A change in behavior due to lifetime events.
What is learning?
An innate response elicited by a "US".
What is an unconditioned response?
Behavior is followed by the removal of a stimulus event and the probability of that behavior reoccurring increases.
What is negative reinforcement?
Time out from positive reinforcement is a form of this kind of punishment.
What is negative punishment?
Different responding in the presence of different stimuli.
What is discrimination?
A type of behavior strengthened or weakened by consequences.
What is operant behavior?
The reduction of UR over repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus that previously elicited the response.
(When a UR gets weaker after repeated exposure to a US)
What is habituation?
Smoke detector -> startle
Smoke detector -> no startle
----
extinction
Bell & food -> salivation
Bell & no food -> no salivation
A simple schedule of reinforcement that results in a high rate of responding with little to no PRPs.
What is a variable ratioschedule?
In this type of contingency, a response terminates an aversive stimulus.
Ex: You find me incredibly annoying so when I start talking to you, you run away.
What is escape?
A stimulus that sets the occasion for nonreinforcement or extinction of an operant.
What is an SΔ (S delta)?
Behavior is due to a complex interaction between these two things.
What are genetics and experience?
Occurrence of a previously extinguished CR following the presentation of a novel stimulus.
(When a CR that was put on extinction comes back after you introduce a new stimulus)
What is disinhibition?
----
Bell + lemon = salivation
EXT
Honk + lemon = salivation
Disinhibition occurs with CRs, dishabituation occurs with URs.
On a cumulative record, ____ is shown on the X axis and _____ is shown on the Y.
Positive punishment, negative reinforcement, and negative punishment are all considered forms of _____ control.
What is aversive control?
This type of reinforcement schedule is best used to study determinants of choice.
What is a concurrent schedule?
Behavior that increases or decreases based on the presentation of an antecedent.
What is respondent behavior?
An increase in responding at the beginning of an extinction session relative to previous sessions (usually after some time has passed).
What is spontaneous recovery?
An FR 5, VI 3, and VR 20 schedule are all examples of this kind of reinforcement schedule.
(Hint: as opposed to a CRF)
What is an intermittent reinforcement schedule?
For this example, assume that Lab Checks are an aversive stimulus. A student forgot there was a Lab Check today until someone reminded them 10 min before class. The student skip class. This is an example of ___________ avoidance.
What is discriminated avoidance?
This procedure involves decisions between smaller-sooner and larger-later rewards.
What is delay discounting?
This domain posits that psychology should focus only on overt behavior that can be measured directly.
BONUS: Who is associated with this area?
What is methodological behaviorism?
BONUS: JOHN B. WATSON
You are being chased/attacked by a goose when finally you both stop. The goose honks at you for 2 s, pauses, and then attacks you (causing pain/fear). The honk alone begins to elicit fear. This is an example of ____ conditioning.
(Answer is NOT "classical")
BONUS: Diagram the CS and US.
What is trace conditioning?
CS _o___
US ___o_
Ka'ala gets one email notification an average of every 20 minutes (ugh). The emails are being delivered on this kind of schedule.
What is a VT 20 min schedule?
In this procedure, a learner is required to restore and improve the condition of the environment. (Ex: A teenager breaks dishes intentionally so their mother has the kid sweep up all the broken dishes, mop the area, and replace the dishes)
What is overcorrection?
SD : R → SR-
In the presence of the _____ stimulus, the response has been _____ _____.
discriminative
negatively reinforced
