Classical Conditioning
This researcher is famous for conditioning dogs to salivate to a bell.
Who is Ivan Pavlov?
This famous case study involved conditioning a child to fear a white rat.
What is Little Albert?
This type of learning involves consequences that increase or decrease behavior.
What is operant conditioning?
Which reinforcement schedule produces a “scalloped” pattern of responding, with behavior increasing right before reinforcement?
What is fixed interval?
Learning that occurs by watching others.
What is observational learning?
This type of learning explains why someone might avoid a food after getting sick from it once.
What is taste aversion?
This learning principle explains how phobias can develop through association.
What is classical conditioning?
This increases behavior by adding something desirable.
What is positive reinforcement?
This schedule reinforces behavior after a set amount of time has passed.
What is fixed interval?
This psychologist conducted the Bobo doll experiment.
Who is Albert Bandura?
This stimulus naturally and automatically triggers a response without prior learning.
What is an unconditioned stimulus (US)?
This type of learning explains why someone might avoid a food after getting sick from it once.
What is taste aversion?
This increases behavior by removing something unpleasant.
What is negative reinforcement?
This schedule reinforces behavior after an unpredictable amount of time.
What is variable interval?
This term describes learning by watching others and imitating their behavior.
What is modeling?
This occurs when a learned response weakens because the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
What is extinction?
This technique pairs a feared stimulus with relaxation to reduce anxiety.
What is counterconditioning?
This decreases behavior by adding something unpleasant.
What is positive punishment?
This schedule reinforces behavior after a set number of responses.
What is fixed ratio?
In Bandura’s experiment, children were more likely to imitate behavior when they saw this.
What is a model being rewarded?
After extinction, this refers to the sudden reappearance of a previously learned response.
What is spontaneous recovery?
When a commercial pairs a product with attractive or happy images, it is using this principle.
What is classical conditioning in advertising?
This process reinforces small steps toward a desired behavior.
What is shaping?
This schedule reinforces behavior after an unpredictable number of responses and is most resistant to extinction.
What is variable ratio?
This term refers to demonstrating and imitating positive behaviors.
What is modeling?
