Control of a response is shifted from an inborn stimulus to a new stimulus. This helps explain _______.
What is Involuntary Behavior?
A response is increased or decreased due to REINFORCEMENT or PUNISHMENT
What is operant conditioning?
This person is the Director of ADVANCE
Dr. Hynes
increasing behaviors by presenting POSITIVE stimuli, such as food. A positive reinforce in any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response
What is positive reinforcement?
A systemetic, relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experience
What is learning?
In Pavlov's experiment the name when sound (stimulus) resulted in a drool (response) is ____
What is Learned Association?
in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses
fixed-ratio
What was the baby's name that Pavlov studied on? (unethically)
Who is Little Baby Albert?
increasing behaviors by STOPPING or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock. A negative reinforce is any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens the response (negative reinforcement is not punishment)
What is negative reinforcement?
When a child learns through observation and imitating another's behavior
What is observational behavior?
the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when a unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant condition when a response is no longer reinforced
the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response
What is extinction and spontaneous recovery?
in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses
variable-ratio
This person is the author of the textbook
in operant conditioning, a stimulus that elicits a response after association with reinforcement (in contrast to related stimuli not associated with reinforcement)
discriminative stimulus
in classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus
What is discrimination?
an event that decreases the behavior that it follows
punishment
in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed
fixed-interval
Who is Pavlov?
reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs
continuous reinforcement
the tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit responses
generalization
A stimulus that produces a response without prior learning.
An unlearned reaction that is automatically elicited by the unconditioned stimulus
A previously neutral stimulus that eventually elicits a conditioned response after being paired with the uncondtioned stimulus
The learned response to the condtioned stimulus that occurs after a condtioned stimulus- unconditioned stimulus pairing
What are unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, and conditioned response?
in operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals
variable-interval
This scientist created the term operant conditioning by testing birds and mice
Who is B.F. Skinner?
in classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response
acquisition
