Experience that results in a relatively permanent change in the state of the learner
Learning
100
Resembles the unconditioned response but is produced by a condition stimulus
CR (Conditional Response)
100
A condition in which something is learned but it is not manifested as a behavioral change until sometime in the future.
Latent Learning
100
Pleasant stimulus is ADDED to INCREASE probability of a response
Positive Reinforcement
100
Unpleasant stimulus is added to decrease probability of a response
Positive Punishment
200
Something that reliably produces a NATURALLY occurring reaction in an organism.
US (Unconditional Stimulus)
200
When a neutral stimulus produces a response after being paired with a stimulus that naturally produces a response
Classical Conditioning
200
The tendency of a learned behavior to recover from extinction after a rest period.
Spontaneous Recovery
200
Coined the term "Operant Behavior", with a mouse and Skinner Box. Learned about reinforcement and punishment
B.F Skinner
200
Number of responses required to get reward vaires
Ex: mouse gets cheese after an average of 10 presses, 5, 15, 5 (gets the confused and to reinforce behavior)
Variable Ratio
300
Experiment with a child that involved a loud sound to startle him and give a negative response.
Little Albert
300
A type of learning in which consequences of an organism's behavior determine whether it will be repeated in the future.
Operant Conditioning
300
Behavioral, cognitive and social elements
Observational Learning: learning by watching others (Bandura, 1965)
Without instruction or reinforcement
Social-Cognitive Perspective of Learning
300
After regular number of responses
Ex: mouse gets cheese after pressing a lever 15 times
Fixed Ratio
300
Amount of time required to get reward varies
Ex: mouse gets cheese after an average of 10 minutes, 5, 15, 5
Variable Interval
400
A stimulus that is initially neutral and produces no reliable response in an organism.
Initially neutral and produces to response***
CS (Conditional Stimulus)
400
A condition in which learning takes place by watching the actions of others
Observational Learning
400
Pavlov's experiment with the dog salivating
Conditioning Stimulus and Response Study
400
Researched the study of stimulus and responses with a dog and food.
Ivan Pavlov
400
Unpleasant stimulus is removed to increase probability of a response
Negative Reinforcement
500
A reflexive reaction that is reliably produced by an US.
UR (Unconditional Response)
500
The capacity to distinguish between similar but distinct stimuli.
Discrimination in Classical Conditioning
500
Experiment with a doll and an adult showing aggressive actions towards the dolls
Bobo doll
500
Pleasant stimulus is removed to decrease probability of a response
Negative Punishment
500
After specific amount of time
Ex: mouse gets cheese after 5 minutes.
