Terms of the Unit
Limitations to Conditioning
Observational Learning
100
This is the biological, natural behavior that is associated with a stimulus in Classical Conditioning.
What is an Unconditioned Response
100
This term in Operant Conditioning will always result in INCREASING the desired behavior.
What is reinforcement or a reinforcer?
100
Learning that can occur through observation, language, or other mental functions.
What is Cognitive Learning?
100
A biological limitation, this idea focuses on how certain foods may be favored over harmful foods without the process of conditioning needing to take place.
What is taste aversion?
100

A learning process where behaviors are modified through the association of stimuli with reinforcement or punishmen

What is Operant Behavior?

200
Pavlov's dogs were conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell being rung. At this point, the bell would be considered what?
What is a Conditioned Stimulus
200
This term in Operant Conditioning will always result in a DECREASE of the desired behavior.
What is punishment, or a punisher?
200

When learning has occurred, but it may not be apparent until an incentive has been given to the test subject to demonstrate their learning.

What is latent learning?

200

A natural reinforcer is known as this type of reinforcer

What is a primary reinforcer?

200

Inflatable prop used in the Bandura experiment

What are Bobo Dolls?

300
When it was first introduced, the bell in Pavlov's experiment was considered one of these. After conditioning, it became a conditioned stimulus.
What is a Neutral Stimulus
300
When a teacher gives you an A+ because you worked hard on an essay, what form of Operant Conditioning is being used?
What is Positive Reinforcement?
300
If a test subject has been conditioned to salivate to a bell, but may also salivate to a whistle, we would consider it an example of this term.
What is generalization?
300
A personal limitation, the desire to perform a behavior to receive promised rewards or to avoid punishments and consequences.
What is Extrinsic Motivation?
300

In learning, the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior

What is Modeling?

400
If beth gets in a car crash that results in her being conditioned to fear that specific location of the accident, what role does the accident play in Classical Conditioning?
What is the Unconditioned Stimulus
400
A type of reinforcement schedule. When reinforcing or punishing a behavior, we utilize it every time the desired or undesired behavior occurs.
What is Continuous Reinforcement Schedule
400

A way of learning that allows individuals to learn from the experience of others.

What is vicarious learning?

400

A state that occurs after a person has experienced a stressful situation repeatedly.

What is Learned Helplessness?

400

Children in this group expressed the fewest aggressive behaviors toward the bobo dolls

What is the aggression-punished group?

500
If a dog is classically conditioned to salivate to the sound of the bell, and we remove that stimulus from the equation, what will eventually happen to the dog's conditioned response?
What is extinction. The association between the bell and salivation will weaken over time until it is forgotten entirely.
500
A reinforcement schedule. When we wait for a specific number of responses utilizing the desired behavior, we reinforce.
What is a Fixed-Ratio Reinforcement Schedule
500
In Operant Conditioning, the process of a test subject getting closer and closer to the desired behavior each time they are reinforced or punished.
What is shaping?
500
A cognitive limitation, sometimes learning was demonstrated until after an incentive was given to the test subject. This term describes this phenomenon.
What is Latent Learning?
500

This famous psychologist produced the "bobo the clown experiment" to measure the effects of observational learning and violence in young children.

Who is Albert Bandura?
