A type of associative learning, also referred to as Pavlovian, in which two or more stimuli are linked

what is classical conditioning

100

A type of learning in which a behavior is shaped if followed by a reward or a punishment

what is operant conditioning

100

Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs, and a schedule in which learning is quickest

what is a continuous reinforcement schedule

100

The tendency to respond to similar stimuli, or for responses learned in one situation occurring in other similar situations

What is generalization

100

The desire to perform a behavior due to promised rewards or threats of punishments.

what is extrinsic motivation

100

Psychologist famous for the popular "Bobo Doll" experiment

An unlearned, naturally occurring response

what is an UR

200

Psychologist who created the operant chamber, with its other name being named after him

Who is B.F. Skinner

200

A reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses and produces the highest rates of responses in partial reinforcement

what is a variable-ratio schedule

200

The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished CR

what is spontaneous recovery

200

A desire to perform a behavior effectively for its own sake

what is intrinsic motivation

200

The process of observing and imitating a specific behavior

what is modeling

300

A stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning

What is a neutral stimulus (NS)

300

Its presentation increases behaviors through positive rewards

what is positive reinforcement

300

This schedule produces a slow, steady response and the greatest resistance to extinction

what is a variable-interval schedule

300

The diminishing of a CR when an US no longer follows a CS; or decreased responses without reinforcement

what is extinction

300

The type of reinforcement with meets biological needs first over anything else. 

what is a primary reinforcer. 

300

Many argue that the Bobo Doll Experiment illustrates how exposure to media violence leads to an increased expression of this emotion

What is aggression?

400

An originally neutral stimulus that, after association with an US, comes to trigger a CR

what is a CS

400

This increases behaviors by stopping or reducing aversive stimuli

what is negative reinforcment

400

A learning schedule in which acquisition of a response is delayed but resistance to extinction is enhanced

what is a partial (intermittent) reinforcement schedule

400

Learning to distinguish between a CS and other stimuli that do not signal a US; or learning that some responses, but not others, will be reinforced

what is discrimination

400

The term used to describe living through someone else's reinforcement or punishments. Often through observation. 

what is vicarious reinforcement or punishment. 

400

The hopelessness and passive resignation experienced when unable to avoid repeated aversive events

what is learned helplessness

500

Repeat behaviors that are rewarded in order to reinforce behavior refers to (Thorndike)

what is the law of effect 

500

An event that tends to decrease behavior by withdrawing a rewarding stimulus

what is negative punishment

500

This schedule produces a start-stop pattern of responses

What is a fixed-interval schedule

500

Researchers condition a flatworm to contract its body to a light by repeatedly pairing the light with electric shock. The stage in which the flatworm's contraction response to light is established and gradually strengthened is called

what is acquisition

500

The concept that we have little to no control over our path or outside force determine our fate. 

What is the external locus of control. 

500

Frontal lobe neurons that are believed to fire when observing others

what are mirror neurons

Skinner developed a behavioral technology, where he was able to change the behavior of pigeons through rewarding repeated trials to guide behavior, that included a procedure known as

What is shaping.
