Key Terms
This term is used for a change in behavior as a result of experience?
Learning
This type of conditioning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus
Classical Conditioning
The psychologist associated with the Little Albert experiment?
John B Watson
This type of learning occurs without reinforcement but is spontaneously demonstrated once a reinforcement is introduced?
Latent Learning
This addition helps increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated
Reinforcement
This is a inborn, automatic response to a stimulus
Reflex
In classical conditioning, this response occurs naturally due to a given stimulus?
Unconditioned Response (UCR)
The experiment involved a child being conditioned to fear a white rat
Little Albert Experiment
This type of learning involves mental representations of physical spaces
Cognitive Map
This type of reinforcement strengthens behavior by adding something desirable
Positive Reinforcement
The learned response to a previously neutral stimulus, after association with an unconditioned stimulus?
Conditioned Response (CR)
This method in operant conditioning weakens a behavior by adding an unpleasant consequence
Positive Punishment
The psychologist known for operant conditioning and the Skinner box
B.F. Skinner
This type of learning involves observing and imitating others’ behaviors
Observational Learning
This process involves weakening a behavior by removing something desirable
Negative Punishment
This term for learning that certain events occur together, like two stimuli or a behavior and its consequences?
Associative Learning
In operant conditioning this schedule of reinforcement provides rewards after an unpredictable number of responses
Variable Ratio
This psychologist is associated with classical conditioning and dogs
Ivan Pavlov
This type of learning occurs but is not observable in behavior until there is a reason to demonstrate it
Latent learning
This process involves weakening a behavior by adding an unpleasant stimulus
Positive Punishment
The enhanced ability to think of a stimulus due to a previous exposure to the same or related stimulus
Stimulus Discrimination
The component of classical conditioning where a conditioned stimulus no longer elicits a conditioned response
Extinction
instead of rewarding only the target behavior, we reward successive approximations of a target behavior.
Shaping
Which type of learning involves future consequences and is derived from previous experiences?
Cognitive Learning
The type of reinforcement strengthens behavior by removing something undesirable
Negative Reinforcement
