Classical Conditioning
This is the biological, natural behavior that is associated with a stimulus in Classical Conditioning.
What is an Unconditioned Response
This term in Operant Conditioning will always result in INCREASING the desired behavior.
What is reinforcement or a reinforcer?
a mental representation or internal picture of one's physical environment, allowing for navigation, problem-solving, and understanding spatial relationships.
What is a Cognitive map?
In learning, the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior
What is Modeling?
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?
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?
a basic form of learning where an organism's response to a stimulus decreases after repeated exposure.
What is habituation?
Positive, constructive, helpful behavior learned through observation.
What are Prosocial Modeling?
Chanel No. 5 makes Randy feel excited after a passionate moment with his partner, the perfume would be considered what?
What is a Conditioned Stimulus?
Having anxiety when hearing a voice similar to an abusive parent is an example of.
What is stimulus generalization?
Negative, destructive, unhelpful behavior learned through observation.
What are Antisocial Modeling?
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
a system where people earn place-holders (like points or stickers) for demonstrating desired behaviors, then exchange these placeholders for backup reinforcers.
What is Token Economy?
when a person or animal repeatedly faces uncontrollable/negative situations, leading them to believe their actions won't change the outcome, even when escape/change becomes possible.
What is Learned Helplessness?
buying a cool, but expensive, car or choosing a promotion with more stress, are both examples of this.
What is approach-avoidance conflict?
Frontal Lobe nerve cells that fire when performing specific motor actions but also when observing others do so.
What are Mirror Neurons?
If a dog is classically conditioned to run at the sight of a flag, and we remove that stimulus from the equation, what will eventually happen to the dog's conditioned response?
What is extinction? The association between running and the flag will weaken over time until it is forgotten entirely.
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?
Proposed by Albert Bandura it states that behavior, personality and environment interact and shape each other in a cycle. There is no one factor influencing the others.
What is reciprocal determinism?
A cognitive limitation, sometimes learning was demonstrated until after an incentive or time was given to the test subject. This term describes this phenomenon.
What is Latent Learning?
behaviors followed by satisfying consequences are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors followed by discomforting consequences are less likely to occur.
What is Thorndike's Law of Effect?
