Classical Conditioning
Major Figures
Learning
Studies
Operant Conditioning
100

Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus (NOT UCR)

Respondent behavior

100

The father of classical conditioning who trained dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell. 

Ivan Pavlov

100

Learning that has occurred but is not demonstrated until there is some reason or reward

Latent Learning

100

Pavlov trained dogs to salivate at what?

The sound of a bell. 

100
This is defined as anything that causes a behavior to become less frequent

Punishment

200

This occurs when the subject has successfully associated the neutral stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus such that the NS produces a conditioned reaction. 

Acquisition

200

This person is most known for a study involving an inflatable doll

Albert Bandura

200

Having a moment of sudden understanding while thinking about a problem is known as 

Insight Learning

200

What was Pavlov actually studying when he made the discover that defined his career? 

The digestive system of dogs. 

200

This makes a behavior more likely to occur by removing some aversive stimuli

Negative reinforcement

300

This occurs when a subject begins to have a conditioned response to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimuli

Generalization
300

This person trained pigeons to guide missiles during WWII. 

BF Skinner

300
Someone who watches another person get scolded for some behavior, will be less likely to behave that way because they have learned through...

Vicarious punishment. 

300

This study by Albert Bandura showed that children would model behaviors seen from adults. 

The Bobo Doll Study

300

Point cards which reward coffee drinkers with a free drink for every ten purchases are using what reinforcement schedule?

Fixed ratio

400

After extinction, a conditioned response may come back in a process known as 

Spontaneous Recovery

400

This person (known as the father of behaviorism) conducted a famous study that involved unethically conditioning a small baby. 

John Watson

400

Both classical conditioning and operant conditioning are types of this kind of learning

Associative Learning

400

This study, which involved putting a cat in a cage that would open when a lever was pressed, was used to establish the Law of...

Effect

400

A parent attempting to change their teenager's behavior by taking away their phone would be an example of what?

Negative Punishment

500

What causes a conditioned response to go extinct in a subject. 

Continually presenting the CS without the UCS. 

500

This person came up with the Law of Effect. 

Edward Thorndike

500

These specialized cells make empathy as well as observational learning possible

Mirror neurons

500

These were used for much of the testing that BF Skinner did on rats. They contained a light, a speaker, a bar, and a food dispenser. 

Skinner Boxes or Operant Chambers

500

What is the disadvantage (besides the logistical concerns) of continuous reinforcement in modeling behavior? 

Behaviors that are continuously reinforced will become extinct quickly when reinforcement stops.
