the need for a clear direction into the future. Introspective psychology had met its demise in the 1920s, but there was nothing to replace it
What is Hull's contribution to Psychology?
200
His research program was creative and helped to institutionalize the maze as standard research apparatus. His cognitive theory resonates with today’s research in animal’s spatial behavior and short-term memory. He had an incredible sense of perspective where he was fully absorbed in his research but did not take himself too seriously and did not think his theories were timeless truths. 
Who is Tolman?
200
Behaviors that are directed toward a certain goal.
What is a purposive behavior?
200
  The belief that learning is central to understanding behavior is a common belief of what group of people?
What is Neobehaviorism?
300
The logical positivists distinguished between observable and theoretical events. With operationism, scientific concepts are to be defined with reference to the operations used to measure them.
What are the ways to resolve the problem that science has with unobservables?
300
He believed in Independent thinking and an unwillingness to accept the wisdom of elders unless accompanied by sound evidence was more his style. He viewed his brand of behaviorism and attacked on what he viewed  as the misguided efforts of cognitive psychology.
Who is Skinner?
300
The idea of learning being the result of a gradual increase in "habit strength" eventually became a salient feature of this man's learning theory.
Who is Clark Hull?
300
Behavior is rewarded or punished which determines whether the behavior will continue?
What is Operant conditioning?
300
A problem in which color naming is hindered by interference from automatic reading processes
What is the stroop effect?
400
Before Watson, introspection prevented psychology from being an objective science. After Watson, behaviorism quickly became the eonly way of thinking among experimental psychologists.Watson's behaviorism actually did not catch on immediately and the initial response was criticism
What is Watsonian behaviorism?
400
The Pavlovian model; An identifiable stimulus elicits and identifiable response through the procedure of pairing two stimuli: one that initially elicits the response (food) and one that doesn’t (tone).
What is Type S conditioning?
400
Hull worked on these two topics before entering the realm of learning.
What is Aptitude testing and hypnosis?
400
A system that required them to develop a theory, then test it, modify it, the test again and so on. What was this system called?      
What is hypothetico-deductive system.
400
Learning requires reinforcers, which are any stimuli that reduced a strong drive.
What is Drive Reduction Theory
500
Optimistic public belief, Pavlov's research being translated into English, and Percy Bridgman's publication of the book, The Logic of Modern Physics
What are the events that led to the rise of behaviorism?
500
In operant conditioning the environment in which the behavior is reinforced, comes to exert control over the rats behavior. In an experimental analysis, then, understanding behavior involves being able to specify behavior being studied, the immediate consequences of that behavior, and the environment where the behavior occurs.
What is stimulus control?
500
Created by Hull, this system is a set of postulates or statements about behavior based on accumulated knowledge from research and logic that are assumed to be true, but cannot be tested directly.
What is What is a hypothetico-deductive system?
500
This is score to improve reliability of maze learning when some rats run faster than others?
What is Error score?
500
In his theory he argued that rats created a cognitive map of their mazes rather than having stimulus-response connections.
