What is Positive Punishment
Adding something to decrease a behavior
What are models?
Individuals observed in society
Latent learning is.
latent learning refers to knowledge that only becomes clear when a person has an incentive to display it.

What is Negative Punishment?
Taking away something to decrease a behavior
How do models influence behavior?
Provide examples of behavior to observe and imitate
Define trial and error learning?

What is shaping?
A form of complex operant conditioning where we reinforce behaviors as it gets closer and closer to the desired behavior. We may also punish the behavior if it gets farther from the desired behavior.
When we see a zombie, we naturally run from it. In our zombie lesson, we added a horn with the zombie. Now when you hear the horn, you run.
What is now the CR
Running
What are primary and secondary reinforcers?

Describe the rat maze experiment.
In experiments that involved having groups of rats run a maze, rats that initially received no reward still learned the course during the non-reward trials. Once rewards were introduced, the rats were able to draw upon their "cognitive map" of the course
What is generalization?
Generalization occurs when the person or animal expects a reward or punishment whenever they perform a behavior similar to the behaviors that have been reinforced or punished.
