Classical Conditioning
Who is known as the "father of Classical Conditioning?"
Who is Ivan Pavlov?
A behavior is learned or avoided because of the result of its consequences--reinforcement is used.
What is Operant Conditioning?
The initial period of learning in classical conditioning?
What is acquisition?
Learning through mental processing.
What is cognitive learning?
Learning by watching others and then imitating what they say or do.
What is observational learning?
The process by which we learn to associate stimuli, and consequently, to anticipate events.
What is the definition of Classical Conditioning?
The psychologist associated with Operant Conditioning and his most famous experiment involve.
Who is B.F. Skinner and what is the Skinner box?
This is the decrease in the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer presented with the conditioned stimulus.
What is extinction?
The psychologist associated with Cognitive Learning?
Who is E.C. Tolman?
The individuals performing the behavior that is imitated by others.
What are models?
This occurs when an organism makes connections between stimuli or events that occur together in the environment.
What is associative learning?
Something is added after a response to strengthen the tendency to repeat the response in the future.
What is positive reinforcement?
The return of a previously extinguished conditioned response following a period of rest.
What is spontaneous recovery?
Learning that occurs but is not observable in behavior until there is a reason to demonstrate it.
What is latent learning?
This is when a model is reinforced for a behavior and the individual viewing the behavior is motivated to copy the model.
What is vicarious reinforcement?
These are motor or neural reactions to a specific stimulus in the environment.
What are reflexes?
This is designed to weaken a response by following the response with something unpleasant.
What is punishment?
This is when an organism learns to respond differently to various stimuli that are similar.
What is stimulus discrimination?
This is what organisms develop in an effort to learn how to navigate specific locations in the environment.
What is a cognitive map?
This individual researched children's modeling of adult behavior.
Who is Albert Bandura?
The reinforcement or schedule involved when Mario catches fish throughout the day at unpredictable intervals.
What is a variable interval?
This is the most effective reinforcement schedule.
What is variable?
This is when an organism learns not to respond to a stimulus that is presented repeatedly without change.
What is habituation?
These behaviorists refused to believe that cognition plays a role in learning.
Who are Skinner and Watson?
These models can be used to encourage socially acceptable behavior.
What are prosocial models?
